Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond has praised Prince Harry’s intelligence, contradicting a recent harsh assessment labeling him as “not the brightest bulb.” Bond highlighted that Harry, along with Meghan Markle, has charted their own successful path post-exit from royal duties. On the other hand, royal expert Tina Brown criticized the couple’s professional decisions, particularly pointing out Meghan’s alleged mistakes.
Brown’s critical remarks were countered by Bond, who emphasized Harry’s accomplishments as a public figure despite not being academically inclined. Bond referenced Princess Diana’s similar portrayal and defended Harry’s capabilities. Regarding the couple’s post-royal career choices, Bond acknowledged initial challenges but noted their eventual success in various endeavors.
As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex embrace their new life in California, Bond commended their adaptability and contentment with their roles. Meghan’s entrepreneurial spirit and Harry’s charitable work were highlighted as key focuses for the couple, leading to a settled and happy lifestyle. Bond concluded by questioning any objections to the couple’s newfound happiness and achievements.
