Why Meghan Markle Could Receive More Press Coverage Than Kate Middleton Despite Title

Meghan Markle will never be Queen and her role in the royal family will be nothing compared to Kate Middleton, at least in terms of title. But it seems that she could receive more press coverage than the Duchess of Cambridge.

On the online forum site Quora, royal fans shared their thoughts about the Duchess of Sussex’s popularity over Middleton. Sheena Brown likened the situation with how things were between Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret when the latter was still alive.

According to the royal fan, Princess Margaret received more press coverage than her older sister even though she was the head of the monarchy because she was the exuberant and risqué sibling. Even though Princess Margaret made headlines for all the wrong reasons, the Queen didn’t seem to mind all the attention that her younger sister has received.

“Embarrassing at times no doubt but the monarchy can rise above sensationalism. When William becomes King then we shall have Queen Catherine as Consort and she will be very difficult to upstage,” she said.

Mickie Southam said that Markle will only receive more press coverage than Middleton in the United States for very obvious reasons. Not only was the Duchess of Sussex an American citizen, but she also produced a child who is entitled to claim American citizenship but who is also a royal.

“Their importance will fade though whether the press covers them or not. Prince Andrew and Prince Edward seldom get a mention anywhere nowadays and they are the sons of the reigning monarch,” the royal fan said.

Claire Chase raised an interesting point when she said that the kind of press coverage and not the frequency of press coverage is what matters. Markle plays games with the media, and there are rumors that she hired her own PR team to spread the word that she’s a good person.

Middleton, on the other hand, gets press coverage by attending events and by looking impeccable.
