Royal experts are now comparing the level of criticisms other royal family members experience. However, unlike Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, they never resign or even complain. Two great examples of that are Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles, who both experience in-depth scrutinies and mockeries when they become a thing after Princess Diana's death.
In veteran royal commentator Arthur Edwards' article for The Sun, he noted that the Duchess of Cornwall dealt with harsher criticisms when she became the Prince of Wales' new partner. With everything she went through, she just dwarfed what the Sussexes' were experiencing, making her an excellent example for the Duchess of Sussex.
Camilla and Prince Charles faced their own crises within the royal family. In fact, the heir to the throne suffered "more adverse publicity" than anyone in the royal family in modern times after Princess Diana's death and his new marriage.
But, unlike Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Edwards noticed that the heir to the throne didn't run away, hide, criticize, and ban anyone from the Rota. Prince Charles and Camilla faced the criticisms, let the media made noise, and showed to the world their real intent to help their country and serve its people as their duties. "No matter what bad publicity they have had, they have always looked straight down the camera and won over their critics," he said.
In Penny Junor's 2017 biography The Duchess, he revealed how Camilla bravely weathered the horrendous time. Aside from being the subject of rude jokes, crude cartoons, and crucial headlines, she also received disturbing phone calls all day every day, abusive letters, and became a virtual prisoner in a big house with no security.
She experienced the worst, not just her but her family as well, but she braved the storm. Junor commended Camilla for standing up despite the unimaginable public humiliation. "I suspect most people would have been crushed by it," he said, via Express.
Prince Charles and Camilla remained silent and just did their works. They were a complete opposite of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who blame the media for the adverse reports, cancel the Rota, and ban all the newspapers -- except for The Daily Telegraph.
Edwards warned the young couple that they should be aware of how a newspaper works. As a serious periodical publication, the Telegraph will do its work and inform its readers should it find Meghan Markle and Prince Harry do something that they should be held accountable. He even advised that they should ask the MPs who fiddled their expenses about it.
