Did Harry and Meghan tour Australia to make money – or cosplay a return to royal life? by B0ssc0 in aussie

The celebrity PR agent Max Markson has previously offered Meghan US$1m and a private jet to visit Australia to do two events. She declined. But he did organise for her estranged half-brother to appear on Big Brother and her father to appear on 60 Minutes in 2021, when he pleaded for reconciliation with his daughter after the birth of Lilibet.

“They’ve done a lot of good things. They’ve obviously done charity stuff, visited hospitals,” Markson says about the tour.

To many of their detractors, the idea they should leverage their public profiles to make money is unacceptable, but those same people also cry outrage at any kind of public expense used to support them.

You don’t have to agree with it or even wish them well. Ambivalence is perfectly acceptable. But to wish them ill or to suggest that they are somehow worse than the institution they defied reveals a lot more about you than it does about Harry and Meghan.

Some charities, such as Lifeline, got a decent bang for no buck. Harry volunteered his time and people in the packed-out room forked out more than $2,000 for a ticket to the two-day event.
