The internet has erupted in a whirlwind of criticism following the release of a CBS Sunday Morning interview featuring the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Just moments after the video hit the web, social media was flooded with reactions, many of which pointed fingers at what some are calling the couple’s blatant hypocrisy.
In their candid conversation with CBS, Harry and Meghan expressed their desire to shield their children from the harsh glare of public scrutiny.
They articulated a heartfelt wish for their kids to grow up away from the relentless attention that comes with royal status.
But this sentiment didn’t sit well with all viewers, especially given the couple’s own high-profile lifestyle.
Anticipation is building for a new project from the Prince and Princess of Wales, who have also been vocal about the importance of safeguarding children’s interactions on social media.
Their initiative is set to launch next week, and it appears they are keen to address some of the very issues raised by the Sussexes.
However, the juxtaposition of these two royal couples has not gone unnoticed.
Critics on X (formerly Twitter) were quick to pounce on what they saw as a glaring contradiction.
One user even went so far as to label the Sussexes’ fanbase as “absolutely disgusting,” emphasizing the perceived double standards in their narrative.
