Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, have been warned they are “sinking” following a school event row this week, a royal commentator has said.
Documents recently revealed that the couple arranged a visit to a Harlem school in 2021 that came with a gagging clause for staff and students attending a reading of the Duchess’ book “The Bench”.
Children at the school – most of whom came from disadvantaged backgrounds – were given new cushions to sit on as they listened to the Duchess talk, something that has rubbed some commentators the wrong way.
Daily Mail columnist Jan Moir said she couldn’t believe the couple could “sink any lower” following the news this week, adding the couple exceeded “all negative expectations”.
She said: “For if poverty is regrettable, at least it can be photogenic. Especially when the Sussexes’ Netflix crew was filming every oh-so-casually humanitarian moment for the Harry & Meghan documentary, which was released in December 2022.”
