In a world where royal narratives often dominate headlines, the fascination with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continues to overshadow many so-called royal biographers.
Despite their attempts to leverage the names of Harry and Meghan for publicity, the results have been less than stellar.
Books that claim to explore the lives of working royals frequently end up focusing primarily on the Sussexes, and not in a flattering light.
Take Robert Hadman’s recent release, for example.
Despite his promotional efforts centered around Harry and Meghan, the book flopped spectacularly earlier this year.
Critics pointed out that it contained negative portrayals of the couple and their children, yet that didn’t stop it from being a commercial failure.
Lady Colin Campbell, another royal biographer, faced a similar fate when her book failed to resonate with readers.
Now, Robert Jobson finds himself in the same predicament, with his book languishing at a disappointing rank of 3,763 in the Kindle store.
Interestingly, while Jobson’s book struggles, Prince Harry‘s memoir, “Spare,” continues to thrive.
With a solid rating of 4.5, it has become a topic of conversation across various platforms, including YouTube.
In fact, a recent article by Saeed Saeed highlighted that “Spare” is among the most discussed books online, alongside popular titles like “Twilight.”
This clearly indicates that Harry’s story resonates with many, while the biographers’ attempts to capitalize on his name seem to fall flat.
It’s somewhat ironic that these authors, who rely on the Sussexes for content, often end up delivering narratives that do not engage readers.
The overwhelming focus on Harry and Meghan, rather than the other royals, raises questions about the authenticity of these biographies.
Jobson’s book, which he claimed would delve into the lives of the entire royal family, seems to be more about Harry and Meghan than anyone else, leading to skepticism about its true intentions.
Meanwhile, Piers Morgan, a vocal critic of the Sussexes, continues to express his disdain.
His recent commentary on Harry and Meghan’s tour to Colombia showcases his ongoing obsession.
Morgan seems unable to accept that the Duke and Duchess enjoy significant global popularity, a stark contrast to other royals he tends to praise.
His articles often come off as bitter rants rather than informed critiques.
Morgan’s assertion that Harry and Meghan aren’t “real royals” is particularly puzzling.
Royal status is not something one can simply choose; it’s a matter of birth and marriage.
Harry, as the son of the king, holds the title of Prince, while Meghan became the Duchess of Sussex through her marriage to him.
Their commitment to charitable causes and public service arguably reflects the essence of royalty more than mere ceremonial duties performed by others.
In a particularly perplexing moment, Morgan questioned why Harry and Meghan were allowed to visit Colombia.
His tone suggested that they needed some sort of permission, ignoring the fact that they are now private citizens free to travel as they please.
The idea that they must adhere to royal protocols post-split is outdated and unrealistic.
Morgan’s critiques extend to Colombia itself, where he labeled the country as dangerous.
This statement seems ironic, especially when considering the UK’s own issues regarding safety and treatment of minorities.
It raises eyebrows when UK media outlets point fingers at other nations while failing to acknowledge their own shortcomings.
The underlying resentment from some UK media figures towards Harry and Meghan’s international invitations is palpable.
Whenever the Sussexes are welcomed abroad, there appears to be a concerted effort to undermine those countries and their intentions.
Yet, the world is watching, and this treatment of the couple does not go unnoticed.
As countries like Colombia embrace Harry and Meghan, it becomes increasingly clear that the narrative being spun by critics is losing traction.
Support for the Sussexes remains strong, and no amount of negative press seems to sway public opinion against them.
The reality is that their story continues to resonate, and their impact is undeniable.
In the face of ongoing criticism, Harry and Meghan appear to be carving out a path that aligns with their values and aspirations.
The narrative surrounding them may be fraught with challenges, but their ability to connect with people worldwide remains unshaken.
Their journey is far from over, and as they continue to share their story, it will be fascinating to see how the public responds.
