As The Beano celebrates its 85th anniversary in grand style, one glaring omission has caught the world's attention – the absence of Meghan and Harry.
Instead, we see Prince William and Princess Kate gracing the pages alongside other celebrities like Dua Lipa, Lewis Capaldi, Man U footballer Marcus Rashford, and YouTube sensation KSI. The question on everyone's mind is: where are Meghan and Harry?
Some might brush this off as a harmless oversight, but let's not be naive. The decision to exclude the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from this milestone edition speaks volumes about their current standing with the public. It's no secret that Meghan and Harry have been making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately, from their controversial Netflix deal to the troubles with Meghan's Spotify podcast. The couple is no stranger to scrutiny.
Financial issues have also been a topic of concern. Reports suggest that Meghan and Harry are facing a financial crisis, struggling to fund their lavish lifestyle in the glitzy world of Hollywood. Could this be a reason why The Beano decided to pass them over – to highlight their detachment from the real struggles of childhood?
The Beano prides itself on celebrating the joy of childhood, showing kids being kids. But where do Meghan and Harry fit into this narrative? Are they still in touch with the reality of common children, or have they become figures in the realm of fame and fortune?
Adding to the intrigue, there are whispers that Harry might not be considering a return to the UK. This is the same couple that famously stepped down as working members of the royal family back in 2020, slamming the monarchy and airing their grievances on prime time TV. Royal commentator Richard Fitzgerald rightly calls it a potential humiliation for the couple – walking back into the spotlight after all their attacks on the monarchy seems beyond extraordinary.
The Beano snub may appear as a simple comic book exclusion, but it reflects a deeper truth about Meghan and Harry's actions and the consequences of their choices. Their omission from this iconic edition speaks volumes about how they are perceived by the public.
