Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond has shared her perspective on Prince Harry’s intelligence following recent criticism labeling him as less bright. Bond believes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have navigated their post-royal life successfully despite some setbacks. On the other hand, royal expert Tina Brown criticized the couple’s decisions, particularly Meghan’s professional missteps. However, Bond refutes claims that Harry lacks intelligence, emphasizing his strengths as a public figure.
In response to criticisms of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s career paths, Bond highlighted their successes in various endeavors, acknowledging the challenges they faced while establishing themselves outside the royal fold. She commended Meghan for her humility in acknowledging mistakes and willingness to learn from them. Bond mentioned that the couple appears content with their current roles, with Meghan focusing on entrepreneurship and influence, and Harry dedicating himself to charitable causes dear to him.
While some have scrutinized the couple’s choices since stepping away from royal duties, Bond expressed admiration for their settled and happy demeanor in their new Californian life. She emphasized that the couple seems to have found their niche in both business and charity work, creating a fulfilling existence for their family. Bond concluded by questioning why anyone should begrudge them their newfound happiness and success.
