Harry and Meghan Face Criticism Over NYC Security

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing renewed criticism for using a four-car motorcade, deemed 'absolutely abnormal,' during their visit to New York City for the Time100 Summit, with security arrangements exceeding those of other major celebrities. Public debate has intensified over whether their security costs are justified and if taxpayers are subsidizing them. Meghan's energetic interaction with paparazzi contrasted with Harry's more reserved presence, prompting further questions about the couple's professed desire for privacy. Royal expert Tina Brown criticized the Sussexes for prioritizing financial gain and public exposure, adding that Harry, though he misses his royal role, is unlikely to return to the royal family. Meghan expressed gratitude for her family and happiness during the summit, but scrutiny over the couple's motivations and public persona continues. Their approach to security and media has kept them at the center of controversy regarding fame and privacy.
