Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's tactics to maintain popularity have come under scrutiny, as they appear to be actively seeking recognition through awards and accolades. Since stepping away from the Royal Family in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been leveraging nominations to sustain their public appeal. Recently, Prince Harry received a nomination for the prestigious Pat Tillman Award for Service.
Commenting on their approach, Kinsey Schofield, an expert interviewed on Talk TV, expressed skepticism: "I see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle accepting numerous awards, the purposes of which often escape me, rather than embodying the life of service they once promised. How many awards has Meghan accepted for her podcast, which was canceled and criticized by her own network?"
Schofield continued, "For Harry and Meghan, this seems like a calculated strategy. They seem intent on garnering public respect, using networking and opportunities to accumulate trophies. However, I believe the public sees through their intentions."
In 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle departed from royal duties, citing issues including perceived racism towards their son, Archie. They have since settled in California, where they welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet, into the family.
