Kinsey Schofield on Harry and Meghan: “Hell Bent” on Their Own Way Despite Family Fallout

Kinsey Schofield, a renowned royal commentator, has shared her candid thoughts on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, asserting that the couple is “hell bent” on pursuing their own interests, even at the expense of family relationships, including those with Thomas Markle and the rest of the Royal Family.

Schofield highlighted Meghan’s recent ventures, noting that despite her ongoing projects, there’s a looming pressure on their success. Meghan has wrapped filming her cooking series for Netflix, a show that promises to celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship. However, skepticism surrounds her knowledge of friendship, as Schofield remarked on the transient nature of Meghan’s relationships.

The stakes are high for Meghan’s new show. A failure could severely tarnish the couple’s reputation, already questioned by media outlets like the Daily Beast and Business Insider. The latter described the couple as “terrible at business,” questioning why companies continue to invest millions in them. This show is seen as a crucial opportunity for Meghan to prove her worth in the business world.

Prince Harry’s endeavors are equally scrutinized. He is reportedly working on a Netflix series about polo, a project met with mixed reactions. Should these projects fail, the couple risks losing their lucrative Netflix deal, a primary source of their income. With Spotify already showing signs of dissatisfaction, the couple’s financial future appears uncertain.

Schofield didn’t shy away from discussing the couple’s tarnished reputation. She mentioned the Kensington Palace bullying report and the revolving door of their employees since moving to the U.S. These incidents raise concerns about who might still be willing to support the couple financially.

The commentator also touched on recent controversies, such as the couple’s handling of the Pat Tillman Award, which drew criticism for disrespecting the wishes of Tillman’s mother. Schofield compared this to their treatment of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip in their final years, accusing Harry and Meghan of ignoring their wishes for peace.

The ongoing feud within Meghan’s family was another focal point. Despite promoting themes of friendship and entertaining, Meghan has seemingly distanced herself from her family, excluding her mother. Schofield criticized Meghan for not reaching out to her family, particularly her elderly father, who has yet to meet his grandchildren.

In a broader reflection on Meghan’s public persona, Schofield recalled Meghan’s attempt to appear relatable during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres. This effort to repair her public image came off as contrived, especially after the bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview, making it hard for the public to accept her as a “joyful entertainer.”

Schofield’s insights paint a picture of a couple determined to chart their own course, regardless of the familial and reputational costs. With their future in entertainment and business hanging in the balance, Harry and Meghan’s every move will continue to be under the microscope.
