Meghan Markle and Prince Harry given nicknames by critics after Australia tour, per source
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s alleged nicknames after their Australia tour have drawn attention. Sources told RadarOnline that they were branded “the Duke and Duchess of the Dollar.” Moreover, the trip was called “Meghan’s business trip” and “the Great Sussexes’ misery tour.”
An insider said, “There is a perception that Harry’s messaging is heavy and deeply personal, but sits awkwardly alongside the commercial aspects of the trip. That contrast is what is fueling these nicknames and criticism.”
They referred to the 41-year-old’s speech at the InterEdge Summit in Melbourne. Speaking about the late Princess Diana, he said, “After my mom died just before my 13th birthday, I was like, ‘I don’t want this job. I don’t want this role wherever this is headed, I don’t like it.’ It killed my mom, and I was very much against it, and I stuck my head in the sand for years and years.” He also mentioned changing his perspective and decided to make the most of his resources and privileges.
Meanwhile, Markle was criticized for sharing her own story and experience while speaking about online abuse at Swinburne University of Technology. According to another insider, critics raised questions about their “intent and image” by heavily leaning into “personal narratives.” Furthermore, one tipster suggested that these brutal nicknames allegedly highlighted public opinion. It’s said to be “particularly when advocacy, personal storytelling, and monetization intersect so visibly.”
