Deep dives
Prince Harry and Meghan's Charity Work
Prince Harry and Meghan recently attended a charity event in Santa Barbara. The event, hosted by Kevin Costner, raised funds for 1805, a local organization that provides mental health support for first responders. By participating in such events and mingling with successful individuals, Harry and Meghan aim to counter the perception that they are overexposed and only complain about their privileged lives. Their involvement in charitable causes allows them to demonstrate care and lead by example.
King Charles' Climate Change Efforts
King Charles and Queen Camilla recently conducted a state visit to France, focusing on climate change and international cooperation. Charles received a hero's welcome in Paris for being the first British royal to address the French Parliament. He emphasized the need to protect the world from global warming and its destructive effects. However, his visit drew criticism as he flew into Paris by private jet instead of using a more environmentally friendly option like the Eurostar train. This raised questions about the alignment between Charles' environmental message and his personal actions.
Meghan Markle's Podcasting Journey
Meghan Markle has abandoned her copyright application for her podcast, Archewell Audio. The podcast, which debuted in 2020, tackled various topics and featured celebrity guests. However, the collapse of the Spotify deal and other challenges led to the discontinuation of Archewell Audio. It is unlikely that Meghan will return to the same concept, as she had seemingly lost interest in it towards the end of its run. If Meghan continues podcasting in the future, it is expected that she will explore new concepts and branding.
