As popularity of Harry and Meghan grew, press coverage turned to become more negative with both Kate and Meghan often pitted against each other. Harry points fingers at the comms teams who, he says, would leak stories to the press about other principle members of the family to skew public opinion in favour of their own principles. "The issue is when someone who's marrying in , who should be a supporting act, is then stealing the limelight, or is doing the job better than the person who is born to do this, that upsets people, it shifts the balance," Harry says. "Because you've been led to believe that the only way that your charities can succeed and the only way that your reputation can be grown or improved is if you're on the front page of those newspapers. But the media are the ones who choose who to put on the front page."
As a result, coverage of Kate and Meghan was blatantly biased. Press cuttings stating that Kate "tenderly cradles" her baby bump, while Meghan doing the same was "vanity" are shown. Headlines that Kate received avocado to help with morning sickness, while Meghan's love of the fruit was "linked to human rights abuse". Or that Kate wore "versatile shoes" while Meghan "broke royal protocol".
Harry says, "This is how it was covered for her. This is how it was covered for her. If you don't see the difference and understand why it's being reported that way then I can't help you. I can't, I'm sorry. I just can't."
Racial undertones within the press began ramping up, as Meghan was accused of diva behaviour, and associations with drugs and terrorism were being drawn.
