Prince Harry and his spouse, Meghan Markle, have been faced with the tough question of how to react when they are publicly humiliated.
Do they do the Michelle Obama dance of being dignified and going high when the world and media go low?
Or, do they try to blow some steam and lash out at the press? Apparently, the power couple has decided to do both while taking Obama’s classy advice into consideration.
The duo has faced countless moments where they were ridiculed for their behavior, business ventures, and the revelations they have made about King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton.
Most recently, they have been mocked for failing to get a big nomination. Harry & Meghan, the Netflix docuseries released by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in late 2022, damaged the Royal Family beyond repair.
However, it also landed in the history books as the biggest documentary released by the streaming giant. Yet, it was snubbed and did not make the Emmy Awards nomination shortlist.
However, the couple has been nominated at the Hollywood Critics Awards in the Best Streaming Non-Fiction category. The fact that the project did not receive an Emmy nod has given royal and political experts the opportunity to laugh at the Sussexes’ expense.
Nile Gardiner, a former aide to Margaret Thatcher, mocked the Montecito couple by saying it was a pity it was not nominated as fiction.
Gardiner stated: “Should really be nominated as a work of fiction. The sheer amount of lies and disinformation contained in this documentary is simply staggering.”
How does Harry react when they are being clowned publicly? According to Ingrid Seward, who spoke to the Mirror, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle must be vexed by the snub.
The royal expert and editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine shared: “Meghan and Harry will concentrate on this and make it a positive. However irritated they might be, they might not be in the Emmy nominations.”
Seward went on to say that she predicts that the duo will do their best to keep their true feelings hidden because they have a brand to protect.
The writer claimed: “Of course, Harry and Meghan] will not show it.”
Seward acknowledged that the docuseries did extremely well, with a total of 81.6 million hours watched in four days, but it “was obviously not good enough for an Emmy nomination.”
The Sussexes say they have big plans for the near future.
