Duchess Meghan + Prince Harry: are these actions a cry for attention?

Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry support British charity organizations from the United States. There is criticism for this.

Prince Harry + Duchess Meghan: Charity messages only a means to an end?

Prince Harry, 35, and Duchess Meghan, 38, threw in the towel as Senior Royals in January 2020. The couple want a free, self-determined life away from the British court and financial independence. This project is to succeed in Los Angeles. But like many other people in the world, the corona virus also thwarted Harry and Meghan. A new start was postponed indefinitely. The Royals don't even have an active Instagram channel to get in touch with the public. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex – slowed down by a virus!

Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth, 94, Prince Charles, 71, Duchess Catherine, 38, Prince William, 38, and the other royals in England had to withdraw to protect them from the pandemic. But unlike Harry and Meghan, they still had and still have to fulfill their royal duty: video calls with charity organizations and palace employees, government business in the case of the Queen and – for a few days now – personal meetings outside their own four walls again.

And so Harry and Meghan, who have more or less disappeared, occasionally report to the British charities from the United States. Not everyone thinks this is great. Angela Levin, who met Harry for a face-to-face conversation at Kensington Palace in 2016, watched him at close range for a year and wrote the book "Harry – Conversations with a Prince", says on Twitter:

"Harry and Meghan send several support messages to British charities. Does that help them still feel relevant? Or is it patronizing? They would have been of much greater value if they had stayed in the UK."

The message is clear: you have turned your back on England, so stay out of the British affair. A new situation for the Sussexes, who are still ambitious to be noticed by the public with their work for society. The "Archwell" foundation planned by Harry and Meghan does not go on either. As the British tabloid "The Sun" reports, the name has not been protected by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The reason: The purpose of the foundation was too vague, not all of the necessary fees had been paid, and a signature was also missing.
