Many may recall that not long ago, English journalist, broadcaster, and media personality Piers Morgan went to town, chewing the Sussexes up and spitting them out in an op-ed for The Daily Mail. Just a few of the choice comments he made were, “heir stupendously rich paymasters Netflix didn’t hire the Duke and Duchess for their experience, or lack of it.
The world’s most successful streaming giants hired them because they’re royal, titled, and therefore, as we’ve seen since the announcement yesterday, can generate spectacular global media attention just by breaking wind in public.”
Mr. Morgan isn’t the only one pointing out how Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are taking advantage of their Royal titles, however. Now, British Royal biographer Angela Levin has joined the growing chorus of those raising their voices against the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Royal Biographer Claims Prince Harry and Meghan Are “Exploiting” Royal Family
Ms. Levin has claimed in an interview with a British publication that when it comes to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s behavior, it’s all a pre-planned plot. According to her, Prince Harry and Meghan planned to ditch the Royal family even before they got married. However, in this scenario, Prince Harry and Meghan would keep their Royal titles and use them to their overall advantage, while essentially giving nothing back in return.
As Ms. Levin suggested, “I think that it’s the biggest exploitation of the Royal Family in our lifetime. I don’t think this could have been done very quickly that they come out of the Royal Family, they’ve got all their PR and agents set up, they negotiate with Netflix, wham bam here’s 150 million for your future.”
Ms. Levin continued, noting that, “I think this was plotted right from the very beginning, before the wedding. We know that they set up their website before the wedding and I think that this is using them.”
And Just Like That Harry and Meghan Are Beyond The Top 1%
Whether there is any truth to Ms. Levin’s accusation regarding a pre-planned plot for Harry and Meghan Markle to take advantage of their Royal Titles … the absolute truth is that they have done so. Can anyone honestly make the claim that Meghan Markle would have looked at Harry twice had he been a factory worker?
Meghan Markle has ridden the tailcoats of her first rich husband to some success as an actress, and now she’s convinced Prince Harry to ditch his family as she has ditched hers … all while waving the banner of the only thing that distinguishes Harry from the masses. Namely, Prince Harry’s royal titles.
Before the couple married, both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were already financially well within the top 1% of earners (Prince Harry didn’t really earn him, it was given him due to his privileged birth, but whatever). In the USA, one has to earn at least $421,926 per year to be in the top 1% according to CNBC. And now, following the Netflix deal, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have leveraged their titles to go well beyond the top 1%.
It’s more like … Harry and Meghan Markle have jumped into the 1% of the 1% … without even a slight tip of the hat or nod to the fact that neither would be where they are today if not for their titles.
