Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are ‘monetizing almost every moment’ after leaving the royal family

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are capitalizing on their royal ties.

According to expert Hilary Fordwich, the couple continues to disregard the stipulation that Queen Elizabeth II made clear when they left The Firm in 2020.

“What Queen Elizabeth II viewed as totally and utterly unacceptable has been adopted by the Sussexes as their modus operandi, blurring the line between being private citizens and wannabe celebrities while leveraging their royal connections,” the commentator told Fox News Digital.

“Each trip they make is styled to be rather like a faux royal tour as they seem to monetize almost every moment,” Fordwich said.

Meghan and Harry have been on several unofficial tours, including trips to Jordan and Australia, since moving to America. According to reports, the two were paid for some of their appearances.

Commentator Helena Chard feels the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are “absolutely blurring the lines between private business and monarchy business.”

“Successful working members of the royal family work as a team, supporting the king in his many state and national duties,” she told the outlet.

“They do not compete. Both Harry and Meghan realize that, despite leaving royal life years ago, their global relevance is determined by their royal status,” the British broadcaster noted.

“They have appeared internationally in what many claim to be self-serving lookalike royal tours involving charity work in a bid to monetize their royal status. However, they are no longer working royals,” Chard added.

“The optics no doubt confuse people, blurring the distinction between the Sussexes and the official monarchy, especially as Harry considers himself a working royal,” she said.

During a recent visit to Ukraine, Harry was asked by an ITV reporter if he considers himself “not a working royal.”

“No,” the Spare author replied. “I will always be part of the royal family.”

“I am here working doing the things that I was born to do,” Harry stated, referencing his efforts with the humanitarian landmine clearance organization HALO.

“You know, I enjoy doing it. I enjoy coming to do these trips and supporting that I’ve ever before, the friends that I’ve made and hopefully, bringing attention to issues that, for one reason or another, drop out of the news because something else has popped up,” the father of two said.
