Listen up, folks! Here's something that’s got everyone buzzing. Richard Palmer, a seasoned reporter, has dropped a pretty interesting observation about Meghan Markle. According to Palmer, journalists covering royal events are deliberately kept far away from the Duchess of Sussex. Why? Well, it’s so they can’t catch what Meghan says to her fans. Crazy, right?

Now, you might be wondering why this even matters. Palmer suggests it’s all about maintaining the royal image. The last thing they want is for reporters to overhear anything Meghan might say that could be seen as unflattering or out of line with royal protocol. After all, Meghan is still learning the ropes as a member of the British monarchy, and every word she says is under scrutiny. Let’s dive deeper into this, shall we?

Palmer’s Perspective: A Closer Look

In a recent tweet on July 31, Palmer shared his thoughts, saying, "As for the Duchess of Sussex, I’d like to make a couple of other observations as a reporter who’s covered her engagements. Royal rota journalists are being kept further away from her than we were before the wedding. That means we can’t hear what she is saying." It’s like they’ve drawn an invisible line, and the press isn’t allowed to cross it.

Palmer went on to explain how this affects the stories journalists can write. "If you can’t get direct quotes from members of the royal family, that often makes for dull stories. You go up afterward and ask what she said. Mr. Bloggs said: ‘The Duchess expressed the hope that women would eventually get the same opportunities as men in this profession.’ Boring," he wrote. It seems like the lack of direct quotes leaves reporters with little to work with, forcing them to focus more on what Meghan wore and how she looked.

Comparing Meghan to Kate

Palmer drew a comparison between Meghan and Kate Middleton. "So, just as with Kate, that inevitably leaves you with little else to write about except what she wore and looked like. They are two lovebirds so it is quite sweet but these stories have limited shelf life," he noted. It’s clear that Palmer feels this approach doesn’t do justice to Meghan’s potential as a royal figure.

What Does the Future Hold?

Palmer expressed hope for Meghan’s future interactions with the media. "My hope is that when they come back from their summer break, Meghan will be given a bit of a freer rein to express herself (within earshot of the media) and get stuck into some of the serious topics she wants to tackle. She has the soft power to help many people in this world," he continued. It’s evident that Palmer believes Meghan has the ability to make a real impact if given the chance to speak freely.

"What she wears will always be of interest to some readers, of course, but it doesn’t have to be all of the story," Palmer concluded. It’s clear that Palmer believes there’s so much more to Meghan than just her outfits and appearance. The world is waiting to see what Meghan will bring to the table once she’s given the freedom to express herself fully.
