EXPLOITATION: Meghan Markle Becomes an “Irritating Irrelevance” | Tom Bower on Sussex Latest

In this episode of Recollections May Vary, Kinsey Schofield and Tom Bower tackle the royal family’s most explosive May headlines, from King Charles reportedly freezing out Andrew Mountbatten Windsor during a Sandringham stay to Meghan Markle’s latest PR controversies dominating international headlines. The investigative author behind “Revenge” and “Betrayal” joins Kinsey to unpack the monarchy’s growing tensions, the Sussexes’ increasingly aggressive media strategy, and why critics believe Harry and Meghan are desperately fighting to change the narrative.

The conversation dives into Meghan Markle’s heavily criticized Geneva appearance after footage revealed rows of empty seats during her speech, sparking accusations that the event was ill-advised. Kinsey and Tom also discuss Meghan’s anniversary social media blitz featuring intimate family photos, which triggered backlash online from critics calling the campaign “desperate” and overly curated. 

Meanwhile, Prince Harry faces criticism of his own after a controversial op-ed on antisemitism drew backlash from Jewish advocacy groups.
