What experience does Meghan have making documentaries? Royals use professional production. KP utilises the talents of BAFTA ( William’s President)
[...] her royal life will involve visiting primary schools, making small talk and unveiling plaques.
Monarchy is hierarchical. Meghan and Harry aren’t centre stage but a supporting act.
When it comes to royal duties, its a hierarchy yes. But when it comes to the actual work, patronages and such, its team work. You think Harry and Meghan have to sit in the shadows like trolls so that William and Kate can shine? No. Anne, Edward, heck even Andrew do their fair share of royal duties, Anne works harder then anyone but Charles and the queen. And they are so far down the bloody hierarchy its not funny now.
No one, certainly not I, suggested she was going to become Spielberg of documentaries.
Royals do in fact appear on screen, even if they are directed by actual videographers. Charles most certainly has. Charles has appeared in videos, as well as being a published author. Harry has done mini ones with social media. There is absolutely no reason to believe, if Meghan wished to do more then simply cut ribbons and make speeches, she could do so.
Royals keep saying they want to streamline and do more by less. Actually tapping into social media, and getting creative, would go a long way.
I think much of this seems practical. Meghan could certainly do readings or narration, either for documentaries or charitable purposes. She could take on performing arts patronages. I do not see it being at all feasible for her to continue acting on stage or screen as a character.
Thank you that is exactly what I meant. Not her becoming so Spielberg director and trying to take over from BAFTA hires as suggested.
Simply that all royals have found their niche and to find causes to support, but also ways to support them. It would be great for Meghan to be able to do so in her own way. Harry has done coaching camps, and gets hands on now. Maybe Meghan will be patron of a kid's theater program, and from time to time help with their theater classes.
Guess best way to look at them, as they aren't the future monarchs, they can take on causes that are more personal and not just the big heavies.
I agree. I think folks are setting themselves up for a fall if they think Meghan is going to join the BRF and then not work within the system as it currently is.
Past behavior is the best indicator for future. She's been conforming to the expected behavior/routine of a BRF member for months now.
She has said before that her charity work is very important, that she works so she can actually do the charity work. Her charities are going to be her focus and where she can make the greatest impact.
Sorry folks, just don't think you going to see her on an episode of Call the Midwife et al.
I am sorry but who suggested any such thing? That she would continue actually acting? I have seen no one.
What kind of charity work do royals do? They don't actually do it, in the sense they aren't walking dogs in animal shelters, or planting trees (well one for show), or reading to the seniors. They are doing tours and attending fundraisers. They are cutting ribbons and shaking hands. That's the reality of things.
The main purpose of royals is to bring attention to their causes. And the royals are modernizing. Why have we seen the Cambridges on radio shows? Harry on social media videos? Because they are conscious of the changes in how to reach people.
Charles and other royals have been involved in documentaries on historical projects. And certain causes. Appearing on screen to talk about the cause they are working with. No reason to believe, that Meghan could not do the same with whatever projects she takes on.
Or that she cant find theater and art related patronages. We see Harry and Kate getting into sports camps and such. No reason to think Meghan couldn't do so with her arts patronages, if she takes some on.
