Surprisingly, it only costs $300 to register, and this was the prize that the Sussexes sought. However, their attempt at claiming the award led Hilary Roser to mock them, labeling them as cheap individuals desperately striving for recognition without substantial wealth or fame.
In other news, there is a Netflix documentary by Harriet Markle that has been nominated for a non-fiction award. This nomination comes in the absence of eight other entries in the "Recollections May Vary" category. The organizers of the esteemed Hollywood Critics Awards found themselves in a quandary, as Harry and Meghan's documentary falls under the streaming non-fiction category.
Competing against entries like "Prehistoric Planet 2 Renovations," "The 1619 Project," "The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levi and Rayne Wilson," and "The Geography of Bliss," it remains to be seen whether the Sussexes' truth will prove as inspiring as the others.
It's worth noting the similarity between "The Geography of Bliss" and Megan's signature style of conversation, possibly a topic she would have covered in her podcast if it had been renewed. Alas, it was not meant to be. Nonetheless, the nomination of Harriet Megan's documentary serves as a happy side effect for the award ceremony organizers, as it garners attention for their event.
Unfortunately, the couple's recent description as "grifters" has tainted their reputation, despite receiving numerous awards ranging from mental health advocacy to feminism, racial justice, gender equity, and even the Ripple of Hope award for their supposed unwavering commitment to social change, equity, justice, and human rights. However, these accolades seem to overlook the strained relationship between Meghan and her father, as his right to see his grandchildren remains uncertain.
Let us recall December 2022 when the truth according to Harry and Megan premiered on Netflix, complementing their previous revelations during interviews with Oprah and in Harry's book. In their brave pursuit of social justice and acceptance of Netflix's lucrative deal, they enlightened us about the cramped conditions in their cottage at Kensington Palace and Prince William's alleged temper. They also painted their love story as a modern-day fairy tale, a notion Megan fervently promotes as an irrefutable truth. Any doubts raised are met with strong denials, particularly regarding the defamatory lies surrounding the bullying allegations against them.
The couple's journey showcased their exceptional ability to foster friendships with strangers, highlighted by their experiences of being lent a house by an unknown friend and Harry's claim of being gifted a private jet by another "amazing" yet unfamiliar friend. Through six inspirational episodes, they whined, complained, and shed tears, urging the nation to repent for its perceived cruelty while also expecting admiration for the sight of a hummingbird on Harry's porch—although it may have been featured in his book, as the details often merge together.
Harry and Meghan positioned themselves as titans of humanitarianism, with rumors suggesting that their impending visit to South Africa will bring joy and blessings to the entire nation. According to the Sunday Mirror, Netflix plans to capture their interactions with various communities across the country. Harry appears eager to share medical information, while Megan seeks to raise awareness about safe birthing practices based on her own experience at the private Portland Hospital in London. Undoubtedly, the township women will rejoice at the prospect of experiencing a room service menu, as it adds a touch of sweetness to their lives.
Recalling their last visit to South Africa as working royals, Harry and Meghan concluded the tour with a televised interview. Megan, sporting a smokey eye and a quivering lip, subtly hinted at her struggles, prompting the famous question: "Are you okay?" (Spoiler alert: She was not.)
The committee responsible for the Critics Awards is set to commence voting on July 18th, although the actual ceremony date remains unknown. Will Harry and Meghan attend? Will their presence be accompanied by a thrilling non-fictional car chase? Can they go a day without uttering the word "humanitarian"? And, most importantly, does Harry know how to spell it? These questions linger, and the truthful answers depend on whom you ask. Over to you, Harry and Meghan.
