Royal biographer Angela Levin, who spent over a year accompanying Harry on royal engagements, warned the couple cannot pick and choose when they want media attention. She added that Meghan
Markle needs to remember she is a senior royal and not a celebrity. Writing in the Daily Telegraph, she said: “The nub of the matter is that the couple can’t have it both ways. “Meghan may
be used to having attention on her terms only, when her performances are promoted and her image carefully managed by PRs and lawyers, but she is now a senior royal rather than a celebrity.
“Similarly Harry needs to be careful not to demand privacy on one hand, yet expect attention on his terms when he is trying to promote his charities and other good works." Ms Levin said
the couple’s comments on the media was “unlike anything a member of the Royal Family had ever done”. The couple published a statement on their official website on the penultimate day of
their royal tour of Africa hitting out at a “ruthless campaign” against the Duchess, similar to the media assault on the late Princess Diana. Prince Harry said he feared his wife has fallen
victim to the “same powerful force” his mother did before her death, saying he could no longer be a “silent witness to her private suffering”. His statement read: “Unfortunately, my wife has
become one of the latest victims of a British tabloid press that wages campaigns against individuals with no thought to the consequences – a ruthless campaign that has escalated over the
past year, throughout her pregnancy and while raising our newborn son. “There is a human cost to this relentless propaganda, specifically when it is knowingly false and malicious, and though
we have continued to put on a brave face – as so many of you can relate to – I cannot begin to describe how painful it has been. “Because in today’s digital age, press fabrications are
repurposed as truth across the globe. One day’s coverage is no longer tomorrow’s chip paper.” JUST IN: ROYAL BOMBSHELL: HOW BILL TO OFFICIALLY ABOLISH THE MONARCHY WAS SIGNED BY JEREMY
