In the midst of health complications for King Charles, Kate Middleton, and Sarah Ferguson, Mike Parry criticized Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for not using the event to express well-wishes or address the ongoing issues. Speaking on GB News, Parry stated that the couple seemed preoccupied with filling their time and mingling with Jamaican politicians who have advocated for breaking away from the UK, expressing insensitivity.
During the discussion, presenter Beev Turner argued that it didn't matter that the couple hadn't addressed the health concerns directly, as King Charles wasn't on his deathbed but rather having a prostate check. Parry, however, continued his critique, pointing out the couple's reluctance to leave their mansion and suggesting that if they were going to make a trip abroad, it would have been more appropriate to visit the UK. He urged them to make approaches to the royal family, emphasizing the missed opportunity for bridge-building.
In defense, Turner argued that the couple was merely building their brand, a sentiment she believed they were entitled to. The critique comes in the wake of Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, subtly paying tribute to King Charles during a visit to Harris Girls' Academy in East Dulwich as part of her work as the patron of the charity Wellbeing for Women.
