Amal Clooney’s Snub of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Signals a Rift

Amal Clooney's recent appearance at the Prince Trust Awards has raised eyebrows and sparked speculation about her relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Clooney, known for her philanthropic work and esteemed reputation as a human rights lawyer, made some revealing comments about the Sussexes, branding them as perpetual freeloaders and scroungers.

According to Clooney, Meghan had a habit of approaching wealthy individuals at social gatherings, seeking their company and contact information.

In one instance, Harry reached out to Clooney, asking if they could borrow their beach house.

Clooney agreed, but soon realized that it was Meghan who had initiated the request, leaving Harry to make subsequent calls for favors.

This pattern seemed reminiscent of their dealings with Tyler Perry and Elton John.

Clooney also shed light on the couple's strained relationship with streaming giants Netflix and Spotify.

Allegedly, both platforms grew tired of the constant demands and expectations from Harry and Meghan.

It appears that the couple's reliance on freebies became a source of frustration for those around them.

While receiving occasional gifts is one thing, expecting and demanding them as a right is another matter entirely.

In his memoir, Prince Harry himself admitted that Meghan shared the freebies she received, such as clothes, perfumes, and makeup, with her colleagues.

This behavior reportedly continued even after joining the royal family.

Tina Brown, in her book “The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor,” suggests that Meghan actively sought luxury freebies through her blog, The Take, before meeting Harry.

She cultivated a reputation among luxury brand marketers as someone eager to receive designer swag.

Even after marrying into royalty, Meghan allegedly continued her pursuit of freebies from luxury brands.

A publicist claimed to have been copied into a message from Meghan's team, where she requested ongoing gifts.

The publicist was instructed to inform Meghan that she could still send anything her way.

It seems Meghan believed she held a special status and that luxury brands needed her more than she needed them.

This is not the first time questions have been raised about Meghan's acceptance of gifts during her time as a working member of the royal family.

Royal expert Camilla Tomini noted that Meghan initially expected to keep some of the dresses she had borrowed.

However, according to the rules, gifts from businesses in the UK should generally be declined, unless they are offered as souvenirs or for special personal occasions.

The rules also stipulate that if gifts are accepted, it should be on the condition that the business does not exploit them for commercial purposes.

Gifts should be returned unless the cost justifies keeping them.

Unreturned gifts are considered official gifts and are not the private property of the royal recipient but are received on behalf of the monarch.

It is worth mentioning that Harry and Meghan have enjoyed a close relationship with George and Amal Clooney for years, with the Hollywood couple even attending their wedding.

However, recent indications suggest a shift in the Clooneys' support, with their public backing of King Charles.

This further fuels speculation about the state of Harry and Meghan's relationships within their inner circle.

Amal Clooney's remarks and the revelations surrounding Harry and Meghan's pursuit of freebies have raised questions about their understanding of privilege and entitlement.

While it is common for celebrities to receive gifts, it becomes problematic when such expectations overshadow their contributions and obligations.

The incident serves as a reminder that being part of the royal family requires adherence to protocols and a careful balance between personal interests and public responsibilities.
