The Royal Family's Communication Strategy: An American Perspective

As an American observer, the question of how the British Royal Family communicates with the public has garnered significant attention. It is essential to recognize that a more appropriate answer lies with the British populace. However, from my vantage point, I must express my appreciation for the way the Royal Family (RF) communicated about the losses of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II over the past few years.

Communicating Grief and Honor

The RF's approach to sharing England's grief during these times was both profound and respectful. Including the world in their farewells and honoring the deceased figures reflected the deep respect and honor shown to Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II. Their ability to communicate effectively in times of loss was truly commendable.

Challenges and Criticism

While appreciating the RF's communication efforts, I have observed two significant areas of concern. Firstly, there is a growing public frustration with the RF's decision not to address the antics of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle more directly. Both Harry and Meghan, while living in America, continue to retain their royal titles, which carries no substantial meaning or benefit in the United States. The rationale behind this decision is baffling to many Americans, who see it as a betrayal of the RF.

Secondly, the RF's allowance of Harry and Meghan's continued use of royal titles, despite their perceived disrespect to the institution, is a source of contention. Harry and Meghan's public statements critical of the monarchy have led to a sharp divide in public perception, with many questioning the RF's decision to maintain their titles.

Maintaining Public and Commonwealth Support

Despite these challenges, the RF has demonstrated a commendable communication strategy. They prioritize their role as symbols of unity and pride for the British public and the Commonwealth countries. The RF avoids political involvement and focuses on their public duties and responsibilities.

Public Perception and Support

While the RF maintains a positive image in the eyes of the British public and the Commonwealth, there are valid concerns about the broader impact of Harry and Meghan's actions. A key question to the British public is whether they support the continued use of royal titles by individuals who have seemingly distanced themselves from the institution, and even criticize it often.

The Royal Family's communication is a delicate balance between maintaining tradition and adapting to modern standards. As the world continues to evolve, so must the approach of the Royal Family in engaging with the public and addressing contemporary issues.

As an American, I remain fascinated by the intricacies of the British Royal family's communication strategy and hope for continued insight into how they navigate this complex landscape of public and international relations.
