King Charles has slammed his son Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle for their hypocrisy, telling them to “put their money where their mouth is” when it comes to their charitable giving.
Charles’ comments came in response to a recent interview in which Harry and Meghan criticized the royal family for its lack of transparency and accountability. The couple also claimed that the royal family was not doing enough to help those in need.
Charles, however, has pointed out that Harry and Meghan have themselves been criticized for their lack of transparency and accountability when it comes to their own charitable giving. In 2020, the couple’s foundation, Archewell, raised over $50 million, but only donated a fraction of that money to charity.
“Harry and Meghan are always quick to criticize the royal family, but they don’t always seem to be so eager to practice what they preach,” Charles said. “I think it’s time for them to put their money where their mouth is and start being more transparent about their own charitable giving.”
Charles’ comments have been echoed by other members of the royal family, who have also criticized Harry and Meghan for their hypocrisy. Prince William, for example, has said that he is “disappointed” by his brother’s comments and that he feels that Harry and Meghan are “not doing enough” to help the royal family.
The Queen, too, has reportedly expressed her disappointment in Harry and Meghan. She is said to be “saddened” by the rift between the couple and the rest of the royal family.
It remains to be seen whether Harry and Meghan will respond to Charles’ comments. However, it is clear that the rift between the couple and the rest of the royal family is deepening.
