Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently made an appearance at a disaster zone, sparking widespread criticism.
Many questioned how they managed to gain VIP access while actual homeowners were reportedly unable to access their properties. This apparent privilege has left people baffled, leading to heated discussions online. Even more surprising is the response from TMZ, a platform that previously maintained a favorable stance toward Meghan. Now, it seems even they have grown critical, labeling this visit as a publicity stunt. The backlash has been significant, underscoring a shift in public perception of the Sussexes.
The situation escalated when I posed a simple question regarding Archie's alleged donation to flood victims. My intention was to encourage others to match the amount, similar to Reese Witherspoon, who publicly donated $5 million, or Paris Hilton, who contributed $2 million. Instead of receiving a straightforward response, the Sussex Squad reacted with hostility. They misconstrued my question, accusing me of making baseless attacks and spreading false claims. This defensive behavior raises concerns about transparency, especially when contrasted with the openness exhibited by other public figures in similar circumstances.
The difference between Meghan and Harry's approach and that of working Royals like Prince William and Princess Catherine could not be more evident. When William and Catherine make charitable visits, they come prepared with tangible support and clear objectives. Their actions reflect a commitment to serving and leading by example. In contrast, Meghan and Harry’s appearances often seem focused on optics rather than genuine impact. If a mother with young children visits a disaster zone, the priority should be helping those in need—not using the moment for a photo opportunity.
Hollywood’s apparent shift in attitude toward Meghan is particularly intriguing. TMZ’s criticism suggests a broader change in how the couple is perceived in entertainment circles. This shift is significant, especially considering the warm reception Meghan and Harry once enjoyed in Hollywood. The same industry that once embraced them now appears to be distancing itself, perhaps seeing patterns of behavior that others have long pointed out.
Looking back, the dignity and grace with which King Charles and Queen Camilla handled the coronation serve as a stark contrast. Despite familial tensions, they maintained focus on their duties and upheld the monarchy’s traditions. Meanwhile, Meghan and Harry's actions often appear erratic, reinforcing a narrative of attention-seeking behavior. Their trajectory from respected public figures to polarizing celebrities has been swift and, for many, disheartening.
As someone who has covered the royal family for years, I’ve observed this evolution with both interest and sadness. Prince Harry, once beloved for his dedication to his country, now finds himself embroiled in controversies that undermine his public image. Appearing at disaster zones for seemingly self-serving reasons has struck a nerve with the public. The outcry from viewers and readers has been overwhelming, with many sharing similar sentiments about how this latest incident crosses a line.
Demanding special access to disaster zones while victims are excluded is not just tone-deaf—it’s profoundly troubling. The contrast between the steady, dignified efforts of the working Royals and the Sussexes’ approach could not be clearer. It is no surprise that the British public continues to rally behind the traditional Royals, whose actions consistently reflect genuine care and commitment to their roles.
