Amidst the ongoing whirlwind of public curiosity surrounding the British Royal Family, the focus has recently turned to the activities of Princess Catherine, while across the Atlantic, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are diving into their latest venture for Netflix subscribers.
Their current endeavor involves filming on location in sunny Florida. News of their recent stay in a luxurious hotel has caught attention, hinting at the lavishness of their project pursuits. This development follows closely on the heels of Deadline's revelation that the duo has committed to two additional non-fiction projects with Netflix, already in the works.
Having initially partnered with the streaming giant in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's collaboration yielded the acclaimed "Harry and Meghan" documentary series in 2022. Their upcoming projects promise to explore diverse themes, including a spotlight on the world of professional Polo, with filming predominantly set at the prestigious US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida. Notably, Prince Harry's recent participation in a charity match in Wellington likely served as inspiration for this latest project.
Following their charitable engagements, Meghan and Harry sought reprieve at the exclusive Four Seasons Hotel in Palm Beach. Reports suggest that suites at this opulent establishment fetch prices exceeding $888,000 per night. Allegations surfaced regarding the couple's reluctance to settle their substantial bill, which included expenses incurred by Meghan's use of the hotel's spa services, amounting to over $10,000. Despite this, they purportedly declined to pay, prompting the hotel management to involve Netflix's production crew to resolve the matter. Ultimately, Netflix footed the bill, though it remains uncertain whether this expense will factor into the production costs of the filmed projects.
Beyond their extravagant hotel stay, attention has turned to Meghan Markle's sartorial choices. Reports indicate substantial expenditures on attire, including a Heidi MK dress priced at $650, a Mason Valentino bag valued at approximately $2,650, and other luxury items. Such lavish spending has drawn critique, with some questioning the prioritization of brand names over style coherence. The scrutiny extends to Meghan's appearance, with comparisons drawn to Mick Jagger and reflections on her public persona versus her familial relationships.
In the wake of these developments, criticisms have emerged regarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's treatment of their respective families, contrasting sharply with their public advocacy for compassion and forgiveness. Commentators, such as BB News host Ben Leo, have pointedly highlighted what they perceive as hypocrisy, questioning the sincerity of the couple's humanitarian messaging in light of their strained familial ties. Leo emphasized the importance of leading by example and authenticity, suggesting that the couple's actions may undermine their professed values.
In light of these controversies, sentiments of disillusionment and estrangement from their homeland have emerged. Some observers suggest that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may find themselves unwelcome should they choose to return to England, echoing a sentiment of mutual disenchantment.
