“This Christmas we want to say THANK YOU to all our key workers and their families for all they have done, and for the sacrifices they have made to keep us safe,” the caption stated.
After narrating the poem, royal experts questioned that why Prince William and Kate Middleton were not criticised like Meghan, who was slammed for similar efforts in the past.
Speaking on the latest Royal Rota podcast, hosts Chris Ship and Lizzie Robinson weighed in on the “inconsistencies” between the reactions towards the Cambridges and Sussexes.
“Some people said that they could make money out of doing narration since they did such a good job of it,” Chris began, referring to the Cambridges’ voiceover work.
“Funny enough it’s something that Meghan’s done before,” he added, referring to Meghan’s voiceover work on the Disney+ documentary Elephant.
“When Meghan was going to narrate stuff for Disney, everyone criticised her. When William and Kate narrated this video, they didn’t,” Chris said.
In April for a charitable work, Meghan lent her voice and after that she faced a harsh word and a lot of criticism.
At the time, The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw gave the film three-out-of-five stars, and described Meghan’s over-the-top narration as “schmaltz”.
“She takes to Disney-narration like an anthropomorphic duck to water,” Peter confessed.
One of the royal experts claimed that the reason the Cambridges have not been criticised is because they were thanking key workers… Although Meghan did do hers for charity.
