There is something simple and relatable about Prince Harry and Meghan’s predicament and their proposed solution
Harry, the charismatic ginger prince, has always inspired fanciful thinking. But it has usually been other people doing the thinking.
There are notorious conspiracy theories over his paternity, given the state of his parents’ marriage. There are rumours about his rakish behaviour with army mates. The point is everyone seems to like him more than the others, except perhaps the Queen, and they seek to set him apart in their minds. He has cultivated this image successfully. Politicians are sometimes evaluated by how much people want to have a beer with them, and it also works for princes.
A statement by the Duke and Duchess says they plan to continue to honour their duties to the Queen, the Commonwealth and their patronages, but that they will be dividing their time between England, where they live outside London in Windsor, and North America. They have only specified the continent, but given Meghan’s history as a Torontonian and the fact they appear to have made this decision while on holiday on Vancouver Island, Canada is being reported as the likely destination.
“This is going to be a global branding phenomenon,” said John Pliniussen, associate professor of marketing at Queen’s University. “In terms of monetization, it’s unlimited. It’s virtually unlimited.”“We understand their desire to take a different approach but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through,” the Royal Family said in a statement that radiated displeasure. “Discussions with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage.
Even if the legal details are unclear and as complicated as the King Harry theory, there is something simple and relatable about Harry and Meghan’s predicament and their proposed solution.
