According to PR expert Mark Bowski, appearing at high-profile events puts individuals in the spotlight for potential casting, bookings, and other opportunities. Bowski suggested that Meghan and Harry are seeking support for projects aligned with their values, but their high-end endeavors, including deals with Netflix and Spotify, haven't yielded the expected success. Bowski pointed out that the platforms might not see value in the content the couple wants to produce.
Recent reports indicated that Meghan's Archewell set up a GoFundMe campaign to pay off the mortgage on her and Prince Harry's new home in Los Angeles. Anastasia Hansen, a California resident, shared that Meghan and Harry faced financial challenges upon arriving in the US. The fundraiser aimed to offer help, compassion, and love by covering the home loan. However, it was shut down after just three donations, raising questions about the public's willingness to support the couple's financial endeavors.
Critics argued that the couple, despite facing challenges, should manage within their means rather than seeking financial assistance. Some questioned Meghan's decision to fundraise for her own home rather than supporting causes for those less fortunate. The sentiment expressed was that Meghan's move to seek financial help for a high-priced property was seen as out of touch, especially when compared to the struggles faced by immigrants and refugees striving for the American Dream.
In light of the criticism, Harry defended their media deals, stating that his family had cut him off financially, and he needed to ensure their security. However, public reactions to the GoFundMe initiative underscored challenges in the couple's attempts to connect with their audience and garner support for their projects.
