The truth is that these people are not really relatable. Obviously, this was before he and Meghan hot-footed it over to the States, became pals with Oprah, ditched the British royal family, signed megawatt deals with Netflix and Spotify, and became the figureheads for ‘ethical banking’. When I covered Meghan and Harry’s wedding in Windsor in 2018, practically every person I spoke with said the reason they loved Harry was because he was just so relatable. It came shortly after Harry and Meghan were roundly, and rightly, criticised for their use of private jets.īut what we see of William and Kate's family life has been carefully curated.Īnd then something comes along that reminds royal fans that – wait one second! – these people are literal millionaires.Īnd, no, they are not going to go on the same middle-of-the-road mid-term break as me and you because – guess what? – they live in castles, and are the future king and queen of England. In 2019, it was headline news when William and Kate were spotted at an airport in Norwich waiting on the tarmac to board a low-cost flight to Scotland. They are seen as being diametrically opposed to Royals-turned-LA power couple Harry and Meghan. They are a self-styled low-key couple who love taking photographs of their children frolicking in dappled garden light, taking the dog for walks in the rain, baking, and recycling winter coats.Īs a couple they are packaged as prudent and practical. William is stoic and loyal and supports Aston Villa football club: I mean, Aston Villa! We read that Kate is an Everywoman from a middle-class background in middle England who wears sensible clothes bought from high street stores.
But regardless, any time the royals do something against their own diligently crafted personal brand, it ruffles feathers.Īnd this is against brand for Kate and William who have positioned themselves as down-to-earth royals.
