Analyse the sources with any relevant gender theorist: Van Zoonan
Source A constructs a stereotypical image of a couple in the royal family. It does this as Harry and Meghan are rarely photographed or reported on separately. This could makes the audience believe the stereotype of men being in control of their partner as if Meghan can't be alone. Combined with the other factor of tabloids typically featuring an image of a woman to the right in order to catch the male gaze, the image of Meghan is enlarged and positioned to the right, still evoking men to look at her and pick up the paper. Van Zoonan argues that women media texts create stereotypes of genders which reinforce patriarchal standards. This supports what the paper has done by representing Meghan as a sexualised wife. Nothing more. However, it could be argued that this representation does not fit Van Zoonan's theory as it is more of a clean and respected image, rather than one which would attract the male gaze that are so often used.
Alternatively, Source B creates a mature and respected representation of Harry and Meghan. This is done by the image used. Both are seen well dressed, covered and doing no wrong. However, again the image is enlarged which puts Meghan in a much bigger position. This can do the same job as Source A in attracting the male gaze. This supports Van Zoonan's theory as she can still be sexualised. Along with the fact harry is leading Meghan. It supports a stereotype of couple, the man being in charge. Never the less, Markle is still covered and the story is based on the the of them, perhaps not supporting Van Zoonan's theory.
Ultimately, the differences in genres influence the values and representations constructed by the two papers. The Sun constructs a more sexualised female which reflects the ways of attracting the male demographic. Where as The Telegraph creates a more respected female view but the fact that men lead which appeals to the audience of the right wing paper (patriarchal and sexist readers).
