Hello, this is your reminder that literally everything the Royal Family do is about PR. They are not neutral. Marketing, misleading the public and controlling narratives around themselves are absolutely central to their identity and their success.

If something feels like an advert that’s because it’s an advert.

If something feels off, that’s because it’s off.

If something feels like a cover up, that’s because it’s a cover up.

If something feels like a distraction, that’s because it’s a distraction.

Stop looking at our monarchy as if it’s this little old special family who just so happen to be born into royalty, and start seeing them for what they are. - Dr. Jessica Taylor

“In 2020, Meghan decided to start putting her money where her taste was and began investing in a small portfolio of female-run companies. The latest: Cesta Collective, which specializes in basket bags that are handwoven by a collective of women in Rwanda and finished in Italy.” - NYT

So, not only did Harry and Meghan finance this trip with their own resources, their Archewell Foundation just announced three major contributions to support education, culture and community well-being in the areas they visited.
