Meghan and Harry: Celebrity life won’t be like royalty, experts say
A royal expert said Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are trying to set up an “awakening surrogate royal family”.
Yesterday, the couple released a statement commenting on how “exceptionally fragile the world” is right now.
He touched on the Taliban’s rapid takeover of Afghanistan, the deadly earthquake that struck Haiti, which left more than 1,400 people dead, and the continuing COVID-19 pandemic that left them “scared.”
The Sussex family, who lives in the US, also said that while events may make people feel “helpless”, people can “put our values into practice – together”.
But royal writer Angela Levine called the couple’s comments “lavish” and said they sounded “fake”.

Prince Harry’s biographer Angela told MailOnline: “I think Harry and Meghan’s lavish, comforting and caring comments about the situation in Afghanistan, the disaster in Haiti and the new Covid variants are yet another example of trying to create an alternative genre that has woken up the royal family.
Like most of their ‘compassionate’ gestures, there is no indication what they will do themselves and whether any donations will go through the Archewell Foundation.
Their comment that they want to ‘reduce suffering between those we know and those we may never meet – this will prove our humanity’, sounds similar to their last comment, ‘We should sympathize with those we know and those we don’t know’ which makes it seem equally false.

Several others and the royal expert on social media agreed with one Twitter user saying the statement was “more power of words seeking publicity than Meghan and Harry”.
While another asked on Twitter: “Isn’t there something these two aren’t clinging to, trying to find a connection?”
But others have praised Meghan and Harry for speaking out, and donated many to the causes they proposed.
Harry and Meghan’s full statement, posted on Archewell’s website, read: “The world is very fragile right now.
“As we are all feeling the many levels of pain due to the situation in Afghanistan, we are left speechless.
“As we all watch the growing humanitarian catastrophe in Haiti, its danger exacerbated after last weekend’s earthquake, we are heartbroken.

“As we all witness the ongoing global health crisis, exacerbated by new variables and persistent misinformation, we are apprehensive.
“When any person or society suffers, a part of each of us does so with them, whether we realize it or not. And although we do not aim to live in a state of suffering, we, as a people, adapt to accept it. It is easy to find ourselves feeling powerless. , but we can put our values into practice — together.”
“To start, we encourage you to join us in supporting a number of organizations that are doing critical work. We also urge those in positions of global influence to advance quickly in the humanitarian dialogues that are expected to take place this fall at multilateral gatherings such as the United Nations General Assembly and Group Leaders Summit Twenty.
“As an international community, it is the decisions we make now – to relieve suffering among those we know and those we may not meet – that will prove our humanity.”
In addition to Harry and Meghan’s statement, the Archewell website has also published a statement from the Archewell team, detailing how they are helping in light of these events.

“We hope to do what we can to face the moment by providing support to the military community and the forces that have served in Afghanistan, as well as to the Afghan people who are facing violence and terrorism,” she says.
The statement also adds that they are “supporting the emergency response in Haiti with our partner World Central Kitchen, who works with local organizations helping with recovery efforts to save lives and keep those on the ground healthy.”
He adds that they also “work to support equality in vaccines through our commitment to combating the spread of misinformation, as well as our ongoing partnerships with Vax Live and Global Citizen.”
Meanwhile, earlier this week, Harry released another statement on his role as founder of Invictus Games, urging veterans of the Afghan war to help out and “provide support for each other.”
Harry, who spent 10 years in the British Army, which included two front-line tours to Afghanistan, created Invictus Games specifically for wounded and wounded service men and women.
In the statement, he spoke of the “common experience” of soldiers who fought Afghanistan and said what is happening now in the country “resonates across the international Invictus community.”
Meghan Markle’s biography on the royal family’s website has finally been updated after a two-month delay Kate Middleton brand ‘One of Us’ after William quit her stress-ridden hobby.
