Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have recently faced scrutiny for allegedly keeping 95% of donations received from foreign aid meant for the Invictus Games during their visit to Nigeria.
Their trip, described as a quasi-royal tour, has ignited debates about their current status and role. Invited by Nigeria's highest-ranking military official, Christopher Muen, Meghan and Harry spent three days in the country.
In a discussion with host Nana Aua, Lee Cohen highlighted a critical point often misunderstood, especially among their American fan base. He asserted that Harry and Meghan have transitioned from royals to celebrities. Cohen commented on the couple's latest rebranding efforts and criticized Meghan's involvement in selling jam through a new lifestyle project, American Riviera Orchard. Cohen stated on GBN America, "They're grasping for any sort of lost status that they themselves chose to give up back in 2020. Now they've taken this opportunity to go on a quasi-royal tour, not representing any nation but themselves—their favorite subject."
According to information shared by Meghan's microphone on X, sourced from Lani of Barbados, there are claims that the couple uses their charity status to receive donations for Archewell from foreign aid during their visits to various countries, retaining 95% of these funds. This raises questions about their visits to countries like Jamaica and Canada and whether they intend to secure more foreign aid donations. It is speculated that they spend only 5% of the received funds within the donating country.
The existing law that allows charities to be based in Delaware, sponsored by Joe Biden during his tenure as senator, has faced criticism. Some argue that this law enables charity organizations to evade their fair share of taxes, while corporations receive criticism for not paying their fair share. Similar scrutiny should apply to charities. If intelligence services can substantiate these claims and present them to King Charles III, it may prompt actions such as suspending titles, removing titles, or issuing a press release to deter such practices.
King Charles III has been informed about multiple infringements and actions that contravene the Sandringham Summit agreement between Prince Harry, Meghan, and the late Queen. Doubts have been raised regarding the sustainability of the couple's chosen lifestyle. Harry has expressed discontent about going on tours, whereas Meghan only completed two tours before quitting. Some question how many countries would be willing to host them under their desired conditions. While a country might offer security during the visit and arrange access to a private airport, organizing several days of activities for individuals who don't represent official entities is questionable.
Harry has been sharply criticized as laughable by an outspoken commentator for a specific act during his trip to Nigeria. During the tour to promote the Invictus Games, Harry and Meghan are accused of behaving as if they were still working royals. Royal pundit Maureen Callahan lambasted Harry for standing at attention during the national anthem and appearing to inspect troops at the Nigerian Defense Headquarters in Abuja.
Callahan told GB News, "It's so laughable and further diminishes Harry in the eyes of the royals and the world. He's standing to attention as though he still holds his military honors and titles, as if he wasn't stripped of them when he left." Callahan suggested that Harry and Meghan appeared to be playing as though they are still royals, finding it peculiar considering they've spent the past four to five years telling us how terrible it was to be royals.
