Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have recently faced criticism for what some perceive as strategic attention-seeking actions. Critics have pointed out that the couple often times their public announcements to coincide with significant moments involving the Royal Family, leading to speculation about their motives.
Since their departure from the Royal Family in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan have settled in California with their son, Prince Archie, and later welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet. Their move was marked by explosive revelations during a televised interview where they accused members of the Royal Family of racial insensitivity towards their son, among other grievances.
Royal expert Jennie Bond told OK!: “I can’t honestly imagine that they are sitting there scheming to make announcements on the same day as a royal event. Surely they are bigger than that?
“It’s true that there have been some rather strange coincidences in the past about the timing of some of their announcements. “But I think they are becoming less and less relevant to the news over here, and the Royal Family will command the attention every time.”
The timing of their various public statements and projects has consistently aligned with important events or announcements from the Royal Family, prompting accusations of the couple attempting to stay relevant by drawing attention during these moments.
This pattern of behavior has led to increased scrutiny of Harry and Meghan’s actions, with critics urging them to find more appropriate ways to maintain their public presence without overshadowing family milestones. The discussion continues as observers watch to see how the Duke and Duchess will navigate their roles and relationships in the public eye, both as former senior royals and as international celebrities based in the United States.
