In a recent critique, a royal commentator labeled Prince Harry as lacking intelligence due to a series of questionable business decisions made after he and Meghan Markle stepped back from royal duties and moved to California.
Contrary to this view, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond expressed her belief that the Duke of Sussex is more astute than portrayed, highlighting the couple’s unconventional path post-royalty. However, royal expert Tina Brown, a confidante of the late Princess Diana, harshly criticized the couple’s hectic professional endeavors and their newfound celebrity status.
According to Brown’s remarks in the New York Times, she pointed out numerous missteps by Meghan and suggested Harry relied on her guidance in navigating life beyond Buckingham Palace, only to face a string of poor decisions by Meghan in their professional pursuits.
In contrast, Jennie Bond disputed Brown’s assessment, emphasizing Harry’s success in various public roles despite not being traditionally academic. She recalled Princess Diana’s self-deprecating remark about her own intelligence, noting the discrepancy between perception and reality.
Regarding the couple’s post-royal endeavors, Jennie acknowledged some initial setbacks as they transitioned, but highlighted their achievements in respective ventures, with Meghan’s humility in acknowledging errors and Harry’s dedication to charitable causes.
As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex embrace their Californian lifestyle, Jennie noted their satisfaction in their business and charity pursuits, portraying a contented family life away from royal obligations.
The couple seems to have settled into distinct roles, with Meghan focusing on entrepreneurship and influence, while Harry devotes himself to charitable works close to his heart. Their adaptation to a new life in California appears successful and fulfilling, with a positive outlook on their current endeavors.
