A royal expert recently characterized Prince Harry as lacking intelligence in a scathing review of his business decisions post his departure from royal duties with Meghan Markle to California. Nonetheless, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond argues that the Duke of Sussex possesses more intelligence than commonly perceived, forging a unique path alongside the Duchess post their royal exit. Another royal expert, Tina Brown, a friend of the late Princess Diana, criticized the couple’s hectic professional life and newfound Hollywood status.
Brown, in an interview with the New York Times, expressed her view, stating, “I have never seen anybody in professional life make as many mistakes as Meghan has. And unfortunately, Harry is not the brightest bulb, either. So he thought that Meghan would be his great sort of guide in the big, wide world beyond Buckingham Palace, as it were. And it turns out that Meghan makes one terrible professional decision after another.”
Contrary to Brown’s assessment, Jennie Bond defended Harry, highlighting his success as a public figure across various domains, emphasizing that lacking an academic background does not equate to being unintelligent. Regarding the couple’s career trajectory post-royalty, Jennie noted their initial struggles but acknowledged their eventual success in their respective business and charitable endeavors.
Meghan’s humility in acknowledging her business mistakes and willingness to learn from them were commended by Jennie, who also observed the couple’s contentment with their Californian life, emphasizing their dedication to their ventures and family. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appear settled and happy in their individual roles, with Meghan focusing on entrepreneurship and influencing while Harry remains dedicated to charitable causes close to his heart.
The couple’s unapologetic embrace of their Californian lifestyle, devoid of any apparent longing for their royal past, signifies their satisfaction with their current endeavors, as noted by Jennie. She emphasized that the couple’s contentment and success in their chosen paths should be respected and celebrated by all.
