Tom Bower has vocally expressed his strong disapproval of Meghan Markle's alleged misuse of her HRH title during her recent tour in Nigeria.
Bower's critique delves into what he perceives as the couple's self-serving behavior, spotlighting their exploitation of Royal connections for personal gain. This viewpoint finds resonance among those who believe that Megan and Harry are leveraging their humanitarian endeavors as a mere facade for self-promotion and financial profit.
Contrary to the mainstream media's tendency to sidestep such discourse, critics like Bower aim to illuminate the truth that the so-called Sussex Squad endeavors to suppress. Critics argued that Megan and Harry once again wielded their HRH titles to garner undeserved attention. Megan's statement about seeing herself in all Nigerians drew ire as some perceived it as diminishing the struggles of those genuinely facing poverty, compared to her privileged upbringing in Los Angeles.
Bower contends that this Nigerian escapade was yet another instance of the couple snubbing and humiliating the British royal family, showcasing their penchant for making everything about themselves at the institution's expense. Furthermore, Bower questions the integrity of their foundation, citing concerns about its financial transparency and the relatively modest amount of philanthropic capital allocated. He suggests that their actions stem more from calculated branding decisions than a genuine desire to effect meaningful change.
The couple's perceived arrogance and lack of substantial accomplishments beyond their royal status have drawn widespread criticism. While Megan, born into a life of privilege, gained recognition primarily through her acting career, Harry's royal lineage has often overshadowed any personal achievements. Yet, they've successfully rebranded themselves as champions of the voiceless, despite their immense wealth and comfort. Their disregard and disrespect for the monarchy that propelled them to international stardom trouble their critics deeply. Bower refers to them as casualties of their own greed and toxicity, continuously denigrating the royal family to maintain their PR relevance.
Their Netflix series, which criticized the Commonwealth, followed by their engagement with Commonwealth nations like Nigeria, has raised eyebrows. Bower expresses relief that Prince Charles distanced himself from Harry during his recent visit to the UK, suggesting Harry may have exploited the opportunity for personal gain. Megan's failure to acknowledge or pay homage to her ancestral nation, coupled with her apparent lack of remorse for disrespecting the institutions she once belonged to, has further fueled criticism. Many perceive their actions as shameless and predictable, driven solely by their desire for short-term financial gain and public attention.
Critics argue that Prince Harry and Megan Markle, lacking significant personal achievements or contributions to society, rely on their royal connections and titles to maintain relevance. They perceive them as opportunistic grifters willing to compromise loyalty, duty, and decency to secure their own financial interests.
