Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently stepped out in New York for their first joint appearances since the birth of their daughter, Lilibet Diana, on June 4. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended to participate in Global Citizen Live, to promote equal access to the COVID-19 vaccine as well as a reading at a school in Harlem. Royal commentator Katie Nicholl pointed out a notable inconsistency between the outing and the image the couple have wanted to offer the world of themselves.
The couple did face some criticism for the visit, including the fact that they travelled back to Montecito by private jet, after being vocal about the effects of climate change.
Ms Nicholl, the Royal editor of Vanity Fair, spoke about the event on The Royal Beat.
She said: “Turning up at an underprivileged school in Harlem, in a couture coat that costs more than the combined incomes of most of those parents at the school.”
“It doesn’t make any sense. It just shows them to not be in touch.”

The Duchess was slammed for wearing the $5,840 Loro Piana cashmere coat, as she was visiting an underprivileged part of New York.
She also matched the coat with $1,685 wide-leg pants, and red Manolo Blahnik pointed-toe heels.
Royal watchers took to social media after the event, pointing out that the Duchess of Sussex’s suit looked a lot like the one worn by Michael Obama.
There has been widespread speculation that Meghan is looking for a career move into politics, and may even run in the next election.
The Duchess and Harry stepped down from their role as working royals in the British monarchy last year.
When they made the decision, they rescinded their rights to use their HRH titles and stopped receiving public funds for royal duties.
Since moving to Montecito, California, the couple have signed various deals with multiple companies.
Their production deal with major player Netflix, was reportedly around $150 million.
It is also rumoured that Meghan is starting a new skin line with infomercial “guru” Bill Guthy.
The deal is rumoured to be around $200 million.
