Prince Harry and Meghan accused of ‘trying to buy public respect’

A royal expert has attacked Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for trying to buy the public’s respect through “networking” and “good PR”.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been blasted by a royal expert who claimed the couple are trying to buy the public’s respect through good PR and “collecting trophies for their mantle”.

The Duke of Sussex has been at the centre of discussions recently after he was criticised for being nominated for the prestigious Pat Tillman Award for Service at a ceremony in Hollywood this month, with even a petition being set up urging the awards organisers, ESPN, to rethink their decision.

Now a royal commentator has slammed the Montecito couple, saying that “collecting trophies” is part of their “game”, however, they stressed that “the public see through these decisions”.

Royal expert Kinsey Schofield told Talk TV: “I see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle accepting more trophies for awards that I don’t understand what they’re for, than this life of service that they promised us. How many awards did Meghan accept for her podcast that was cancelled and slammed by her own network?”

She added: “This is all a game to them [Harry and Meghan]. I guess they’re trying to buy the public’s respect, they’re trying to buy good PR through networking and creating these opportunities to collect trophies for their mantle, but I think the public sees through these individuals.”

Prince William’s Taylor Swift selfie proves one major thing about him and Princess Kate

The Prince of Wales’s selfie with Taylor Swift proves Prince William and Princess Kate are “triple-A celebs”, as a “new Royal Family” emerges, a royal expert has claimed.

William went viral on social media on Friday, June 21, after he was spotted attending the US superstar’s first concert at London’s Wembley Stadium on his birthday, joined by his two eldest children, Prince George, 10 and Princess Charlotte, nine.

Later, Travis and Jason talked on their podcast about how it was an “absolute delight” to meet the royals, with Travis stressing: “Obviously we’re backstage meeting him, he was there with little George and Charlotte. They were an absolute delight to meet. Wasn’t sure if I was supposed to bow to them, curtsy, be an American idiot and shake their hand.”

Now a royal expert touched down on how significant this meeting was for the Prince and Princess of Wales’s image.

Inside Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s huge cost to keep £12m mansion running

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s costly upkeep of their lavish home in Montecito, California, has been analysed by a real estate expert who described the property as similar to a “small boutique hotel”.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved into their dream mansion shortly after quitting the Royal Family and moving to the US in 2020.

Harry and Meghan’s Montecito luxury abode boasts a total of five acres of land, featuring nine bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a pool and a tennis court, as well as extensive gardens and its own chicken coop which the couple have named “Archie’s Chick Inn”.

Now a real estate expert has touched down on the running costs of the huge £12million home, claiming that it must cost thousands of pounds every year just to look after it.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle won’t be welcomed back as working royals ‘for key reason’

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not shown any interest in being working royals, but if that were to change, it would take a lot of work to win over the public.

It seems like things have quieted down when it comes to Spare and the six-part Netflix series – which led to their popularity plummeting in the UK – but there are still hurt feelings.

GB News presenter Cameron Walker talked about the possibility of Harry and Meghan making their return to the Royal Family as working royals and that it would go beyond King Charles because Harry and Meghan “consistently poll at the bottom.”

Prince Harry accused of ‘leaving a life of service to chase fame in Hollywood’

Prince Harry has been accused by one royal commentator of “leaving a life of service to chase fame in Hollywood”.

It comes as some people are furious over the Duke of Sussex’s recent award nomination for a prestigious award in the US.

Speaking on TalkTV, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield said: “This [Pat Tillman] was a man that truly lived a life of service which is what Harry and Megan promised us when they left the British Royal Family.

“In contrast, Harry left a life of service to chase fame, to chase money in Hollywood, so a lot of people are having a hard time putting these two men in the same category.”
