Why Americans Prefer to Keep Prince Harry Out of Their Tabloids
The ongoing discourse surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's exit from the British royal family has not only brought to light the differences between British and American tabloids but also the conflicting opinions within the American public. This piece aims to explore why many Americans are more interested in seeing Prince Harry in British tabloids than in their own.
Explicit Request to Keep Harry Away
The sentiment in America is clear: the royals are not wanted back. The phrase 'You keep him please' is often heard, along with the claim that Prince Harry belongs in British tabloids and not American ones. The reasoning stems from a belief that Prince Harry does not find the American media and culture appealing enough to warrant his return.
Constant Media Coverage in British Tabloids
Many American citizens feel that they already see too much of Prince Harry through media outlets like Netflix documentaries, books, and pay-for-view counseling sessions. This exposure, more than that of the actual British royals who live in the country, has led to a sense that Prince Harry is more at home in British tabloids. The repetitive nature of these media engagements has been likened to the 'Groundhog Day' phenomenon, creating fatigue and a preference for him to remain in British tabloids.
Resentment and Payback
Given a recent insurrection in the European monarchy, there is a belief among some that Prince Harry is seeking revenge against American media for lesser coverage. The tone in many of the discussions suggests a level of resentment, with one comment reading: 'Just Call Me Harry is payback time!' This sentiment reflects a broader dissatisfaction with the way Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been portrayed in American media.
Public Perceptions and Apologies
There is an opinion that Prince Harry needs to apologize to the King for his behavior and use his payment from Netflix, which reportedly amounts to $100 million, to fund various charities. This suggestion speaks to the need for reconciliation and a change in behavior for Prince Harry to be welcomed back. However, as long as the public perception remains negative, there is little chance of him regaining the favor in American tabloids.
Detachment from the British Royal Family
Despite his British citizenship, the sentiment among many Americans is that Prince Harry has married into an American lifestyle through Meghan Markle, who is an American citizen. The idea that Meghan Markle causes problems for the British Royal Family is also prevalent, with such issues extending even to her interactions with her own family. The belief is that she does not belong in the British royal family and that her American background is responsible for such difficulties.
Conclusion
While Prince Harry may be more at home in British tabloids, the resistance in the American public towards reintegrating him back into their culture is strong. This sentiment is not just about media coverage but also about a broader sense of national identity and loyalty. As matters stand, it appears that Prince Harry will continue to be a topic of interest in British tabloids rather than American ones, at least for the foreseeable future.
