OPINION: Meghan and Harry's return to the UK has so far been excruciating 📷
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent visit to Nottingham was incredibly cringeworthy — an exercise in vanity as the couple seeks to convince the British public that they are still relevant. The sorry exhibition, complete with underwhelming crowds and super-fans handing Meghan flowers, pales in comparison to a recent outing by Catherine, the Princess of Wales. Infinitely more dignified and tasteful, her visit to a mental health charity in south-west London last month was not even publicised, and was kept secret.
Dose of Nature, a mental health organisation based in Kew, helps people improve their wellbeing using clinical psychology and enhancing their connection with the natural world. Catherine told Tom — a former programme participant who has since joined the charity’s staff and volunteers as a Nature Guide: “Our journey has been very, very different, but it’s so wonderful to hear how your nature connection has been so healing for you, and I felt the same.”
The Princess clearly visited as she genuinely believes in the organisation, which is benefiting greatly by her being there. Harry and Meghan, meanwhile, visited organisations in Nottingham for a selfish reason as it was part of their campaign to be “public figures”, even though the King recently, and rightly, reminded them that they are private citizens following their stepping down as working royals in 2020.
The Princess of Wales is an ideal core member of the firm, and staff will be very glad that she has returned to her duties after her illness. The Sussexes are a thorn in the crown’s side, trying to overshadow those who are doing important work on behalf of Charles, rather than seeking to boost their own personal profiles.
This is something Meghan in particular seems incapable of doing. She needs to be at the centre of attention.
Kate is very comfortable with handing the spotlight to others and conducting low-key visits that make a real difference to people in need of help. She will make a great queen.
It really is no wonder that she and William have distanced themselves from the other half of what was once called the "Fab Four". And it is incredibly sad that Harry and Meghan chose such a destructive path rather than carrying on doing their duties. They would have made a formidable team.
