The British press’s constant negative headlines about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, while not mentioning other issues within the Royal Family, have raised doubts about the media’s impartiality. Despite evidence of scandals involving other members of the Royal Family living in the UK, the media seems to focus on Meghan and Harry, creating a sense that they are being unfairly criticized.
This phenomenon may be due to the differences in the way the British public perceives and expects each member of the Royal Family. Meghan and Harry, after giving up their royal roles to find a new life, have faced a lot of pressure from the public, including criticism of their decision to leave the Royal Family and the way they present themselves to the public. Meanwhile, scandals involving other members, although serious, have received less coverage, possibly due to the influence of the national media.
The question here is, does the excessive focus on Meghan and Harry really reflect the fairness of the media, or is it just part of a series of stories aimed at attracting public attention? This not only loses the objective view of Meghan and Harry’s contributions, but also causes significant harm to them and their families.
In addition, when the media focuses on controversial stories, the public is unintentionally shaped in a negative way about specific figures without fully evaluating multi-dimensional perspectives. This is the time for the media to review its role and move towards more fair and constructive news, helping the public have a balanced view of members of the Royal Family, instead of creating unnecessary conflicts.
