4. British media didn’t approve of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s business strategy as compared to Kate Middleton and Prince William’s.

5. The absence of The Queen from the christening ceremony of Archie was blown out of proportion when we all know that she had also skipped Prince Louis’ christening earlier.

6. The dressing was either “from drab to fab” or “true royalty to fashion royalty”; there was no in between.

7. From dubbing Kate’s bouquet as”effortlessly elegant and understated” to alleging that “deadly flowers” were used in Princess Charlotte’s crown; here’s a snippet from the Kate vs Meghan wedding coverage.

8. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “ditched” British stiff upper lip and their intentions were questioned. While Prince William “blasted” monarchy’s tradition speaking up against traditions which was covered quite favorably.
