I'm in agreement with many of the recent posts. What are Meghan and Harry actually doing these days? I listened to Harry's virtual opening remarks at the recent Travelyst virtual symposium. How is promoting echo travel in our covid laden world of lockdowns and border closures working out? One of their sponsors Bookings.com is struggling financially as is the entire travel industry. It all seemed great before covid. Ok, so that's not working out.
I reflect back to their first days as Duke and Duchess, they seemed to be everywhere, doing what the British royals are experts at, good works, supporting charities, putting a face to important social causes that otherwise would not see the light of day. And they seemed to be really good at it. But that didn't seem to be enough and well, not everyone loved and adored them it seems and the royal family didn't seem to really be supporting them enough. How old are they? Old enough to know better but they didn't, apparently. But on the opposite side of the coin they must have thought they were loved enough by someone they could dump the family and market their royalness to their fans that were adoring them when they were working royals.
While as working royals these two got a little too big for their britches. Well, now look, isolated, living in LA a hotbed of covid, in someone elses home, without support, ok, still being supported by Charles. Their legal battles certainly aren't helping them. I kinda feel a tiny bit bad for them, but then I don't. They got a little too big for their britches as my mother would say and their combined hubris of entitlement plus the timing of covid have put them currently not really thriving. It's never too late to grow up.
Late entry: Just saw the Prince Harry article in Fast Company, well done! I think the Sussexes may well be headed in the right direction after having some stumbles, we'll have to see.
