Bethenny Frankel Criticizes Meghan & Harry Over Identity Crisis!
Bethenny Frankel recently voiced her thoughts on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, calling out what she sees as a lack of identity. According to Frankel, the couple's struggle to define themselves outside of the British royal family appears to be intentional rather than accidental.
Frankel argues that while Harry and Meghan claimed to have stepped away from royal life to become independent, their actions suggest otherwise. The couple frequently attends high-profile events, often appearing in roles reminiscent of their former royal duties.
For instance, Harry and Meghan recently visited a wildfire relief hub in Pasadena, a move that mirrors traditional royal engagements following tragedies. Frankel pointed out that Prince Harry did something similar during Hurricane Sandy while still an active royal, raising questions about whether they truly left royal life behind.
“They’re trying as hard as they can to still look like royals,” Frankel noted.
Another major point Frankel made was about Meghan’s shifting personal brand. Over the years, Meghan has attempted to reinvent herself—from actress to royal to lifestyle influencer. Now, with the launch of her new brand, As Ever, Frankel suggests that Meghan is struggling to establish a clear and authentic identity.
Previously, Meghan was criticized for presenting an overly polished, “Martha Stewart-style” image. But when she recently tried to embrace a more natural and unfiltered aesthetic, the reaction was mixed. Frankel believes this inconsistency confuses the public, making it difficult for Meghan to connect with audiences in a meaningful way.
"First, it was all about perfection, and now it's suddenly all-natural? The lack of consistency is what turns people off."
Frankel also argued that Harry hasn’t really changed much since leaving the royal family. He continues to attend charity events, give speeches, and champion causes, just as he did when he was a working royal.
"He’s still doing the same things—Invictus Games, charity work, and making speeches. So what really changed?"
Frankel believes that Harry and Meghan want to enjoy the perks of royalty without the responsibilities. While they insist they are independent, they continue to engage in royal-like activities, leaving many confused about their actual status.
According to Frankel, the couple’s branding issues are not accidental—they are a deliberate strategy. She suggests that their ambiguity allows them to deny royal connections when convenient while still benefiting from their former status.
“They want all the perks of being royals without doing any of the work,” she said.
Frankel’s remarks have sparked a debate online, with some agreeing that Meghan and Harry lack a clear identity, while others believe the criticism is unfair.
As the Sussexes continue to navigate their post-royal life, one thing remains clear: public perception of them is divided. Whether they embrace a new, independent identity or continue to walk the fine line between royal and celebrity status remains to be seen.
