**Meghan Markle’s Relationship with Paparazzi Under Scrutiny**
Photographer Giselle Paschottum, known for capturing moments of celebrities like Kristen Stewart, the Kardashians, and even the royal family, recently sparked speculation on whether Meghan Markle tips off the paparazzi now that she's married to Prince Harry.
During an interview on the Hollywood Raw podcast, Paschottum skillfully dodged the question with a mysterious “no comment,” leaving room for interpretation.
He intriguingly hinted, “You boys interpret that as you wish, but I can't say it's a categorical no and I can't say it's a definite yes.”
Delving into how his journey with the royals began, Paschottum shared a captivating story.
He disclosed that his involvement with Meghan and Harry started when they became an official couple.
Flying to Toronto just four days after the news broke, he recounted a memorable encounter with Meghan in a forest.
“The best set I took of Meghan was her going to a forest… she posed up for us,” Paschottum revealed.
Describing the moment, he mentioned how Meghan engaged with them, even offering a friendly fashion tip: “You need to stop wearing that trench coat because we're in Toronto, you need to wear a puffer jacket.”
In a surprising turn of events, reports from 2015 surfaced, suggesting that Meghan's PR team orchestrated paparazzi shots to boost her fame in the UK before meeting Prince Harry.
Allegedly, her former agent arranged staged photos of her entering London restaurants, strategically placing her in the spotlight.
Despite later criticizing the British press in a Netflix docuseries, Prince Harry had a previously amicable relationship with the media, as noted by veteran royal photographer Arthur Edwards.
Reflecting on his interactions with Prince Harry, Edwards reminisced about the prince's openness and camaraderie with the press.
He highlighted how Harry valued the platform the media provided for his charitable endeavors, such as the Invictus Games.
Edwards fondly recalled moments of bonding over drinks with Harry during royal tours, where ideas were exchanged freely, and laughter filled the air.
However, he expressed disappointment over the shift in dynamics after Meghan entered the picture, noting a stark change in Harry's demeanor towards the media.
Expressing concern for Prince Harry's well-being, Edwards observed a visible transformation in the prince's demeanor, noting a sense of unhappiness.
He lamented the loss of the once vibrant and engaging rapport Harry shared with the media, emphasizing the prince's ability to connect with people and discuss matters close to his heart without reservation.
The shift in Harry's relationship with the press post-Meghan left Edwards reflecting on the profound impact of their union on the prince's public persona, evoking a sense of nostalgia for the days of unbridled camaraderie and shared laughter.
