Meghan Markle has been criticised for living a life similar to that of a prom queen married to a prom king. These criticisms were voiced by Charlotte Griffiths during her appearance on the television show Palace Confidential Podcast.
Griffiths commented“I get the impression that life for Meghan Markle right now is kind of like a prom event and[Harry]is the prom king and she’s the prom queen and she’s organizing all these events over the years that they can attend together.”
He added that at the Living Legends of Aviation event, Meghan did not accompany Harry due to a controversy that arose before the event. “Although at the Living Legends of Aviation event, she actually didn’t appear with him because there had been a similar controversy before the event and then she didn’t accompany him.”
Griffiths also speculated on Meghan’s future appearances, saying: “I’ll be very interested to see if she goes with him next week. Serena Williams, her great friend, is presenting the award so it’s quite possible she’ll be there.”
Griffiths concluded his remarks with a criticism of the couple’s public approach, saying: “Life is not a red carpet event for them to show off their brand, there are some very serious events out there and they are being ignored.”
These comments highlight the constant scrutiny the Duke and Duchess of Sussex face in their management of their roles and public appearances. Critics argue that their lifestyle and PR strategies are out of step with the gravity of certain events they are involved in, adding to the challenges the couple face in managing their public image.
