GB News Journalist Calls Prince Harry and Meghan’s Middle East Tour “Offensive”

It took only a few days after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to snatch the headlines again. I’m talking about their over 7,500 miles to Amman to visit refugee camps and rehabilitation centers.

There’s been a lot of dissecting going on about that little trip that it could write a whole book. First, they let us know King Charles was aware of the visit. Then they supposedly “ambushed” UK ambassador Phillip Hall to make it look like The Monarchy was on their side.

However, it’s been a bit of a downhill from there, and that’s not counting being snubbed by Jordan royals, being called out for “false narratives” they spread, or even the UK government openly distancing themselves from the trip.

If the trip reads failure, that’s probably because that’s how a majority of people see it. But for US columnist Lee Cohen, it also reads Harry and Meghan’s “new heights of offensiveness.”

US Columnist Questions Prince Harry and Meghan’s Faux Royal Tour After They Abandoned Royal Family To Live As Private Citizens

Writing for the GB News, Lee Cohen shared his scathing thoughts about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Middle East tour.

Cohen wrote: “At a time when the Monarchy faces serious reputational pressure, the last thing the Royal Family needs are two royal turncoats jetting to the volatile Middle East, exploiting titles they have abandoned in spirit but cling to in practice, and staging a parallel court for relevance and personal glorification.”

Noting that they abandoned “duty,” “service,” and “obligation,” he continued: “What they did not abandon are the trappings of rank — the inherited symbols that continue to give weight to their vanity projects. In Jordan last week, this became painfully obvious: two private influencers, without office or mandate, carrying themselves as though officially sanctioned to operate abroad, trading on princely styling while producing nothing of institutional significance.”

While Cohen acknowledged that the trip was taken on the invitation of World Health Organization and involved refugees and sick people, he also insisted that it was mostly optics with no real substance.

He continued, writing: “The Sussex production line of “compassion under cameras” — the same optics they once derided as suffocating constraints — now replicates shamelessly for self-aggrandisement.”
