Was there ever a extra self-interested, self-aggrandising pair than Meghan Markle and Harry Windsor – the newly topped Duke and Duchess of the Greenback – who this week launched into what can solely be described as a money seize tour of Australia? As one Sydney newspaper put it: “They wish to use Australia as an ATM.” Sure, they do. However what actually grates is their hypocrisy in attempting to cover the actual fact they’re grifters by pretending to be bleeding coronary heart, do-gooders on a mission to avoid wasting the world.
One of many first issues they did on arriving in Oz – earlier than the money seize started – was meet a bunch of kids with psychological well being points after which proceeded to inform them how horrible THEIR pampered lives had been and the way the world has been so horribly merciless to them.

As a substitute of listening to children with actual issues, Meghan determined to dump hers and advised them that for ten years she’d been “THE most trolled particular person in the whole world”, which after all she will be able to’t show and which isn’t true as I think Donald Trump beats her palms down. “I’ve been bullied and attacked daily for ten years,” she whined to these younger Aussies. What the hell was she doing – attempting to compete with them saying “No matter you suppose you’re going by way of – I’ve had it worse.”
Or was she simply doing what she all the time does – seeing the world by way of the prism of her personal ego and victimhood.
And naturally, the Manchild Harry needed to get in on the “Woe is Me “act telling these younger folks: “I waited till I used to be actually within the foetal place, mendacity on the kitchen flooring till I used to be like OK, possibly I ought to do this remedy factor.” My God – can’t they cease speaking about themselves even for a minute? They’re confronted with critically troubled children and it is nonetheless all me, me, me.
Their complete pampered lives are constructed round victimhood and the injustice they imagine has been heaped on them. And so they don’t simply experience that they knowingly monetise it while concurrently utilizing it to garner sympathy, so that they seem like “courageous survivors” – not the cash grubbers they’re.
I’m betting Meghan’s pleased with being the world’s most trolled particular person as a result of it offers her standing and she will be able to say: “It’s been hellish for me – however, hey, I’m a survivor.” And that narrative performs properly once they’re attempting to promote themselves.
Which is exactly what they’re doing in Australia. They know they’re a busted flush within the US, so that they’ve dragged the Harry and Megan Compassion Bandwagon to a special continent to make some dosh.
In reality, they’re doing precisely what the late Queen Elizabeth feared they’d – milking their royal standing for business achieve. To that finish, Meghan has signed as much as be a visitor decide on MasterChef Australia. She’s flogging £1,400-a-head talks about wellness and private progress (yawn) which aren’t promoting out as quick as she’d hoped.
And she or he’s frantically pushing her As Ever line. Even worse, she’s promoting the (horribly drab) garments off her again through a brand new AI vogue portal she’s invested in. In fact, her persons are attempting to downplay the money she’s making claiming she’s doing it primarily to showcase her favorite vogue designers. Yeah. Proper!
Harry and Meghan have confirmed every little thing the late Queen knew would occur if she allowed them the half-in, half-out association they wished. She sussed Meghan was by no means going to be a dutiful royal spouse who caught to the foundations.
And she or he sensed she’d exploit her title. That stated, Meghan and Harry now have precisely what they wished – they current themselves as royals, they demand to be handled as such, they stage fake royal excursions, they usually shamelessly money it on their titles. They’ve obtained all of it – besides respect and their reputations.
Completely out of order!
Nonetheless on the Aussie tour, Harry stated he wished to be a greater Father to his youngsters than Charles had been to him. How crass, how merciless, how totally insensitive!
Charles introduced Harry and Wills up as a single dad or mum and (in contrast to Harry) he had an all-consuming, full-time job because the inheritor obvious who was additionally attempting to cope with the gaping gap that Diana’s dying had left of their son’s lives. Harry had no such pressures. In reality, he stated that simply the prospect of changing into a dad severely affected his psychological well being. Thank God King Charles was stronger than that!
Harry doesn’t have a job. He’s not a single dad or mum. And it is time he realised that being a superb dad means you cease obsessing about your self and put your youngster’s wants, well being and well-being above your personal!
