Meghan Markle has just been blasted once more for her lack of proprietary, and bid to constantly seek the next paycheck allegedly.
The host of the YouTube series Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, Kinsey Schofield recently sat down with Fox News Digital and spoke about the ways Meghan is cutting corners and making moves that look bad, in terms of optics, even though much of it hasn’t been a ‘formal’ breaking of rules.
For those unversed with the ‘rules’ in question they all relate to her use of her Sussex title which, was not a well known ban on using, as was her HRH (Her Royal Highness) title which the couple agreed to stop using after they left the Firm in 2020.
However, her being introduced as the Duchess of Sussex during her chat with Harper’s Bazaar, at the time when she was visiting a friend in the Upper East Side, has still been called an inappropriate move.
“Meghan spoke to the publication to promote her business ventures, blurring the lines of appropriate title use,” the US based royal expert began by saying.
Reason being “Even if no formal rule was broken, the optics are poor — especially given the tightrope the Sussexes agreed to walk after stepping back from royal life.”
In Ms Schofield’s eyes, “Harry and Meghan aren’t supposed to use their titles for profit, but they obviously do.”
Especially considering the fact that “Harry is being paid for an appearance at a Hilton in Toronto next month — not for his real estate expertise.”
She also pointed out how “these are the types of incidents the royal family hoped to avoid when rejecting the couple’s half-in, half-out proposal. Anything resembling cash for access or commercial endorsement threatens the monarchy’s credibility.” After all “the institution must appear selfless and community-focused to maintain public trust.”
But as the son and daughter-in-law of the current monarch, “By contrast, Harry and Meghan often come across as unusually self-focused, eager to attach themselves to any opportunity that elevates their profile.”
And things like this “creates a jarring juxtaposition,” Ms Schofield said in her concluding remarks. “Their behavior continues to strain ties with the royal family, which has no interest in being linked to the Sussexes’ business ventures. The more Meghan and Harry blur the line between royal status and commercial ambition, the greater the distance the institution will put between them.”
