Shorenstein Fellow Miguel Head, chief of staff and press secretary for princes William and Harry for a decade, discusses his likable bosses and their relationship to the media news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2019/04/former-press-secretary-to-william-and-harry-dishes/On the differences between W & H.
They’re incredibly close as brothers, but they’re very different as people and that’s been reflected in the way the media have covered them. Their relationship with the media has been shaped by what happened to them in their childhood.
Prince William is a great consumer of news and current affairs and therefore has a respect for news and the importance of good journalism, and he has always maintained that respect through the time I’ve known him. The way he used to articulate that respect in private was to encourage the media to be the best versions of themselves. He felt that the competitive nature of the British press leads them to be excellent on a world stage, to produce some of the best journalism and journalists in the world, but it leads them to conduct some great excesses, as well. The way in which his parents, particularly his mother, was treated. The way in which, of course, she died.
Prince Harry was younger when his mother died and, by his own admission, that has taken him longer to process in a different way. He has a similar view of the media to Prince William in that he believes that freedom of the press is very important. But he has always found the personal relationship harder. He always wears his emotions on his sleeve. You know how Prince Harry’s feeling and that’s one of the great qualities about him, which people respond to.
On a personal level, he gets on very well with lots of journalists. When he was dating Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, there was a lot of interest in her. He felt very early on that he must lay down a red line about how she is treated by the press — not what the press says about her, the princes know that they can never control that, but just how in terms of how paparazzi photographers behaved around her. He laid down lines very early on in the relationship, which is quite unusual. Prince William waited a lot longer before he set out similar lines around then Kate Middleton.
When they were in their early 20s, the two princes were the first to be identified and take action on a scandal known as phone hacking. They were the first to realize it was happening to them. The police took action on their behalf and two people were jailed for it. The princes were very hurt by that because they had rather hoped that the excesses of intrusion into privacy that had ultimately led Diana, Princess of Wales, to be chased down a tunnel, which led to her death, would have calmed over the years and that they would be treated with a little bit more respect — not respect because of their position, but respect through dint of their humanity, of knowing what happens to people who are intruded [on] at that level. The phone-hacking scandal was a real blow to their trust in the mainstream media.

Well that interview was a pure delight to read. I'm sure the press secretary is incredibly skilled at his job of sounding good to the press (duh) and has NDAs galore... But there was a genuineness there that really adds to the likeability of the Princes and the Royal Family in general.

Do you know what's crazy? This interview should be everywhere, but because it highlights the positives about the Princes, and doesn't discuss any fighting between them, because of or due to Meghan and Kate, the press won't mention it, because it is the opposite of what they want everyone to believe. It was a great piece. |

There’s a couple articles out about Daddy Markle having affairs and possibly not feeding his children?
But I’m not clicking on them or bringing them here for you to click on. Fuck you Thomas.

Whatever T.Markle did or did not do... I'm over here trusting Megan's judgement and going to be firmly in the "he's not cool" camp.

Do not like the yellow piping on Albert’s jacket at all, but I love it on Gabriella. Those kids are always dressed so fashionably, and those sunglasses on Jacques! 😍💕 |

Charlene is so beautiful! I...disagree😬. I thought for the longest time she was just miserable and tragic, but now I just think her face is overworked and frozen so she can’t smile anymore. |

Prince Harry joined the Queen and Prince Philip at the Royal Windsor Horse Show this evening. This year’s pageant is supporting organisations including Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, the platform for young change-makers across the Commonwealth which Harry is president of.   |
