Australian TV hosts Kylie Gillies and Larry Mdurr, co-hosts of Channel 7’s The Morning Show, have hilariously parodied the new power pictures of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that were recently made public.
The couple’s unique pose, with Meghan standing in front of her husband while holding his index finger, inspired the hosts to recreate the photo.
Gillies, who had coincidentally worn a red blouse with a long scarf similar to Meghan’s in a portrait, playfully branded the royal pair as the Duke and Duchess of Bullshit in her caption.
In the original picture, Meghan is seen wearing a red blouse and matching trousers, complemented by a chunky gold ring and earrings.
The former Suits actress stands confidently facing the camera, holding one of Harry’s fingers.
Behind her, the Duke stands at an angle, sporting a smart black suit and tie.
These new photos were released just days after the Royal Family shared a new portrait featuring Prince William, Catherine, King Charles, and Queen Consort Camilla.
According to Tom Bower, a renowned author, this timing was not a coincidence.
Bower believes that Charles intended to convey a message with the family portrait, emphasizing that the Royal Family has moved on without Meghan and Harry.
He suggests that the couple, now firmly ostracized and excluded, will not be welcomed back.
Bower further reveals that there was a lack of warmth between the Sussexes and the rest of the Royal Family, making it unlikely for Harry to find a way back.
The consequences of their choices will be felt, and they will suffer.
Bower also sheds light on Meghan’s motives, stating that she may have never truly wanted to live in England.
Her ultimate goal seemed to be acquiring the royal title and returning to California, which is precisely what happened.
Meghan’s financial struggles before becoming a successful actress played a significant role in her pursuit of the Hollywood lifestyle, which is notoriously expensive.
Money has always been important to her, and Project Sussex appears to revolve around capitalizing on opportunities like attending funerals to gain publicity.
Adding to the discussion, Royal expert Kinsey Schofield claims that Meghan is now taking control of her public image because she believes she can handle it better herself.
Schofield highlights how both Tom Bower and Valentin Lowe’s books explore Meghan’s dissatisfaction with past PR efforts and her desire to manage her image independently.
She warns that those tired of hearing about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should brace themselves for a deluge of positive press coverage and glamorous photos.
With Harry, or “palm tree number two” as Schofield humorously refers to him, often in the background, Meghan has a clear vision of how she wants to be perceived by the public.
It seems that opinions on Meghan are already polarized, with people having established either a positive or negative viewpoint.
This hands-on approach from Meghan regarding her brand is evident in the copy and paste tweets from outlets owned by Hearst Mediacorp, such as Seventeen magazine and Cosmopolitan.
Meghan’s activism and altruism are well-known, as she passionately advocates for various causes aimed at making the world a better place.
Interestingly, these causes align closely with the narrative Meghan pursued in her Vanity Fair cover story.
In conclusion, the recent parodies of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s power pictures by Australian TV hosts have added a touch of humor to the royal couple’s ongoing saga.
As Meghan takes control of her public image and pursues her own brand, opinions remain divided.
