Harry and Meghan lacking ‘kindness’
EVER since their departure from the UK, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been at pains to teach us “empathy and kindness” in all that we do.
As the pandemic took hold, while staying in their Canadian waterfront mansion, the Duke and Duchess Sussex began preaching how we should treat one another.
Their sentiments were entirely noble, and I am sure equally wellmeaning.
When told how we should live our lives facing an uncertain future, blighted by illness and death, they made it clear it too would be “our guiding principle”.
But over the past year since their move to a $15million Californian home, and, none more so than in the last few days, it’s apparent it is one thing to preach, entirely another to practise.
Fresh on the heels of the news, they were to sit down for an “intimate”, tell-all chat to Oprah Winfrey, so “Meghan could have the final word” over their departure - the monarchy felt their remaining patronages were no longer compatible with the couple’s Stateside life.
Apparently, Her Majesty had been blindsided by her grandson and his wife’s plans to detonate a nuclear bomb on US TV.
And while the Queen was understanding, it was claimed other family members and senior royal aides were furious with the pair’s disrespect.
Her Majesty issued a statement confirming the patronages were to be removed but reminded everyone Harry and Meghan remained “muchloved members of the Royal Family”.
Within minutes – at 4.30am their time in California – they responded.
Their riposte, written in a language you’d expect from a testy teenager, failed to show any of the “empathy and kindness” they said we all needed to show. God forbid it showed any understanding of the situation they created after wanting out of public life to pursue their desire to make millions in the States from their royal titles.
“As evidenced by their work over the past year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain committed to their duty and service to the UK and around the world,” the couple said.
“We can all live a
Service is universal.”
God forbid it showed any understanding of the situation they created
life of service.
