Kate
William and Kate have been together for a long time, and, naturally, since she was a part of the royal family meant that she would be under the constant watch of paparazzi and the mass media. When she started dating William, she was followed everywhere and it seemed that we could follow each and every of her steps in the media and magazines. It was thought that this attention would cease to be so active when William and Kate get married and get children, but the opposite thing happened – the press follows each and every step they make.
Announcement
Kate started to hope that all this frenzy would stop when Harry announced that he would marry an actress from the USA in 2016. Truth to be told, the press and paparazzi has switched a lot of attention to Meghan, however, they are still following each and every stem Kate make. So, the focus is not only on one, but on both of them.
Commoner
We need to point out that William is the first person in the royal family who is direct heir to the throne and who married a commoner. To be frank, we need to say that this already happened to the royal family, but not to the direct heirs to the throne. The fact that Kate was not coming from an aristocratic background was very interesting for the media and they followed her 24/7.
Meghan
When the announcement of Harry’s marriage appeared people were shocked because of two reasons: the first one is that his future wife is an actress and the second one is that she comes from the USA. The strange thing is because Meghan does not know anything about how social life and royal life functions in the UK. Also, let’s not forget that Meghan has also been divorced once. The media did its best in order to find everything they could about Meghan’s personal life. And they surely did since they dag all the dirt and they published it in media and on social accounts.
Meghan’s family
It seems as the media does not have a problem to find anything bad about Meghan unlike for Kate. This is simply true due to very simple reasons. Let’s just remember that Meghan’s father as well as her half-sister and half-brother have been posting bad staff about Meghan for a long time. For example, Samantha even sent a Christmas card to Meghan imploring her to visit their father since there are chances that he would not be alive for much longer. The strange thing about this card is that it was sent to a newspaper and not to Meghan personally. Meghan’s father was not much better since he also gave interviews to the media and even showed the entire world a personal letter that Meghan sent him.
Different treatment
The media has been following Kate for a long time, but it seems that they are more intrigued by Meghan than by Kate. In some cases, they portray a good picture about her, but sometimes there are just too many nasty staff about Meghan in the press.
