Antonio :
“They’re not doing enough to be genuinely benevolent.”
That’s what you said. What a sentence. What a throne to perch on, dispensing moral verdicts like a reluctant monarch of virtue. Because one must ask, by what measure? And measured against whom?
Respectfully, you don’t know what you’re talking about.
You’re judging from a screen, while Prince Harry and Meghan are on the ground, in places like Colombia and Nigeria not just waving, but asking what do you need, writing cheques, connecting donors, building partnerships.That’s real work. Not theatre. When the "working" Royals travel it cost millions to the visiting country.
Meanwhile, you hold them to a standard you don’t apply to others.
Where was this outrage for Prince Andrew? Where is it when institutions disappear from their own charities for years, yes, even Catherine, Princess of Wales faced criticism when a patronage said they hadn’t seen or heard from her. But Meghan? She must prove her “benevolence” on demand.
HRH Prince Michael of Kent, used his titles, gave paid speeches, also worked with charities.And I'll leave the Putin / Russia scandal out. Sarah did the same for years and she was divorced from Andrew. Zara Tindall and Mike have no titles but boy do they benefit from being a family member.
For nearly a decade, UK media has fed on Meghan, monetizing her image, her clothing, her very existence, down to the stitch and the seam. Entire industries built on her visibility. And now, now that she dares to reclaim even a fraction of that economy, you call it a "grift" Let’s be honest.
This isn’t about charity.
It’s about control.
Because when they show up quietly, it’s “not enough.”
When they’re visible, it’s “self-serving.”
So which is it?
Or is the truth simpler…
No version of them will ever satisfy you.
You accept whatever version of them the tabloid sells you but question their intentions. You think you're being balanced...far from the truth.
