Prince Harry has been criticized by a royal commentator for his business decisions following his departure from the royal family with Meghan Markle. Despite this, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes that Harry is more intelligent than portrayed and has successfully navigated his own path post-royalty. Another royal expert, Tina Brown, known for her connection to Princess Diana, has criticized the couple’s professional choices.
According to Brown, both Meghan and Harry have made numerous mistakes in their professional lives, with Meghan being the primary decision-maker. Brown expressed disappointment in Harry relying on Meghan for guidance in their new life outside Buckingham Palace, pointing out Meghan’s continuous professional missteps.
Contrary to Brown’s views, Jennie Bond defended Harry, stating that he may not excel academically but is far from unintelligent. She recalled Princess Diana’s similar self-assessment, emphasizing that intelligence goes beyond academic achievements. Bond acknowledged the couple’s challenges in finding their footing post-royalty but commended their success in their respective ventures.
Bond noted Meghan’s humility in recognizing her business mistakes and willingness to learn from them. She highlighted the couple’s adjustment to life in California, emphasizing Harry’s focus on charitable work while Meghan delves into entrepreneurship and influencing. Despite criticisms, Bond sees the couple as content and successful in their new roles, carving out their niche away from royal obligations.
