Switch Sides: King Charles Featured as Time 100 Icon, Meghan’s Interview Cancelled
The US mainstream media seems to be shifting its support away from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
In a surprising turn of events, Time magazine featured King Charles as a Time 100 icon while cancelling an interview with Meghan, his ex-friend.
This raises the question: will more of the US media stop blindly propping up the overseas couple?
Last year, the 2021 Time 100 list featured Meghan and Harry.
However, this year, the spotlight is on King Charles, who is being recognized as a Time 100 icon.
The write-up for this prestigious honor was done by British Vogue's editor-in-chief, Edward Eninfel.
It's worth noting that Eninfel is an influential VIP and a global ambassador for the Prince's Trust, an organization that Meghan had tried to establish a connection with.
This recent development implicitly confirms that any link between Eninfel and Meghan Markle has completely ended.
Despite the promise of an exclusive Time 100 interview for Meghan, she has not only received no response thus far but has also been removed from the list of the 100 most influential people.
Perhaps Meghan's embarrassing stunt at the 2018 British Fashion Awards played a role in hindering her attempts to cultivate an influential relationship with Eninfel.
It appears that British Vogue, or at least Eninfel, is interested in having members of the royal family occasionally pose for them or engage in conversations.
Interestingly, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, is rumored to replace Meghan on Time's upcoming cover.
This comes as no surprise, given Kate's previous appearance on the 100th anniversary issue.
Additionally, King Charles himself participated in a video discussion with Edward during the lockdown, focusing on supporting local talent and sustainable fashion.
King Charles' inclusion on Time's list of the 100 most influential people of 2023 is a testament to his work with the Prince's Trust and his efforts to modernize the monarchy.
Edward Eninfel, in his piece for Time, commends the King's dedication to providing steady employment for his friends and family through the charity, particularly during his upbringing in West London.
Eninfel, who became a global ambassador of the Prince's Trust in 2021, highlights his close collaboration with the King over the past decade.
The Prince's Trust, a charity established by the then Prince of Wales in 1976, has diligently worked to provide opportunities and support to individuals aged 11 to 30 from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Its outreach programs have inspired many and instilled confidence in those seeking employment.
Eninfel's foreword beautifully portrays Charles as a man who has meticulously crafted his reputation as a representative of all his subjects through decades of work and genuine interest.
In contrast, Meghan's vague references to the “family” and “society” in her recent controversial interview haven't aged well.
Eninfel suggests that she should have named a specific person as the subject of her criticism.
He praises Charles for not allowing his privilege to shield him from the hardships faced by others, even when these issues were not in the public eye.
According to Eninfel, the King consistently approaches people with an open mind and a listening ear.
He describes Charles as charming, funny, socially confident, and kind-hearted, always striving to put others at ease.
