The couple wanted to star in their own fairy tale, Megxit, and today they receive only two adjectives from all angles: scam and disappointment.
When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry of England arrived in their wedding attire in that iconic metallic blue Jaguar convertible to Frogmore House, their first marital residence, they dreamed that their heads were made of gold, their torsos were silver, their hips were bronze, and their legs were made of gold. They rose to the heavens without realizing that their feet were made of clay. Five and a half years after that idyllic image, the beautiful statue completely crumbles and the couple stains everything they step on.
Far from embodying a charming modernity within the "firm", the couple wanted to star in their own fairy tale, Megxit, and today it receives from all angles only two adjectives: scam and disappointment. The British Royal House already looked askance when they registered the name Sussex Royal as a trademark, in December 2019, with the British Intellectual Property Office. His plans, unheard of in the Royal Family, made more than one company salivate at what he could unleash commercially.
Only a few months later, after the dukes resigned from their monarchical obligations and retired, first to Canada and then to Montecito, California, Queen Elizabeth II ensured that they could not use the Sussex Royal brand. However, their ambitions continued forward and they exploited their own firm as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, which they later materialized under the name of the Archewell Foundation in reference to their first-born Archie Harrelson.
They signed up for easy success, they made their "unfortunate" life a way to achieve fame and money and they became avid consumers of fashion and trends, cultivating an exaggerated cult of their personalities. The iconography was perfect, but absolutely inharmonious with the ecological and humanitarian seal with which they wanted to stamp their public lives. Now that their relevance is beginning to be practically nil, no one is willing to let their behavior go unnoticed. And each of his steps is examined with a magnifying glass.
Commitment to the planet
Just a few weeks ago, Harry and Meghan Markle were surprised in New York City in a convoy of seven cars to make a journey of just seventy meters. The scene took place after the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were participating in a conference on mental health and used their safety as the pretext. It was just the latest theatricalization of the titanic fight they maintain against the paparazzi. Enough to break your supposed commitment to caring for the planet?
The media and citizens through their social networks criticize the hypocritical behavior of the couple, who declare themselves fervent defenders of the Earth. “Harry and Meghan no longer know how to exist,” headlined this week the magazine “Point de Vue” in an article that questions whether the private life of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex can be considered ecological and in line with the sensitivity, clearly in discredit, that they use. as a flag.
If we look at the headlines in these years of Californian adventure, their customs are far from preventing global warming or stopping toxic spills that poison the oceans. They are not specific whims. One day is a trip to Ibiza by private jet, another is a visit to Elton John on the French Riviera and the next is a weekend in the Caribbean town of Canouan.
Environmental groups cry out loud, especially when one of these getaways occurs after enjoying Formula 1, an event questioned from several environmental platforms. The recent image of the youngest of the sons of Charles III and the late Diana of Wales in the paddocks of the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, chatting animatedly with a television crew, sparked the comment that he did not seem to be bothered by the liters of gasoline that the engines burn. Her attitude, considered closer to "greenswashing", or false ecological consciousness, than to a serious moral commitment, constantly places her in the spotlight.
The behavior of the dukes is, therefore, erratic and the little interest they currently arouse has a lot to do with it. Of all the projects they lead, only the Invictus Games achieve some media relevance. Those who previously supported their claims have succumbed to a reality: the Sussexes are only viral when they speak, or rather speak badly, of the Windsors. The problem is that they have already told everything in exchange for multi-million dollar figures.
