A royal expert recently characterized Prince Harry as lacking intelligence due to several questionable business decisions made after he and Meghan Markle stepped away from royal duties and settled in California.
Nevertheless, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond argued that the Duke of Sussex possesses more intelligence than commonly perceived, highlighting his successful venture into a unique path alongside the Duchess post-royal life. On the other hand, royal commentator Tina Brown, a close associate of the late Princess Diana, criticized the couple’s hectic professional pursuits and newfound Hollywood status in a scathing remark.
Brown, speaking to the New York Times, expressed her dismay at Meghan’s repeated professional missteps and portrayed Harry as not particularly astute. She remarked on Harry’s reliance on Meghan for guidance beyond Buckingham Palace, only to be met with a series of poor decisions from Meghan.
Contrary to Brown’s assertions, Jennie Bond refuted the notion that Harry lacks intelligence, noting his accomplishments in various public roles. She recalled Harry’s acknowledgment of not being academically inclined, emphasizing that this does not equate to being unintelligent, drawing parallels to Princess Diana’s similar self-deprecating remarks.
Discussing the couple’s post-royal career trajectory, Jennie acknowledged some initial setbacks as they navigated their new roles but praised their eventual success in their respective endeavors. Meghan’s humility in acknowledging mistakes and her eagerness to learn from them were highlighted, along with Harry’s focus on charitable work aligned with his values.
Despite external criticisms, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have embraced their Californian lifestyle without apparent regrets about leaving their royal roles. Jennie observed their contentment with their business ventures, charitable activities, and the harmonious life they have crafted for their family.
The couple seems to have settled into their roles, with Meghan pursuing influencer and entrepreneurial endeavors while Harry devotes his attention to charitable causes close to his heart. Their contentment and success were noted by Jennie, who questioned the need for anyone to begrudge them their current state of happiness.
