Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

[[File:Prince Harry and Ms. Markle visit Catalyst Inc (41014635231).jpg|thumb|Harry and Meghan in 2018.]]{{ukpolitics}}
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, better known as '''Prince Harry''' {{lived|1984}} and '''Meghan Markle''' {{lived|1981}}, are a married couple who are members of the [[British Royal Family]]. Born to (then-)[[Prince Charles]] and [[Princess Diana]], Prince Harry is fifth in line of succession to the throne (at birth he was third in line). They are popular tabloid [[clickbait]] as part of the wider media-manufactured '[[culture war]]'.

== Agreeable undertakings ==

Among the public statements made by the Sussexes, their valid points include on topics of;
* The importance of good mental health. (''Invictus Games'', ''The Me You Can't See (2021)'',<ref>https://tv.apple.com/us/show/the-me-you-cant-see/</ref> BetterUp<ref>https://www.betterup.com/en-gb/about-us/leadership-team</ref>)
* [[Privacy]] and press intrusion in which the High Court found in the Sussexes favour in legal actions in 2022.<ref>[https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Sussex-v-Associated-News-judgment-021221.pdf HRH Duchess of Sussex v Associated Newspapers Ltd [2021] EWCA Civ 181]</ref>
* The state of the news media generally (e.g., bias, ''[[Daily Mail]]'' and other [[tabloids]], [[Facebook]], Leveson Inquiry, [[Piers Morgan]] and phone hacking).
* [[Bullying]] (Jeremy Clarkson has dreamt of Meghan being made to parade naked through the streets with faeces being flung at her)<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/dec/18/jeremy-clarkson-condemned-meghan-column-the-sun</ref>
* Discrimination and diversity.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/global/2020/jan/18/meghan-gets-more-than-twice-as-many-negative-headlines-as-positive</ref>
* [[Charity|Charitable causes]] (''Invictus Games'', ''Archewell Foundation''<ref>https://archewell.com/foundation/</ref>, ''Sentebale'')
* The [[environment]] (''Travalyst''<ref>https://travalyst.org/</ref>)
* [[Meditation]]: Prince Harry is a daily practitioner of meditation and advocates for it as part of treatment for burnout.<ref>https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/i-have-to-meditate-every-single-day-says-prince-harry-cxvsgsjnw</ref>

==Impact on the media==

[[File:MeghanKate01.png|thumb|Bias in the ''Daily Mail'']]

They resigned from royal duties and moved to settle in [[California]]. Despite not being working royals, they maintain a public profile in the media. With the institution of royalty and rule by monarchy being based on fealty and deference (and not much else e.g. ability, popularity etc.), Harry and Meghan's similarities to working royals, and differences can be used to reliably mine stories on the barest of threads. Typical stories can be any of the following (indicative of the importance of royalty in [[Britain]]:
*Who wore what clothing
*The King/Queen
*Royal expert speculation
*Titles disputes
*Wealth and money
*Anonymous staff/palace source speculation
*Official statements, tweets, comments, events or occasions
*Royal protocol
*Media or TV engagement, interviews
Reader engagement in a 'culture war' story can be personalised with Harry and Meghan as figureheads. [[Manufactured controversy]] for [[ad]] revenue can be maximised further by contrasting the smallest of differences with Prince Harry's brother Prince William and sister-in-law, Kate. This [[false dilemma]] appeals to those with simple reasoning abilities.

=== Studies ===

[[File:Telegraph Meghan Kate Privacy.png|thumb|Bias in [[The Daily Telegraph]]. What did happen to manners, grace, and sensitivity?]]

In 2020, ''[[The Guardian]]'' analysed 843 articles in the British press over a year and a half, finding it statistically proven that Meghan received more negative press. Twice as many headlines were negative as compared to positive and the Kate received more favourable and less unfavourable press.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/global/2020/jan/18/meghan-gets-more-than-twice-as-many-negative-headlines-as-positive</ref> In 2021, the first of three reports into abuse of Harry and Meghan online made by Twitter analytics provider {{wpl|Bot Sentinel}} analysed 114,000 tweets and concluded, similarly, that a hate campaign had been organised from a small number of accounts.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Cheng |first1=Amy |title=Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, was target of organized hate campaign on Twitter, report says |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/10/27/meghan-markle-twitter-hate-campaign/ |website=Washington Post |access-date=30 October 2023 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/2OUJW |archive-date=30 October 2023 |date=27 October 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Ng |first1=Kate |title=Harry and Meghan targeted by hate campaign fueled by Twitter’s algorithm, report says |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/royal-family/meghan-markle-online-hate-twitter-b1946252.html |website=The Independent |access-date=30 October 2023 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/mETSm |archive-date=2021-10-27 |language=en |date=27 October 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Davies |first1=Caroline |title=Meghan target of coordinated Twitter hate campaign, report finds |url=https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/oct/27/meghan-target-of-co-ordinated-twitter-hate-campaign-report-finds |website=The Guardian |access-date=30 October 2023 |archive-url=https://archive.ph/APJtg |archive-date=2021-10-27 |date=27 October 2021}}</ref> Bot Sentinel's further reports found journalists followed and interacted with the troll accounts and amplified their conspiracies on TV and that the troll accounts have turned the coordinated hate campaign "into a lucrative hate-for-profit enterprise."<ref>{{cite web |author1=Bot Sentinel |title=Coordinated Hate Campaign Targeting Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex - report-01-18-2022.pdf |url=https://botsentinel.com/reports/documents/duke-and-duchess-of-sussex/report-01-18-2022.pdf |website=botsentinel.com |access-date=30 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230518121036/https://botsentinel.com/reports/documents/duke-and-duchess-of-sussex/report-01-18-2022.pdf |archive-date=18 May 2023 |language=en |date=18 January 2022}}</ref>

== Wider societal significance ==

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have no constitutional role apart from  the Duke's position as a Counsellor of State.<ref>{{wpa|Counsellor of State}}</ref> In accruing wealth and power whilst preaching (sometimes the [[vague]]st) of [[progressive]] (or [[New Age]]) messages, Harry and Meghan are no more grifters than the rest of the House of Windsor are descendants of grifters, and grifters who were prepared to practise violence to exercise their right of conquest. National differences between Britain and the [[United States]] and the long tradition of monarchical rule in Britain can be drawn upon for stories too. As with most modern portrayals of public figures, Harry and Meghan have supporters, just as they have opponents. These opponents are more consistently and explicitly aligned with [[conservatism]], or more covertly with anti-Americanism and [[racism]]. When triggered by the press stories about the couple, they help drive traffic to websites and inadvertently help maintain the public interest in the couple and the drama in whose interest it is for the media to maintain. Many [[Appeal to celebrity|celebrities]] take advantage of this sort of mutually beneficial arrangement, and modern royals are also celebrities too.
