MEGHAN MARKLE and Prince Harry have been warned their decision to quit the Royal Family is a "self-defeating exercise" that could "damage" the causes they really care about.Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are due to step down from their royal roles at the end of March after agreeing with the Royal Family to a 12-months trial period away from royal duties.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex signalled they wanted to have more independence in the causes they support as they insisted they want to become financially independent from the Crown.But in a shocking rant hitting out at Meghan and Harry, Institute of Public Affairs director Gideon Rozner warned their decision could end up harming the charities they want to promote.
Speaking to Sky News Australia, Mr Rozner said: "They’ve had more farewell tours than John Farnham. I’m absolutely sick of them."Harry is literally quitting the Royal Family to make a living out of being a full-time virtue signaller and attention-seeker."The silver linings is that will do more to irritate people and damage the very causes they are trying to help – it will be a completely self-defeating exercise.".The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had to fend off accusations of virtue signalling long before they unveiled their plans to leave the Royal Family..Meghan and Harry faced criticism after they were revealed to have collaborated with Vogue magazine to discuss their concerns about the environment and later taking at least two private jets to go on holiday to France and Spain.Since their announcement, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been living in Canada with their son Archie Harrison.Prince Harry returned to the UK at the end of February to begin his farewell tour before stepping down as a leading working royal.Meghan Markle joined her husband last week to attend the Endeavour Awards ceremony at Mansion House and later the Mountbatten Festival of Music at the Royal Albert Hall..Following a series of solo events, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined the rest of the Royal Family at the annual Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey on Monday.The couple is expected to put their royal career on hold until next year, when the new system agreed with Her Majesty will be reviewed to see whether to make it a permanent arrangement or not.
The Queen is thought to have imposed strict conditions upon Meghan and Harry under the terms of the agreement thrashed out at a Sandringham summit last month, with some dubbing the royal accord a “hard Megxit” as the pair had originally wanted to continue their work for the Queen.Addressing the 12-month review condition, Viscountess Hinchingbrooke said: “Putting that 12-month review in place goes to show you that the Queen will be watching them like a hawk.“She will want to see everything that they are doing, what they are making money from and how it is affecting the Royal Family.“So there must be some concern from the Queen about what their intentions are.”.With the Duke and Duchess now gearing up for a life on the other side of the Atlantic, Her Majesty will be forced to adjust to a life without her beloved grandson.And Meghan and Harry will also have to get used to living without royal benefits such as extensive security details.Addressing the matter of security, Meghan and Harry said on their website: “It is agreed that The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will continue to require effective security to protect them and their son.“This is based on The Duke’s public profile by virtue of being born into The Royal Family, his military service, the Duchess’ own independent profile, and the shared threat and risk level documented specifically over the last few years.”.
