While the world is no doubt team “Megxit”, there appears to be some type of war going
on in the family and it’s all going down on the Gram!
Hey everyone!
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News and don’t worry Clevver isn’t going anywhere!
We are still going to be delivering you all the celebrity news that you need to know,
we are just going to be working from home and social distancing to do our part in preventing
the spread of Coronavirus.
So here’s the situation, rumors have been swirling about the possibility that Prince
William and Kate Middleton may have a few tricks up their sleeves when it comes to their
social media game!
As you may or may not know, tensions have been extremely high in the Royal family ever
since Prince Harry & Meghan Markle decided to formally leave their royal duties and jet
off to Canada to live happily ever after with baby Archie!
Thus coining this leave of royal absence “Megxit”!
The official account Sussex Royal made the announcement in early January writing, “After
many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year
in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.
We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially
independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.”
To Which the Queen replied, “Harry and Meghan and Archie will always be much loved members
of my family.
I recognize the challenges they have experienced as a result of intense scrutiny over the last
two years and support their wish for an independent life.”
Despite being stripped of their royal titles, they somehow still got to use the Instagram
handle @SussexRoyal
To which Prince William and Kate Middleton said…
nuh-uh… we are going to SLAY the social media game!
There’s a conspiracy theory swirling around that Prince William and Kate may have actually
bought their Instagram followers in order to have more followers than Harry and Meghan!
If you’ll recall around April of last year when both Meghan and Harry began to distance
themselves from the rest of the royal family they launched the Sussex Royal account where
they reached their one million followers rather quickly.
They’re now sitting at a pretty 11 million followers!
It became quite obvious that many would favor this account over the Kensington Royal account.
But who could blame everyone especially with Meghan and Harry’s adorable Archie content.
And while the New York Times closely monitored the follower count, it discloses that the
followers were pretty close to one another and then remained stagnant at 11.3 million.
Many are guessing that bots may be involved in the equation and whether or not the Kensington
Royal Instagram account was promoted on Instagram or not.
The Royal Family has “denied strenuously any suggestion that their social media teams
had manipulated follower numbers.”
Other reports suggest that Kate and Prince William have kicked their social media up
a notch to compete with their famous family members.
In one photo, the happy couple is seen sharing a laugh together in a special and candid moment.
However, in the past the couple is known to have been notoriously private with their personal
lives so photos like this have people questioning the intentions of the couple.
But, it’s not all Instagram wars and family drama over here as Kate & William are also
rolling up their sleeves to help do their part and assist with the ongoing pandemic
that is the Coronavirus.
According to Vanity Fair, they “want to help” and be there for the people in the
UK, which has seen more than 100 deaths from the virus so far.
Both Kate and William have been pretty busy lately, with Kate focusing on early childhood
development and William lending a helping hand to animal conservation.
But, in order to step-in they must first think about how to do so in a safe manner as they
run in close quarters with some pretty royal family members who are at risk of not surviving
the infection.
The Queen herself is 93 years old and her husband Prince Phillip is 98.
Both are currently living at the Windsor Castle for the foreseeable future and taking all
necessary precautions to try and protect themselves against COVID-19.
Meanwhile, both Meghan and Harry announced on Wednesday that they will use their Instagram
account to share breaking news about the virus and share it with their followers.
The post read, “These are uncertain times.
And now, more than ever, we need each other.
We need each other for truth, for support, and to feel less alone during a time that
can honestly feel quite scary.”
It continued “There are so many around the world who need support right now, who are
working tirelessly to respond to this crisis behind the scenes, on the frontline, or at
home.
Our willingness, as a people, to step up in the face of what we are all experiencing with
COVID-19 is awe-inspiring.
This moment is as true a testament there is to the human spirit.”
“We often speak of compassion.
All of our lives are in some way affected by this, uniting each of us globally.
How we approach each other and our communities with empathy and kindness is indisputably
important right now.”
Well, there you have it folks.
The Royal Family is gearing up and getting ready to do their part.

Meghan’s following?
