Meghan Markle always aspired to become a 'superstar' and would never have been content with the 'quiet' life of a lesser royal, according to a royal commentator. Prince Harry and his wife initially sought a 'half-in, half-out' arrangement within the Royal Family, allowing them to support the late Queen while also pursuing independent careers. However, the Queen rejected this proposal, prompting the couple to relocate permanently to the United States.
Royal commentator Jane Barr, writing in the From Berkshire to Buckingham newsletter, argued that Meghan would not have been satisfied with a low-key lifestyle similar to that of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who hold regular jobs while occasionally attending royal events. Barr noted that Harry and William were preeminent royals from birth, unlike their cousins, whose royal status has diminished over time.
Meanwhile, a German documentary titled 'The Lost Prince' has accused the Sussexes of hypocrisy, highlighting their luxurious lifestyle despite their high-profile visits to impoverished nations. The film, produced by award-winning filmmaker Ulrike Grunewald, contrasts Meghan's penchant for expensive designer outfits with the socio-economic challenges of countries like Nigeria and Colombia. Mirror columnist Russell Myers commented that wearing tens of thousands of pounds worth of designer clothes to such nations sends the wrong message.
Former soldier Ben McBean, who lost his left arm and part of his right leg in an Afghanistan landmine blast, also criticised Prince Harry in the documentary. McBean expressed dismay over Harry's revelations about his family in his memoir 'Spare' and the Sussexes' Netflix series, stating, 'Family's family, you know.'
