Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been recognized for their courageous stance against structural racism within the royal family.<\/p>\n

The couple will be honored at the upcoming Ripple of Hope gala in New York City, according to an announcement made by Kerry Kennedy, daughter of Robert F. Kennedy.<\/p>\n

However, not everyone is convinced that this award is well-deserved.<\/p>\n

During a conversation on Fox Business, royal commentator Neil Sean expressed his skepticism about the awards, calling them a “shambles” and “misguided.”<\/p>\n

Host Ashley Webster sarcastically praised the couple’s bravery, emphasizing that the honor would not heal the rift between Harry and the royal family.<\/p>\n

Sean further criticized the decision, suggesting that the award should have been given for their performance in the Oprah Winfrey interview rather than for their stance against racism.<\/p>\n

He also highlighted another issue: the high price of tickets for the gala.<\/p>\n

It has been reported that guests who wish to sit at the main table with the Sussexes will have to pay up to \u00a3840,000.<\/p>\n

Royal author Angela Levin cautioned that Harry and Meghan may be getting too ambitious for their own good.<\/p>\n

Talk TV presenter Mike Graham remarked that people are becoming fed up with the couple, even in America.<\/p>\n

Levin added that their behavior, coupled with what many perceive as a growing arrogance, has led to a loss of public support.<\/p>\n

The news of the award comes after earlier reports of empty seats during Harry’s speech at the United Nations for Nelson Mandela Day.<\/p>\n

The decision to honor the couple has raised eyebrows among experts and fans alike.<\/p>\n

Many question whether the Kennedys, often referred to as America’s royal family, should be rewarding the Sussexes for their treatment of Harry and Meghan’s own relatives.<\/p>\n

Adding to the controversy, it has been revealed that the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Foundation, which is bestowing the award, distributed only $300,000 in grants despite receiving $43 million in contributions in 2018.<\/p>\n

The organization’s president, Kerry Kennedy, received a salary of $555,000 that same year, almost twice the amount given in grants.<\/p>\n

Documents published by the US Internal Revenue Service show that the charity’s income significantly decreased in subsequent years, but Kennedy’s salary remained consistent.<\/p>\n

In addition to her generous pay, she also received $42,000 in other compensation from the organization and related entities.<\/p>\n

The Ripple of Hope award, previously bestowed upon notable figures such as Bill and Hillary Clinton and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, will now be given to the Sussexes.<\/p>\n

However, critics have questioned the rationale behind honoring the couple, suggesting that the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Foundation should reconsider its decision.<\/p>\n
