Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s tactics to maintain their popularity have come under scrutiny as they appear to actively seek recognition through awards and accolades. Since stepping away from the royal family in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have leveraged nominations to maintain their public appeal. Recently, Prince Harry received a nomination for the prestigious Pat Tillman Lifetime Achievement Award.
Commenting on their approach, Kinsey Schofield, an expert interviewed on Talk TV, was skeptical: “I see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle accepting many awards, the purposes of which often escape me, rather than embodying the life of service they once promised. How many awards has Meghan accepted for her podcast, which was canceled and criticized by her own network?”
Schofield added: “For Harry and Meghan, this looks like a calculated strategy. They seem determined to gain public respect, using their network and opportunities to accumulate trophies. However, I believe the public sees through their intentions.”
In 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their royal duties, citing racism against their son, Archie. They have since moved to California, where they welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet, into the family.
