The Prince and Princess of Wales reportedly have a new strategy to avoid “public rift” with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The royal couple, who are evidently very popular in the UK, are wanting to “protect” their status and keep any negative goings-on with the Sussexes’ private.
According to one PR expert, William and Kate are using the tactic that will keep their standing in the public eye, as well as helping keep them being viewed in a positive light.
Since Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior royals in 2020, the two couples have been involved in a public feud ever since.
PR expert Sophie Attwood has said that the couple’s strategy involves no public interactions with the couple – and not even a mention.

She said: “While the Royal Family’s approach to the Sussexes may seem enigmatic at times, it aligns with their overarching press strategy of maintaining a unified image, respecting privacy, controlling the narrative, focusing on duties, adapting to media dynamics, and preserving the institution.
“In a world where public perception is paramount, these considerations underscore the careful deliberation that goes into their public relations decisions.
“By minimising public interactions and discussions regarding the Sussexes, it’s clear they aim to avoid public rifts and controversies that could tarnish the image of the monarchy as a whole.”
Ms Attwood also explained that William and Kate even refrain from speaking of Meghan and Harry in public.

Last month, the couple didn’t even make any mention of Harry’s Invictus Games, which took place in Germany.
Instead, Kate and William used the time around the Games to focus on their own projects following their summer break.
In regards to any chance of a reconciliation between the two brothers, one expert claims there is “no way back”.
Speaking previously to The Sun’s Fabulous Magazine, royal expert and journalist Jennie Bond predicted that William was “hurt so deeply” by Harry’s spiteful claims.
She added: “There is no way back for the brothers. I just can’t see it.

“Because of these entrenched positions and the fact Harry has visited the UK without either of them, as far as we know, lifting a finger to phone or text or meet up, I really can’t see them mending the rift any time soon.
“William is hurt so deeply that I think he probably just blanks Harry out of his mind most of the time. He has moved on with his life, and I guess so has Harry.”
Harry and Meghan made the decision to step down as working royals in January 2020, with the couple shortly moving to the US to begin a new life their with their son and, eventually, their daughter.
