Prince Harry and Meghan Markle arrived at the World Trade Center observatory in New York, which marked their first joint outing following the birth of their daughter Lilibet.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s New York Visit Has Been Bashed On Social Media
Upon arrival, they met up with the city’s mayor Bill de Blasio as well as Kathy Hochul (New York Governor). In the pictures here, we can see both of them wearing masks as they arrive in formal attire.
Meghan and Harry have huge smiles on their faces as they wave at the passers-by. This appearance was significant as it was one of the first since the pair’s controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey on CBS.
While it was a milestone, the response on social media has been anything but kind. Critics of the couple have claimed that they should not be engaging and meeting up with political figures, given that they have left the Royal family.
After all, the main reason they left was to pursue some sense of normality. One user on Twitter confirmed as much: “It’s just wrong for them to do that because they aren’t working for the Firm anymore and aren’t neutral at all and to be with that man while using the titles! It’s a big mistake.”
As such, the two have been accused of trying to make a career by living off the name of the Royal family. By doing so, they are appealing to both sides, those who love the Royals, as well as those who are indifferent.
They are hoping that by placing themselves in the middle, they can create a version of a ‘Royal family’ that is appealing to the public. This did not go down well, though.
Another user on Twitter stated: “I don’t know what’s more embarrassing, the Sussexes treating a visit to NYC like it’s a royal tour or the Mayor and Governor treating it like it is.”
Regardless of the pair’s motivations, it is clear that they will always have some influence. As long as they can use that in a positive light, then who are we to say anything to dismiss that. But as for the public perception of them, it is not looking great.
