Mary Madigan, a royal commentator for News.com.au, addressed the situation in her column, remarking that things have become quite uncomfortable for Prince Harry. Madigan pointed out that while the Sussexes were liberal in their use of the word "chase" to describe the incident, there are other issues at play.
According to Madigan, Harry has unintentionally caused a negative reaction and lost the goodwill previously extended to him and Meghan. She even joked that not even Kris Jenner could save them, although she added a playful caveat that perhaps Jenner still had some potential.
When Harry and Meghan announced their decision to step back from their roles as working royals in 2020, many people sympathized with their plight. Royal life is known to be harsh, traditional, and relentlessly public, and it was evident that Meghan was facing widespread racism.
Madigan expressed her belief that Harry is struggling to adapt to his non-royal status. She mentioned that Harry grew up in an environment where being a prince was enough; he didn't necessarily need to be funny, charming, clever, or talented. His sole responsibility was to fulfill his royal duties, and that was sufficient for the public to adore him.
However, now that he is no longer an active member of the royal family, there is a new expectation for Harry to bring more to the table. Madigan argued that he is failing to meet those expectations and, as a result, people are becoming increasingly frustrated with him.
After venting her thoughts in his memoir, Spare, Madigan concluded that Harry "isn't bringing anything to the table," and this sentiment is making everyone a bit weary of him.
In light of the public's response to their car chase statement, which was met with eye-rolling and skepticism, Madigan believes it exemplifies the growing weariness with what she playfully referred to as "Hollywood Harry."
