Prince Harry has recently faced criticism from experts who accuse him of being out of touch with the current socioeconomic climate and the growing sentiment of "eating the rich."
One of those expressing such views is Arwa Mahdawi, a writer for The Guardian. Mahdawi shares her thoughts on the matter, admitting that she initially sympathized with the couple as an anti-royalist. However, she believes that their constant oversharing has become excessive and has lost its impact.
Mahdawi suggests that the couple's grievances appear to be less about systemic inequality and more about their perception of not receiving a substantial portion of the privileged life they were born into.
She finds it contradictory that they criticize the backwardness of the royal family while insisting on retaining their titles as Duke and Duchess. To gain credibility, Mahdawi boldly proposes that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should renounce their titles.
In the midst of her article, Mahdawi offers unsolicited advice to the Duke and Duchess, urging them to be more aware of the socioeconomic climate. She points out that the prevalence of storylines centered around "eating the rich" on current television shows, such as Netflix's "You," "The White Lotus," and "Succession," is no mere coincidence.
According to Mahdawi, these storylines tend to reflect the economic climate: during prosperous times, they may serve as enjoyable escapism, while during challenging times, they become more of a means to express disdain.
Given the current economic hardships faced by many, Mahdawi suggests that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should recognize the prevailing sentiment and adapt their behavior accordingly. She concludes her piece by emphasizing the need to acknowledge the challenging times the world is going through, where even purchasing basic necessities can feel financially burdensome.
