Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been criticised for preaching something that they themselves are not keen on following.
Royal expert, Angela Levin, commented on the Sussexes’ recent announcement about the charity that they have been working for.
On Friday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced that they are supporting a new charity through their Archewell Foundation, which they set up in 2020.
The royal couple announced that they funded a resource guide on positive masculinity for Equimundo, which reached 3,673 people in 122 countries. The charity which was set with an aim “to engage men and boys as allies in gender equality.”
Equimundo’s State of the World’s Fathers 2023 report talked about the importance of “normalising men’s caregiving roles.”
Levin, while speaking to GB News, talked about their new charity on the ‘importance of fathers.’
“[Harry and Meghan] are joining a new charity which talks all about the importance of fathers, this is again a sign of their joint hypocrisy because neither of them have anything to do with their fathers at the moment.”
Prince Harry has been estranged from his father, King Charles since he stepped down as a senior royal in 2020 along with his wife Meghan.
The royal has written a detailed account of his troubled relationship with his father in his memoir, Spare, in which he shared incidents from his childhood. While the royal had attended the Coronation ceremony in May of this year, Harry did not interact with his father during his trip.
Moreover, the royal has not met with his father in more than year, despite his many trips to the UK concerning his legal cases pending in the London High Court.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle has been estranged from her father, Thomas Markle, since before her wedding in 2018. During her famous royal nuptials, her father was not invited to attend.
