Prince Harry and Meghan Markle complain of the intense media scrutiny they experience in the U.K. They even began a media war when they sued British publications last year. As they tried to escape the British media for its negative news about them, it seemed like American media would be their new enemy.
The U.S. press now turned their attention to the royal couple. As the Sussexes are known for their environmental efforts, the New York Post journalist Maureen Callahan contradicted the Duke of Sussex's speech at the recent summit for JP Morgan Chase.
According to Express, Callahan slammed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for being "freeloaders" who were trying to cash in on their royal identity. She also criticized their lifestyles for not living up to their environmental promises.
She claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are now "out on the stroll, selling their goods and services to the highest bidder" after they left the monarchy. She added that they did all these after they declared their suffering as "wealthy, pampered, world-famous senior royals."
Callahan continuously mocked them, saying they felt so unbearable of their situation that they must take a long leave. She went on to say that they went to Canada to have some "privacy, humility, a slower way of life, time to think about which environmental causes to support while flying private aircraft, and to create normalcy for themselves and their baby, Archie."
The reporter also mentioned that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were still on the royal payroll, probably, until May. After that, Prince Charles promised to support them. Hence, she called them freeloaders, adding that they were staying at a $14-million Vancouver mansion, which David Foster brokered, and at Serena Williams' Palm Beach resort during a trip to Florida.
Callahan also noticed how Prince Harry complained of the negative press coverage that plagued his mother that cost her her life and had a lasting impact on him. However, for the right price, he would gladly talk about his emotional chaos in a talk with global powerbrokers as his audience.
It was the same thing that Piers Morgan wrote on his Daily Mail article. He said there was a big difference between talking about Princess Diana's death to raise public awareness and doing it privately for a hefty amount in front of "super-rich bankers, business tycoons, politicians, and celebrities." As he found that Prince Harry was exploiting his mother's death to earn huge money, he accused him of behaving like the British media he despised.
