Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s pre-recorded message at the Colombian Summit of Nobel Peace laurates was met with an unprecedented response from audience members.
The couple’s decision to send a video rather than appear in person raised eyebrows among attendees, questioning their commitment to their causes. The video, which featured the couple speaking from their luxurious California home, was described as predictably scripted and lacking authenticity.
This incident adds to a growing list of public relations setbacks for Harry and Megan, who have struggled to maintain their relevance since stepping back from royal duties.
The couple’s preference for controlled pre-recorded appearances rather than live interactions has been interpreted as an attempt to avoid direct scrutiny or unexpected situations.
The timing of this embarrassment could be worse for the couple, who have been trying to rebuild their brand following a series of setbacks including the end of their Spotify deal and declining public interest in their Netflix projects.
The early departure of audience members during their video presentation stands as a symbolic moment that might signal a broader shift in public patients for carefully curated long-distance activism from the comfort of California.
The gap between their ambitious aims and public reception seems to widen, suggesting that perhaps a fundamental reassessment of their approach might be necessary.
The incident is just the latest in a series of missteps for the couple since their high-profile exit from the royal family. Their attempts to carve out a new role for themselves have been met with mixed reactions and their public appearances have often been overshadowed by controversy.
Some argue that the couple’s lack of experience in navigating the complex world of public relations has contributed to their struggles without the support of the royal family.
