Instead of centering on the remarkable stories of resilience and the inspiring races that the event is meant to honor, it appears Meghan and Harry have managed to make it all about themselves. This diversion from the event's primary purpose is a lamentable misuse of a platform intended to highlight the triumph of the human spirit. Royal author Tom Bower has aptly highlighted the audacity of this self-centered behavior.
Notably, the royal family chose to publicly ignore Prince Harry's 39th birthday, refraining from extending any birthday wishes via social media. This seemingly significant development indicates their recognition of the necessity to distance themselves from the ongoing antics of Meghan and Harry.
The ongoing feud with the royal family, coupled with allegations of racism and physical assault, has strained relations to the point of breaking. No attempts at reconciliation have been made, and it's increasingly evident that the Duke of Sussex is finding himself isolated within the family.
Particularly troubling is Meghan's recent visit to Germany, where she reportedly engaged in charity work and met with the homeless. However, these actions appear staged and insincere. The stark contrast between her time spent on the streets of Germany and her return to her lavish mansion in Montecito couldn't be more apparent. It's almost as if she's playing a role, and the exaggerated sweetness of it all feels contrived.
It's heartening to observe that the royal family is now acknowledging the importance of distancing themselves from Meghan and Harry. They have opted to ignore and ostracize the couple, refraining from giving them further attention or assistance. This development is indeed a welcome one, and one can only hope that the media will follow suit by not amplifying their every move.
In another telling incident, Prince Harry's request for a room at Windsor Castle was reportedly declined, emphasizing that he can no longer expect special treatment. Despite his visit to London for the WellChild Awards, his request to meet with King Charles was deemed unfeasible due to scheduling constraints. Instead of residing in Windsor Castle, he was obliged to stay in a hotel.
It's worth noting that Prince Harry no longer maintains a permanent home in Britain, having been evicted from Frogmore Cottage when he relocated to America. This inability to secure a room at Windsor Castle symbolizes his changed status within the royal family. He is no longer a senior working royal, and the privileges once afforded to him in that role have since diminished."
