It doesn't matter to me how he was known or that his name was in lights. It doesn't matter to me if he's an eloquent speaker or not. It doesn't matter to me if he got paid for this or if he volunteered his time like other people did for this cause. What matters to me is that he gave of his time and his energy and himself to try and make a difference in a world that severely needs to reach everyone and get them vaccinated against Covid-19.
Harry, in this case, mattered. For that he's earned my respect. ?
That's what I think as well! I don#t mind that Meghan took Harry with her to her own home country - has she been the queen of California, everyone would expected that! Now they live on what they have - and in America, you get credit by banks and companies and get payed for what you represent and are, not for what you actually do. It seems being "the grandson of the current queen and the son of the future king "of England" is worth the big bucks.It was a bit shacky if they would get the right people to contact them and take them under contract at first, but I guess Oprah was realy, really helpful, so she got "that interview" with enough scandal in it to really introduce their side to the American public.
So now I believe they are pretty settled, they have good advisors, they'll stay afloat and even get really rich and the only thing is to convince Willam, that it is okay what they do because they are living now in a different country with different rules.
My idea would be to tell William that this was they way their mother would have gone to be able to afford the life and the security adequate to her international position without the British taxpayer covering for that. Diana would have been forced to go the same way because she simply did not have the big money to support her private life when she was so famed internationally. And my guess is that she would have taken Harry with her anyway, because he is "just the spare" in a world where there is really only one place at court and that's for the heir, the heir's heir and that line's offspring.
It is sad for some people but we live in a time where we have a very quiet first layer of the money society and then we have a very present first layer of the "normal" society. I bet noone of that money-rich people fears anything on inviting Meghan and Harry as representators of the "other top" people to their home. Different from queen Mary, Meghan and Harry will not expect to be given the stuff they admire and they won't steal either. They might allow these ultra-rich people to give them money for their charities, but that's the prize to pay for their presence.
I understand that a life like Meghan & Harry can have will annoy a lot of people who only accept the Royals as long as they work and have not much fun. I personally think Charles and William have a lot of personal fun, though Harry thinks different and should know better.
But I believe in today's world, especially since "ideas" like creating software can make you super rich when in former time you needed stuff like actual gold or jewels or trade contracts etc. Harry and Meghan as the "spare" and his wife have a right to fish as much money from the ultra riches for giving them connection to what these ultras miss out on, which is really being based in this earth's society.
It's how it is today - and as much as you wish that without Charles' money and security payed by the British taxpayer, they will have to live simple life. But no, they don't. Harry may appear as "Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex" and that is only using his real name, not his Royal titles and the ultra rich people will pay for him. (Just like other ultra rich guys payed for "HRH The Duke of York", but let's not talk where these guys got their money from and don't look too closely at where the money Harry will get comes from.)
Just to put my thesis back into one sentence: Harry's birth to "this" Royal couple made sure he will never loose his appeal. And if he wants to market that, he will be sucessful. And if you don't like that, there are many ultra rich people who are only happy that such a intensive sparkler came to their market and they will buy because they buy the real deal!
