Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem to have finally moved on from stirring royal drama, but the stench of it still follows them, even to their newest ventures.
Meghan Markle announces new As Ever offerings and royal fans remind her of that time she disrespected the Queen with a mock curtsy for their Netflix show.
Prince Harry travels to Angola for charity, and people question where he hid his kindness when Prince Philip was hospitalized during his final days. The kindness was probably on the Oprah couch, but you get the drift.
The thing is, I’m sure Harry and Meghan would love to be washed of their past, but the question remains: is there’s a PR machine strong enough to accomplish that?
“An Awful Lot Has Been Said” By Prince Harry and Meghan Markle That Cannot Be Erased
When it comes to worming his way back into the public’s good graces, Sky News royal editor Rhiannon Mills thinks that a lot has happened that Harry frankly cannot take back.
“The biggest issue for Harry and Meghan, is that an awful lot has been said,” Mills noted during a recent conversation with Robert Jobson on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show.
“The whole family kind of went under the bus, really, in the documentaries and in Spare. And there are lots of things that they cannot erase in terms of what’s been said.”
Jobson agreed, further pointing out that Harry’s Angolo visit this month wasn’t near worthy enough to scratch the surface of the work Harry needs to put in to be redeemed in the public’s eyes.
Weighing in on the reception Harry received for his Angolo visit, Jobson said: “But the reality was that was a big deal then. It wasn’t a big deal this time around. So he’s not got the same draw that he had. He must know that. When you’ve trashed your family and monetised it.”
The reality is that, even though Princess Diana had authorized a biography on her life, titled ‘Her True Story,’ she did not monetize it, whereas Harry’s primary purpose for penning ‘Spare’ was for the monetary gain. If it happens to sting his family in all the wrong places, I’m assuming he’d see it as an added advantage.
