They famously warred over flower girl tights but a new battle is erupting between Kate and Meghan and this time it’s being played out in public.
When the Coronation Commission, which was chaired by Prince Philip, was formed in 1952 to plan the ascension of Queen Elizabeth, someone floated a novel idea: Why not broadcast the grand, bloated spectacle on TV?
While initially the Commission resisted the notion, they soon gave way to public feeling and ta da! And thus, the age of the sovereign as a mass entertainment spectacle was born. The sticking point here is this: They are not the only duke and duchess to have gotten into the content game of late., signed not one but two mega deals with streaming giants Netflix and Spotify to create TV series, documentaries and podcasts.
There is a certain apples and oranges thing going on here. While Harry and Meghan are working on documentaries, docu-series, feature films, scripted shows and children’s television for Netflix, thus far the videos that William and Kate have helped produce have included such soporific outings as watching him give a 14-minute speech to something called the charity commission.
Given all of this, I think we can expect their YouTube offerings to be far more compelling human storytelling, and sharing voices other than their own.Source:AFPThis is not the first time the Cambridges and the Sussexes have fought something of a social media duel. Cast your mind back to 2019 when Harry and Meghan split off their office and royal presence from Kensington Palace and set up their own staff and Instagram account.
