Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly eager to regain public approval. Royal expert Kinsey Schofield shared her insights on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex during an interview with Talk TV, highlighting his efforts to improve his public image.
Schofield’s comments come amid a recent backlash against the couple. However, their involvement in charitable initiatives continues to generate support. For example, ESPN recently launched a statement defending its decision to honour Prince Harry for his work with the Invictus Games Foundation.
In that conversation, Ms Schofield pointed out the surprise factor for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: “I see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle accepting more trophies for awards that I don’t understand what they’re for.”
“I guess they’re trying to buy the respect of the public, they’re trying to buy good PR through networking and creating these opportunities to collect trophies for their mantle, but I think the public sees right through these individuals.”
According The charge“While we understand that not everyone will agree with every honoree selected for any award, the Invictus Games Foundation does incredible work and ESPN believes this is a cause worth celebrating.”
“ESPN, with support from the Tillman Foundation“The Invictus Games Foundation pays tribute to Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, specifically for the work of the Invictus Games Foundation, which is celebrating its 10th year of promoting healing through the power of sport for military service members and veterans around the world,” the statement read.
The Invictus GamesFounded by Prince Harry in 2014, it has played a major role in supporting wounded, injured and sick servicemen through sport. This initiative has been a cornerstone of Harry’s public service and has generated positive attention for his efforts despite the controversies surrounding his exit from royal duties alongside Meghan.
Schofield noted that the couple’s dedication to their causes, such as the Invictus Games, demonstrates their genuine desire to make a difference. This focus on meaningful work is a strategic move to rebuild their reputation and connect with the public on important issues.
Since stepping down as senior royals, Harry and Meghan have faced both criticism and praise for their decisions. Their commitment to various philanthropic initiatives, including advocacy for mental health and environmental issues, has been central to their public image.
