WATCH: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to ‘control their own media’
Royal author Juliet Rieden is saying that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are “leading from the front” after taking control of their own media through the use of their Instagram account, @sussexroyal.
Sitting down with Nine New, Ms Rieden explained that unlike other members of the royal family, Harry and Meghan are determined to be in control over their public image.
“They’re going to lead from the front, they’re going to control their own media with their own social media accounts.”
As for Prince Harry’s upcoming documentary with Oprah Winfrey, Ms Rieden says: “I think it’s a natural fit actually when you think about the way that Oprah has gone about her own charity initiatives.”
“Oprah obviously being American, being a good friend of Meghan’s, she was at their wedding.
“It’s an interesting initiative to see a royal on a bigger stage there with a veteran of the TV industry.”
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed baby Archie on May 6th.
