In a recent development, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been accused of attempting to recapture the royal status they lost when they decided to leave the Royal Family. The accusations have been made by US-based journalist Lee Cohen, who has criticized the couple's recent three-day tour of Nigeria as a transparent effort to regain their former standing.
The tour, which has been described as "quasi-royal" by many, has been branded as "fake" and "transparent" by Cohen. During an interview with GBN America, he was quoted saying, "The royal tour was nothing more than an attempt to recapture the status that they gave up by stepping back in 2020."
Cohen further elaborated that the couple has been "widely mocked" for such behaviors, and he added, "They have no substantive credentials to make quasi-royal appearances or diplomatic visits to foreign nations."
The journalist emphasized that the Sussexes are currently "selling jam and making fake royal tours to transparently promote themselves," which he believes will do nothing to provide them with the official qualifications they rejected years ago when they chose to step away from their royal duties.
This criticism comes as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to navigate their new path, seeking to balance their desire for privacy and independence with their public personas. The accusation that they are attempting to win back favor through nostalgia-fueled events highlights the ongoing scrutiny and challenges they face in the aftermath of their royal departure.
As the Sussexes navigate this complex landscape, the public and the media will likely continue to closely watch their every move, analyzing their actions and intentions through the lens of their past royal roles and the consequences of their decision to step away from the monarchy.
