Recently, the British royal family issued a new statement on Princess Kate's health. Against this backdrop, PR expert Ryan McCormick warned Meghan Markle and Prince Harry not to publicly comment on Princess Kate's health before returning to the British royal family to avoid excessive public speculation.
According to British media on March 4, Princess Kate has not been in the public eye since January this year due to planned abdominal surgery. When news of her hospitalization was announced, Kensington Palace explained that she would not be reinstated until after Easter, but that didn't stop the spread of all sorts of weird conspiracy theories on social **.
In an exclusive interview with The Mirror, McCormick explained why Harry and Meghan should be wary of these bizarre theories. He said: "Harry and Meghan would do well not make any public comments about Kate. Anything they say will be over-interpreted, and if they wish Kate an early **, then speculation about what's really going on behind the scenes will be spread everywhere. ”
He said that Prince Harry and Meghan could win the favor of the royal family if they remain silent.
He explained: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex can slowly begin to regain the trust of the royal family by strictly following what they are instructed to do. McCormick's remarks come after Kensington Palace released new information in an effort to quell speculation about Kate's whereabouts.
A few days ago, a royal spokesman said: "Kensington Palace made clear the timetable for the princess ** in January, and we will only provide important updates. That guiding principle is still in place. The Princess of Wales has been in good shape. ”
In a statement earlier, Princess Kate said she hoped the public would understand her desire to maintain as much of a normal life as possible for her children, as well as her desire to keep personal medical information private. "Kensington Palace will only be updated on developments regarding the Princess of Wales when there is important new information to share," the statement read. The Princess of Wales has apologised for having to postpone her upcoming official business and she looks forward to resuming as many of her duties as possible as soon as possible. ”
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle has also been warned that there are five key things she needs to focus on if she returns to the UK later this year.
According to British media sources, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, may return to the UK later this year, and she may consider returning with Prince Harry when he returns to the UK in May this year to participate in the Invincible Games. The 42-year-old Meghan is said to be "nervous" about returning.
The last time Meghan set foot on British soil was in September 2022, when she returned to the UK from California to attend the funeral of the late Queen. Her appearance at the time sparked discussion, as she had vowed never to set foot on British soil again.
But now, Renae Smith, founder and director of Atticism, says that if Meghan is considering returning to the UK later this year when Harry returns to the 10th anniversary celebrations of the Invincible Games, there are five things she needs to do that will focus on "transparent communication, positive action, participation, personal connection and utilising socialisation".
"First of all, transparent communication," the expert explained. Megan needs to be clear and open about the reasons for her return, while dealing with past statements about never returning home to show growth and change. Secondly, positive initiatives. Participating in charitable events or initiatives that are relevant to the UK public, highlighting her commitment to positive impact, may help to improve the public's perception of her. ”
Third, interaction. Meghan can build a better relationship with the royal family through a gesture of reconciliation or solidarity, either publicly or privately. Such actions, if perceived sincere, may help to repair the public's perception of her. Finally, take advantage of social**. Through social platforms, she can share her experiences and motivations directly with the public, bypassing traditional biases and establishing a more direct connection. ”
Overall, Harry and Meghan's return to the UK is in the spotlight, and every move they make will affect their relationship with the British royal family and the British public. It is only through practical action that they can win the trust of their families and change public perceptions.
