Princess Kate and Prince William keep their private lives "fairly invisible" in "stark contrast" to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a PR expert has claimed.
The Prince and Princess of Wales topped the list of the most popular living royals this year in a YouGov poll, despite being criticised for their lack of public engagements.
A PR expert Luana Ribeira spoke exclusively to GB News to explain how the Waleses have maintained their popularity, despite heavy criticism from some fans.
She claimed: "Both William and Kate have a quiet dignity people admire.

"While the Sussexes could be said to have been washing their dirty linen in public, the Prince and Princess of Wales have provided a stark contrast and kept themselves out of any drama."
According to Ribeira, the Waleses have been inspired by a late member of the Royal Family.
The PR expert added: "Both William and Kate seem to follow in the steps of Queen Elizabeth II.
"They manage to walk the fine line between being very visible and hard-working when it comes to their public duties, while staying fairly invisible when it comes to their personal opinions and private lives."

Ribeira continued: "Their relative youth compared to King Charles helps too as they feel like a breath of fresh air in the Royal Family with their photogenic children and desire to support important causes."
The PR expert Andy Barr also spoke exclusively to GB News to explain William and Kate's popular appeal.
He noted: "William and Kate are the epitome of 'never complain, never explain' and I think the people recognise and acknowledge just how much flack and adversity they have faced over the last two years.

Barr also spoke about how Kate and William are popular from a body language perspective.
He explained: "They have never once complained and even the most cynical body language expert would say that they have always put their front foot forward and carried on about their daily business."
