OPINION: IF MEGHAN MARKLE REALLY WANTED TO ‘DO HUMBLE’, SHE WOULD AVOID THE CAMERAS
Writing for the Daily Express, commentator Carole Malone delivered a scathing critique challenging the narrative that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are pursuing a quiet, unassuming life following their relocation to the UK, while raising sharp questions regarding national policing decisions and domestic fiscal priorities.
The Claridge’s Photo-Op: Curated Humility Under Scrutiny
While public relations statements insist the Duchess of Sussex seeks to keep a low profile, maintain social media distance, and make peace with the British public, Malone argues that Meghan’s recent public engagement outside Mayfair’s upscale Claridge’s hotel indicates otherwise.
Meeting alongside Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai, Meghan was captured by street photographers dressed in a meticulously assembled £26,000 designer ensemble accompanied by a luxury Chanel handbag:
“Now who told photographers she was going to be there I wonder? But how fortunate they were to record the event as it polishes Meghan’s battered credentials as a do-gooder and a ‘decent person’. Of course, had she really wanted to ‘do’ humble and keep a low profile she could have met Malala INSIDE the hotel where there would have been no photographers!”
Malone equally dismissed Prince Harry’s recent MasterClass revelation that he endured a two-week depressive episode following his 2019 move to Canada, labeling his commentary predictable public venting.
Pressing Questions on National Security and Public Spending
Malone’s column further tackled three contentious socio-political developments:
-
The Dropped Arson Investigation at Nigel Farage’s Residence: Following allegations that Joshua Kerry—the suspect accused of murdering Ann Widdecombe—also attempted to set fire to Nigel Farage’s family home, Malone questioned why police previously shelved the investigation into the Farage incident, demanding full transparency regarding potential political interference.

-
Controversy Over the £1 Billion Energy Bailout: Criticizing Chancellor John Healey’s newly announced £1 billion energy bill support package tailored specifically for welfare recipients, Malone argued the policy penalizes hard-working taxpaying households struggling to manage escalating mortgages and household expenses.
-
EU Parliament’s Naked Trump Display: Describing Danish artist Jens Galschiøt’s grotesque golden statue of a naked Donald Trump displayed inside the European Parliament as childish and disrespectful, Malone characterized the exhibition as an embarrassing stunt reflecting the institutional dysfunction of Brussels officials.
