Roasted: Twitter Users Mock Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Time 100 Cover
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have once again found themselves at the receiving end of online trolling.
The couple's new Time 100 cover, released on Wednesday, has been met with criticism on Twitter, with users comparing their poses to those seen in popular comedy films.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were named among this year's most influential people by the magazine, thanks to their compassion for strangers and their willingness to confront public and media criticism head-on.
However, the cover image has sparked a wave of jokes and comparisons.
Twitter users questioned the decision behind the shot, asking if Prince Harry was standing or sitting, and why he appeared to be holding onto Meghan's shoulder.
“Why would you make such lovely looking people look like this?”
one user wondered.
Another commented, “It's like he's cowering behind her.”
One user even compared the cover picture to the poster of the 2008 comedy Step Brothers, featuring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly.
The resemblance between the two images prompted the user to caption the post with, “This cover is giving me Step Brothers vibes.”
Not only did the cover receive backlash on social media, but conservative TV host Candace Owen also took to Twitter to voice her disapproval.
Owen referred to Prince Harry as “emasculated and pathetic,” expressing her disdain for the couple and labeling them as “just so pathetic.”
In addition to the criticism, fans noticed that Prince Harry's bald spot had seemingly disappeared in the Time magazine cover shoot.
Speculation arose that his hair had been photoshopped or that he may have undergone hair transplant treatment.
Royal expert Angela Levin confirmed the alteration, stating, “They've also done something about his hair because he's got much more hair in the photograph.”
The images of Harry and Meghan were captured by photographer Per Adukovic at their luxurious $11 million mansion in California.
The cover image portrays the couple against a backdrop of trees, with Meghan elegantly dressed in white and Harry contrasting in black.
Other photos show them posing by a window frame and walking hand-in-hand through their home's grounds.
While some fans expressed pride in the couple's inclusion on the Time 100 list, they also voiced their disappointment with the photos.
Many believed the images had been overly retouched, giving them an artificial and CGI-like appearance.
One fan commented, “There is no hiding who's in control,” while another remarked that the photo looked “overly photoshopped and fake.”
Despite the mixed reactions to their Time 100 cover, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle remain humbled by their inclusion on the prestigious list.
In the magazine, they are profiled by chef Jose Andres, further highlighting their influence and impact on society.
In conclusion, the Time 100 cover featuring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has sparked a wave of criticism and comparisons on Twitter.
While some users mocked the couple's poses, others questioned the authenticity of the images.
However, amidst the backlash, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain grateful for their recognition as influential figures.
