Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might have hoped to learn when to step back and let others shine, but their relentless publicity campaign continues unabated.
Recent attempts to grab attention have been overshadowed by King Charles and Queen Camilla’s official visit to Australia. Reports from Australia indicate that the country has little interest in Harry and Meghan's ongoing media stunts. In fact, mainstream Australian media barely acknowledges their existence, focusing instead on King Charles and Queen Camilla. Harry and Meghan have been conspicuously absent from headlines, receiving only a brief mention in a tabloid, which was far from the glowing coverage they might have hoped for.
While King Charles faced some protests during his visit, these demonstrations were limited to a small group of disgruntled Brits who traveled overseas to make their voices heard. In contrast, the Australian media has been buzzing with excitement about Charles and Camilla’s first official public appearance. The reception has been overwhelmingly positive, showcasing the country's admiration for the royal couple. Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan’s latest PR efforts seem to have fallen flat. Australia’s public appears much more captivated by the official royals, leaving the Sussexes out of the conversation entirely.
One of the most memorable moments of the royal visit was the stunning visual spectacle of the Sydney Opera House illuminated in honor of King Charles. This breathtaking display highlighted not only the respect and admiration that Australians hold for their monarch but also underscored that Charles and Camilla are the true stars of the royal family. Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan, sitting in their plush California mansion, can only dream of commanding such public attention.
In an ironic twist, veteran royal photographer Arthur Edwards suggested in a public statement in Australia that Harry should consider returning to the royal fold. This remark likely did not sit well with Meghan, who has worked tirelessly to craft a narrative of victimhood. As she clings to this storyline, the world seems to be moving on without her. Harry's attempts to establish himself as a separate entity from the royal family seem to be losing momentum, leaving him perhaps wistful for the days when he was firmly part of the monarchy.
As the Australian public warmly embraces King Charles and Queen Camilla, the contrast between the two royal couples becomes even more apparent. Queen Camilla carries out her royal duties with grace and warmth, effortlessly connecting with the people she meets. In contrast, Meghan, known for her flair for drama, often comes across as self-absorbed, seemingly unable to share in the joy of others. Meghan's once-captivating behavior has grown tiresome, and the public appears increasingly indifferent to her actions. They’ve seen it all before, and it’s no longer garnering much interest or support.
The lack of enthusiasm for Harry and Meghan’s attempts to stay relevant is palpable. With King Charles’s deep and longstanding connection to Australia, it’s clear who holds the true affection of the populace. As the spotlight shines brightly on King Charles and Queen Camilla during their Australian tour, the fading relevance of Harry and Meghan becomes ever more evident. Perhaps it’s time for them to acknowledge that they cannot continue to try and upstage the real royals. The people of Australia have made their choice clear: they adore King Charles and Queen Camilla, while Harry and Meghan have become little more than a fleeting distraction.
