Critics of Harry and Meghan point out double standards in William’s public appearance despite Kate’s illness.

As the old saying goes, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. In this case, Prince William might be the goose, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are likely the ganders. “So ok for Kate’s husband and son to go to football matches and ok for William and [Carole] to go to the pub, ok for the rest of the RF to go on luxury holidays, but Meghan should wear sackcloth and put her business activities on hold because Kate is ill?” one X user tweeted. Meanwhile, another wrote, “His wife is getting cancer treatment, but he’s going to a match, and he gets beers with his mother-in-law. Meanwhile Meghan shouldn’t breathe too loud because it’s insensitive for sick Kate. The people on that island have lost it.”

ICYMI, Deadline reported on April 11 that Harry and Meghan have two new exciting Netflix projects on the horizon. The first project will revolve around Meghan’s love of “cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship.” Think: hostess with the mostess vibes. The second project, it’s all about professional polo, a sport near and dear to Harry, so that totally tracks, too! 

Unfortunately, the timing is not great. “The British Press want Harry and Meghan to stop everything because Kate is battling cancer. Are they allowed to breathe?” one fan asked. TBD, we suppose. One thing is for certain: there’s no royal handbook for something like this.
