Sussex 'Baloney' Word Salad: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Do Nothing But Serve Up 'Inauthentic' and 'Fake' Talking Points
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly "love to hear themselves speak" and express themselves in textures, tones and hand gestures that look and sound "overly extra" and "cringe."
"I think they need to work out what they want to do," royal author Robert Jobson told The Sun. "They don't come across as particularly authentic."
"It wasn't just fast and loose with the truth, a lot of it was complete baloney," he added when offering his opinion on the duo's blockbuster 2022 Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan.
On the pair's recent four-day tour of Colombia, he continued, "They tried to give it an impression of a quasi-royal tour, they had elements of politics and elements of caring for young kids. At the end of the day what I don't understand is, if Meghan and Harry wanted to do 'quasi-royal tours' why not stick around and do it properly. Then they would have been doing it for the King and the country, which is what Harry always bangs on about."
In highlighting how the Montecito couple could prevent being accused of trying to "cash in" on their former royal status, the scribe further observed, "Just do things that are authentic, and just do things that are real rather than staged with loads of outfit changes."
Jobson concluded, "I think they could just do some real work in America maybe and people will start to believe you."
Harry published an explosive, bestselling memoir, Spare, in January 2023, which one insider said likely "ruined his relationship with his family for the rest of his life." A month before that, he and Meghan appeared in their self-titled Netflix documentary, which was also a hit. But one prominent royal analyst sees the beleaguered Duke's new life as likely, nothing more than his Duchess' permanent support act.
"I do think he misses parts of his life in Britain," royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams shared. "However, he is a campaigner for what he sees are press excesses and also his police protection… I see his future as a support to Meghan if she decides to go into politics, which she might, or otherwise in their charitable ventures together."
Royal expert Hilary Fordwich descriptively summarized Harry's plight by stating, "For many American Brits, particularly from England, there are two sayings that sum us up. The first from John Mahoney, 'You can take the boy out of England, but you can’t take England out of the boy,' referring to his huge emotional attachment to England. The other is from Shakespeare, 'This precious stone set in the silver sea… This blessed plot, this Earth, this realm, this England.'"
With the pair's Hollywood freeze-out picking up steam again, the royal rebels' attempt to transition into influencers and "health and wellness gurus" with Meghan's American Riviera Orchard has stalled.
