AMANDA PLATELL: Harry and Meghan's latest act was nauseating - I can't recall anything more miscalculated

Who is Harry to lecture anyone connected ‘weak motivation character’?

The Duke of Sussex's evident swipe astatine Donald Trump was utterly tin-eared, adjacent for a antheral of the prince’s stupidity and arrogance.

He made the thinly-veiled disapproval about ‘weak motivation character’ successful beforehand of an assemblage of 40,000 astatine the opening of the Invictus Games, aft the President’s declaration that Meghan is what galore of america judge her to beryllium - ‘she’s terrible’.

Why did Harry take the infinitesimal helium was launching the 2025 Games successful Canada to deed back? He should person been focusing connected each the veterans involved. He was determination to observe sporting heroes who’d suffered debilitating injuries, not to broadcast his petty vendettas to the world.

Insiders astatine the Games were reportedly aggravated and upset, complaining the Duke and Duchess of Sussex ‘continuously insert themselves into the spotlight’ astatine the Games.

That’s hardly a surprise. For this is the benignant of behaviour we person travel to expect from Harry. Behaviour, ironically, that has consistently shown he’s the 1 with anemic motivation character.

After all, the precocious Queen’s grandson abandoned the Royal Family successful a acceptable of pique, causing his adoring grandma Elizabeth II successful her last years to beryllium plagued by symptom and controversy. He and Megs adjacent accused immoderate of Granny’s household of being racist. How despicably debased tin you get?

But it didn’t extremity there. Led connected by Meghan, helium betrayed not conscionable his grandparents but William and Kate, arsenic good arsenic his begetter and Camilla, with his hateful memoir Spare and that venegeful Oprah interview.

The repercussions of Harry’s attacks connected his kin and the Crown were truthful devastating that determination was a clip erstwhile galore thought it could herald the extremity of the monarchy.

What benignant of quality indulges successful specified spiteful, self-pitying, loathsome behaviour - but 1 with anemic morals?

Indeed what benignant of motivation quality has Harry really shown astatine each successful caller years arsenic helium trashed the household name? 

I’m definite it took large motivation spot to tally disconnected with Meghan to the States to onslaught an £80million woody with Netflix - not forgetting the £22 cardinal Harry got for Spare - and monetise the royal presumption helium claims to despise! All truthful that helium could and Megs could unrecorded successful splendour successful a mansion successful Montecito valued astatine £23.5 million.

He should person resisted the impulse to sermonise astatine the Games. Because each helium has done by talking of ‘low motivation character’ is gully attraction to his and Megs’ egregious failings.

Clearly the Sussexes did not instrumentality immoderate media oregon reputational proposal from anyone earlier Harry’s whack astatine the President. It’s pathetic - similar a prawn taking connected a large achromatic shark.

But then, arsenic Vanity Fair mag said precocious successful a devastating nonfiction which labelled them American Hustlers, this mates won’t instrumentality proposal from anyone. They judge truthful utterly successful their ain self-righteousness that those who situation to connection a antithetic sentiment are shown the door.

Any fool could person told Harry that taking connected the American president connected a signifier beamed to millions worldwide was unwise to accidental the least. Any sensible idiosyncratic would person warned the mates not to marque it each astir themselves.

Yet from the infinitesimal a gushing Duchess of Sussex introduced Harry, it was wide they had decided to bash conscionable this. 

We had a fawning Meghan making doe eyes portion looking up astatine him, clutching his limb and grabbing his look for a precise nationalist kiss. No photo-op went unmissed.

Megs was determined that she and their emotion matter would instrumentality centre-stage, immoderate we thought astir the heroic men and pistillate this lawsuit was really celebrating. In each my galore years arsenic a writer and erstwhile governmental rotation doctor, I cannot callback a much miscalculated and nauseating nationalist show of affection.

Only a antheral with debased motivation quality would deliberation the motorboat of the Invictus Games an due level to prehend the docket for himself and his voraciously ambitious wife.

A elder Invictus Games unpaid told the Mail that Harry’s code was a ‘woke’ distraction that would not beryllium welcomed by wounded, injured, and sick subject unit astatine the event.

Another root emphasised that veterans rejected the couple’s stance, stating: ‘Unlike them, veterans and their families bash not spot themselves arsenic victims.’

The unpaid added that they were ‘overshadowing the veterans who should beryllium astatine the centre of it all. This lawsuit should beryllium astir the veterans, not a royal spectacle...there is simply a increasing vexation implicit however Harry and Meghan person dominated the narrative.’

How appalling it is that Harry seems to person to hijacked the ceremonial successful this way.

If helium and Meghan can’t spot however profoundly inappropriate it was, it is their problem. And 1 which brings into question not conscionable Harry’s ain quality - but whether the mates person a motivation compass astatine all.
