Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have faced fresh criticism following the release of a German documentary that paints an unflattering portrait of their life in California. Titled *Harry: The Lost Prince*, the program scrutinizes the couple’s transition from royal life to their current roles as activists and philanthropists.  

 

 

The documentary accuses the pair of hypocrisy, juxtaposing their advocacy for social causes with what it describes as an "elitist" lifestyle. The film highlights Meghan’s penchant for designer clothing during visits to impoverished countries such as Nigeria and Colombia, a contrast that one commentator deemed damaging to their image. Russell Myers, a British royal correspondent featured in the documentary, remarked, “If you're going to places like Nigeria, like Colombia, which have huge socio-economic problems, some of the world's poorest communities in these countries, and you're turning up wearing tens of thousands of pounds worth of designer clothes – it really doesn't send the right message.”

 

 

The couple’s financial strategy also came under scrutiny. While they have distanced themselves from the British royal family, the documentary suggests they continue to benefit from their former royal status to sustain their affluent lifestyle. Angela Levin, a royal biographer, reflected on Harry’s dissatisfaction following their exit from royal duties, commenting, “He didn’t get exactly what he wanted – that he could be half in the royal family and half out.”

 

Criticism of their charity work further deepened the documentary's indictment. Archewell, the foundation created by Harry and Meghan, reportedly saw a steep decline in donations, dropping from $13 million in 2021 to $2 million in 2022. Additionally, the couple admitted to dedicating just one hour a week to the foundation, raising questions about their commitment.  

 

Richard Mineards, a Montecito neighbor and journalist, offered a candid perspective on the couple’s lifestyle in the affluent California enclave. He described the area’s exclusivity and expense, noting that most homes cost upwards of $8 million. However, he expressed skepticism about Meghan's contributions to the community. “I personally don’t think that Meghan is an asset to our community… She doesn’t really go out or get involved with the community. Harry has to a certain extent, because he’s quite jolly… but Meghan doesn’t seem to get seen anywhere.”  

 

The documentary also addressed public funding concerns tied to Harry's initiatives, such as the Invictus Games. Royston, another featured expert, pointed out the significant financial burden borne by taxpayers, particularly in light of Birmingham’s upcoming hosting of the games in 2027. “It’s going to be a big issue at the 2027 games which is in Birmingham, as Birmingham recently was driven to the verge of bankruptcy,” Royston observed.  

 

The film’s depiction of the couple as part of a privileged American elite, further distanced from the royal family, underscores the challenges they face in balancing their public roles with their private lives. For Harry and Meghan, the documentary serves as yet another reminder of the complexities of their departure from royal duties and their ongoing attempts to redefine their global image.

Their charity is simply a tax dodge, and a way to justify jetting around the world on private jets telling the "little people" how to live their lives.

 

They're done. No way they can come back from their current image problems. Harry would be better off admitting his foolishness, divorcing her and moving in with Prince Andrew where they can both stay hidden and mull over their rank stupidity.
