Ticketmaster, the world’s leading ticketing platform, has made a surprising announcement regarding the highly anticipated Archwell 2024 Summit.
The global event, organized by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, is set to take place in Los Angeles in July 2024.
The summit aims to bring together leaders, activists, celebrities, and influencers to discuss and promote the couple’s vision of a more compassionate and connected world.
However, Ticketmaster has decided to distance itself from the controversial couple, citing ethical and logistical reasons for their refusal to be involved in the event.
A spokesperson for Ticketmaster expressed their stance, stating, “We respect the right of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to pursue their own agenda, but we do not share their values or their approach.
We have a responsibility to our customers, partners, and employees to uphold the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.”
They further explained that they do not wish to associate themselves with an event that is likely to generate negative publicity, controversy, and backlash.
This decision from Ticketmaster delivers a significant blow to Harry and Meghan’s ambitions, as it signals a lack of support and trust from one of the most influential players in the entertainment industry.
It also raises concerns about the viability and credibility of the Archwell 2024 Summit, which has already faced criticism and skepticism from various quarters.
Among the critics are royal experts who accuse Harry and Meghan of hypocrisy and opportunism.
They argue that the couple is using their royal status to advance their personal interests and agenda while distancing themselves from the duties and obligations of the monarchy.
These experts also highlight the irony of the couple’s claim to champion compassion and connection while alienating and attacking their own family and the British public.
Social media users have also expressed their disdain and disgust for Harry and Meghan’s actions and motives.
On Twitter, the hashtag #BeCotterchwell has been trending, with many users calling for a boycott of the summit and any related products or services.
Meanwhile, the subreddit r/StMeghanMarcle on Reddit has been flooded with posts mocking and ridiculing the couple’s initiative, with some labeling it as a cult, a scam, and a joke.
It is worth noting that the Archwell 2024 Summit is not the only project launched by Harry and Meghan under their Archwell Foundation, established in 2020 after their step back from senior royal duties.
The couple has also signed lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify to produce and host content that reflects their values and causes.
However, these deals have received mixed reactions, with some praising the couple for their creativity and entrepreneurship, while others accuse them of exploiting their fame and privilege for financial gain.
As of now, Harry and Meghan have not responded to Ticketmaster’s announcement or the criticism and backlash they have faced.
However, they have previously stated that they are unbothered by negative opinions and remain focused on the positive impact they can make through their work.
They have expressed pride in their Archwell 2024 Summit and their excitement to share it with the world.
The success or failure of the Archwell 2024 Summit remains uncertain.
