Queen Elizabeth issues massive petition over photo of Lillibet and warns Meghan Markle not to win 'PR chess match'
Queen Elizabeth has been urged by royal experts and commentators not to let Meghan Markle win a "PR chess match" and to release photos of Lillibet first.
This observation was made by royal expert Daniela Elser in her new piece from News.com.au.
She wrote, "I have to say, just in getting back to the UK together, Harry and Meghan's presence was always somewhat of a distraction, so why not use it to the benefit of Buckingham Palace?"
"I think the courtiers and colleagues really missed a trick here," she also pointed out.
"Imagine if we had seen this picture of the Queen and Lillee - it would have been a mighty checkmate from Her Majesty in a PR chess match, seemingly intended to play with Sussex Palace."
