Behind-the-scenes glimpse hints at Sussexes’ influence on royal media
strategy.
King Charles has reportedly included a nod to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
in preparations for his upcoming Christmas speech, sparking speculation of
their continued influence on royal affairs.
According to royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths, the monarch has adopted a
modern approach reminiscent of the Sussexes by sharing behind-the-scenes
footage of his historic address. A brief clip posted on the royal family’s
official Instagram account offers a rare glimpse of the King rehearsing.
“I’ve never seen a preview before,” Griffiths told GB News. “It’s only a
split-second glimpse, but it is fascinating and shows him looking, I think,
quite nervous.”
She noted the royal family’s shift towards a more contemporary, media-savvy
strategy, citing Catherine’s earlier video discussing her chemotherapy
treatment as an example of their Hollywood-inspired style.
“Perhaps they’re taking tips from Meghan and Harry,” Griffiths speculated,
highlighting the Sussexes’ well-known media acumen from their base in
California.
The King’s updated approach reflects an effort to connect with modern
audiences while subtly acknowledging the evolving dynamics within the royal
family.
