Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have just found themselves on the receiving end of seemingly never-ending hate and vitriol, now that the Vanity Fair cover story has started overtaking social media, and the like.
The conversation began in a piece for News.com.au, by royal commentator Daniela Elser.
She noted everything in the piece by saying, “Even though this LA outing sounds like the sort of thing that Mother Teresa would have gotten up to during her off hours and if she had ever had a doughnut, then came the inevitable Sussex-lash.”
Because “The duke and duchess were, certain cynical, mealy-mouthed sections of social media loudly argued, just there to burnish their halos and to enjoy the reflected good PR.”
For those unversed, accusations ranged from them wanting a ‘photo-op’ to Meghan being a disaster tourist, alongside her husband.
But in the eyes of Ms Elser, the bottom line this showed was that “No matter how well-intentioned Harry and Meghan were, they still came in for a veritable bucketing,” and “their simple attempt at saying thank you taking on a malignant life of its own.”
