Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are at loggerheads with the royal family. But it seems they do share some common ground with Prince William and Kate Middleton. They are all in together to make the digital world a safer place for kids and families. For both royal couples, this one cause is close to their hearts.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle share common ground with Prince William and Kate Middleton, says expert
Last week, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle received the Humanitarians of the Year honor for their contribution to making the online world a safe place for children. And it seems they are not the only royal couple to raise awareness of the dangers of the digital world. Even Prince William and Kate Middleton have expressed concern about the same.
In fact, the Princess of Wales also recently delivered a powerful message about the connection between mental health and social media. She gave the speech just hours before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex received their award at the Project Healthy Minds Gala in New York City.
This led former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond to believe that the royal couples had finally found common ground. She told Mirror, “I don’t think this is a rivalry between Harry and Meghan and William and Catherine. The two princes and Catherine were involved in mental health issues before Meghan came along. It is something they care deeply about.”
The ex-BBC royal correspondent further added that “both couples” are promoting “an important message, and one that affects us all.”
While many were confused about the Sussexes’ joint appearance at the event, Bond thinks it’s fair. Moreover, looking at their past appearances, she even feels that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have “moved on from their royal roles.” She added, “They are now full-blown celebrities. And this award was for both of them, so it was natural that they make a joint appearance.”
Nevertheless, looking at the royal couples raising awareness about “dangers that the Internet, and particularly social media, pose to our children,” Bond thinks “both couples should rightly be applauded for using their fame, be it as royals or celebrities, to highlight this crucial issue.”
