Meghan Markle <\/strong>is steering her own ship.<\/p>\n According to royal expert Jennie Bond<\/strong>, the Duchess of Sussex\u2019s more frequent Instagram updates are a way for her to hone her own narrative.<\/p>\n \u201cI suppose this is another example of Meghan taking control of her own publicity, and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that,\u201d the commentator told The Mirror<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt feeds into her business plans and her brand,\u201d Bond noted.<\/p>\n In celebration of their eighth wedding anniversary, Meghan shared multiple never-before-seen pictures from her and Prince Harry<\/a><\/strong>\u2018s big day on May 19, 2018.<\/p>\n Throughout the numerous snaps in the two updates, there weren\u2019t any shots of the pair with the royal family.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think we should draw any conclusions about the state of their relationship from the fact that they are not included in the pictures,\u201d Bond said.<\/p>\n While the lack of photos of the family might not be telling, journalist Rob Shuter<\/strong> claimed Meghan and Harry didn\u2019t receive any messages from their relatives across the pond for the major milestone.<\/p>\n \u201cThe silence was very intentional,\u201d an insider told the reporter\u2019s Naughty But Nice<\/a><\/em> Substack.<\/p>\n \u201cThere was no phone call, no private message, no peace offering \u2014 absolutely nothing,\u201d the source claimed.<\/p>\n Despite any drama with The Firm, body language expert Darren Stanton <\/strong>pointed out how happy the duo looked in the newly released snaps.<\/p>\n
