The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have come under heavy fire for what many have described as a quasi-royal tour of New York.
And it’s not hard to understand why, given the couple – who say they retreated from the royal family in an effort to maintain privacy – managed to splash out around $542,000 in three days as they toured some of the poorest parts of the city, in a trip designed to lecture about vaccine equality.
The clangers came thick and fast as soon as the pair touched down in the world’s most culturally diverse city, where their first appearance was to tour the World Trade Center’s 9/11 museum and memorial. This came just weeks after they were accused of distastefulness for running the victims’ names on their archewell.com website.
But perhaps most damaging of all to the pair was their decision to visit a Harlem neighbourhood school, at which 94 percent of kids’ families are at or below the poverty line, and where Meghan, 40, hugged students in front of the cameras while dripping in $20,000 worth of clothes and jewellery.
Wearing a $10,000 cashmere magenta suit and coat combo, along with Manolo Blahniks and an $8500 Cartier “Love” bracelet, Meghan read copies of her own book, The Bench, aloud to a crowd of children.
