I could not agree more with you. It is a pity that H&M could not draw satisfaction from the good work they were starting to do (he had been doing so for some time already), and instead seemed to care far more about what the tabloids had to say.
Also, given how short Meghan's royal career was (married May 2018, effectively disappeared in October 2019 never to really return, time off for maternity leave in between), it is easy to come to the conclusion that she really did not give the royal life a fair chance.
I can't help but feel that, perhaps, that the draw of the glitz and the glamor and maybe even the sensation that Meghan was entering a world where she would be entitled and "above" most in social status may have raised her expectations of what the life would be like marrying Harry.
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that the deciding point for Meghan was that she sincerely was and is in love with Harry but she was entering into a world she had absolutely no idea about and then the problems started. Their only recourse was to leave and start over again in the US. The bigger problem resulting from that was they they felt their status, their importance, their popularity and the general feeling of being "above" the public domain didn't do them any favors. High hopes of being influencers. High hopes of being as big of a draw in California as they were as working royals. High hopes of a whole lot of things but I do think ego got in the way and with setting out to "correct" what tabloids say or what wrongs they perceived were done to them by Harry's family and feeling that they really needed to let their public know how wronged they've been, they've basically inserted themselves into far more drama then they've ever experienced before.
The Oprah interview was the first big mistake. Not only did they trash to the curb the institution of the UK monarchy but also the people that represent that monarchy. They effectively gave the United Kingdom the big old Bronx cheer. What did they expect from the UK press. Accolades and laurel wreaths for being wonderful? That interview basically did put targets on their backs and any semblance of respect the UK media may have had for them, disappeared. They've been digging themselves into a bigger hole ever since.
Instead of forging ahead with good works, promoting their foundation, getting some good content out via Netflix or whatever other contracts they have, it's been one, long continuous drama of being picked on, disrespected, slandered, libeled and with needing to get their "truths" out there, I have to think they've become tabloid fodder even more because of their actions and their words.
When you're playing the game and painting yourself as the victims crying out how wrong the world has done you and placing blame on everyone and anything else, how can you ever expect to be taken seriously as someone that is there to help and assist with compassion and kindness? Basically, the Sussexes have been sending a wrong message out and in the long run, I think it's going to hamper their road forward.
I'm really curious to know why we haven't heard of any incentives, projects in the works, or basically anything from Archewell. I would have though that by now, the foundation would be geared up enough that it would have started to be more in the limelight than it has been. I can't remember the last time saw an article on Archewell. But then again, perhaps I'm not searching for it either. ?
