According to royal insiders, the Montecito-based couple have introduced what has been described as a surprising new “rule” regarding images captured of them at public and private events.
Sources claim Harry and Meghan have become increasingly “obsessed with image control,” a concern that has allegedly grown stronger due to the Duke of Sussex’s thinning hair.
On Monday, a source close to the couple told celebrity reporter Rob Shuter that the 41-year-old prince’s “bald spot” has become a particularly sensitive topic, especially for Meghan.
While Harry is said to make light of his hair loss among friends, insiders allege Meghan takes a much more serious approach, insisting that every image of her husband is carefully reviewed before it is released to ensure his thinning patch cannot be seen.
“They’re obsessed with image control. Every photographer, every magazine, every event,” a source told Shuter.
“It’s not about artistic direction… it’s about Harry’s hair, or what little is left.”
Behind-the-Scenes Disputes
Another source claimed the Sussexes’ representatives have even gone “head-to-head with event organisers and editors” over which photos are approved for publication.
