It’s not a good time for Meghan Markle or Prince Harry.
First, Markle was labeled by some in Britain as a difficult, demanding, controlling woman.
Speculation then began circulating that Prince Harry may have said something to Prince William about his marriage to Kate Middleton at the time.
and now?
The controversial couple, who retired from royal duties nearly four years ago and moved to California, are said to be looking at private schools in the upmarket Montecito area where they currently live.
Sending your son or daughter to a school like this is expensive. One of the campuses under consideration is It costs more than $40,000 a year.
Of course it’s their money.
And some may think that an ideal use for it would be to educate their children.
But not everyone feels this way.
Take, for example, Lee Cohen, described by In Touch Weekly as a “royal commentator.”
The source harshly criticised Ms Markle and Prince Harry this week, criticising “their dedication to progressive causes”, saying it was “nothing more than a facade”, and elaborated:
“It’s absolutely infuriating to hear that Prince Harry and Meghan, self-described champions of equality and social justice, are even considering sending their children to a prestigious school that is prohibitively expensive.
“Yet they are prepared to pay huge amounts – tens of thousands of dollars a year – for their children’s education. How can this be justified when so many families struggle to even afford basic necessities?”
I mean, look.
Markle and Harry have reportedly been having financial problems for some time.
But as mentioned above, can you afford to send your child to a private school?
We don’t see this as hypocritical: it makes perfect sense to fight for income equality and then be grateful for the things you do well. Also Use the funds you have to make choices that benefit your family.
For people who hold this belief, it’s not about being frugal, it’s about doing all we can to ensure that everyone has the same opportunities and access in life.
Still, Cohen called Harry and Meghan “fraudulent” for considering sending infant Archie and Lilibet to an institution that “perpetuates the very system of privilege they claim to be exposing.”
Meanwhile, several Twitter users came to the defence of the celebrity, who attended private school during his childhood.
“Education is a top priority for Meghan and Harry,” one person wrote, while another added:
“No one should begrudge Prince Harry and Meghan for choosing the school they feel is the safest environment for Prince Archie.”
