In a recent social media post, Bethenny Frankel, a reality TV star and entrepreneur, expressed her thoughts on the way Prince Harry and Meghan Markle handled their departure from the royal family. Frankel, known for her straightforwardness, didn't hold back in her critique, questioning the couple's decision-making and the consequences of their actions.
Frankel's comments were made in a TikTok video where she expressed sympathy for the couple's recent challenges but also criticized what she perceived as their inflated self-importance. "How could someone botch something so badly?" she asked, referring to the couple's decision to step down from their royal duties in 2020 and relocate to California.
The reality TV star expressed her bewilderment at the couple's actions, saying, "I can't imagine having so much at your fingertips and letting it all slip away because of living inside your own head." She further questioned the couple's global acceptance speeches, asking, "Why? How do you do every single thing wrong?"
Frankel also touched on the potential implications of a hypothetical split between the couple, stating that such a scenario would be devastating as they are "all that each other has." This comment alludes to the strained relationships both Harry and Meghan have with their respective families.
The reality TV star, who herself has experienced a high-profile divorce, reiterated her astonishment at the couple's handling of their departure from the royal family, stating, "I've never seen a botched job like this in my life."
Frankel didn't stop at critique; she also offered some advice to the couple. She suggested that they should "go away for a long time, and basta and close the mouth." She ended her commentary by labeling the couple as "grifters."
Amid the couple's career setbacks, rumors have circulated that they may attempt to reconnect with the royal family. However, some experts believe the couple's actions have caused too much damage for a reconciliation to be possible. Tom Bower, a royal expert, recently told GB News, "I don't think he can come back. He's caused so much damage to the family and the concern now is that if he does return, he could well damage it even further."
Bower also speculated on Meghan's reaction to a potential return to England, suggesting that she would be horrified at the idea of living in a "small, poky flat in Kensington Palace." He concluded by stating that the couple is experiencing a "crisis of identity, a crisis of purpose, and a crisis of finance," and that they've "hit a brick wall."
