Prince Harry Accused Of PR Stunt; Duke Just Fixing ‘Washed-Up Reputation’?

Prince Harry retracing Princess Diana’s footsteps in a minefield is deemed a PR stunt.

The Duke of Sussex followed what his mom Princess Diana did in Angola by walking in a landmine. Many were impressed with what the duke did. However, some felt that he only did it to rebuild his tarnished reputation.

“PR stunt. Total bullocks! He’s just trying to fix his washed up reputation,” one netizen wrote on Twitter.

“It’s seems all rather more of a PR stunt. They require 350 million to clear all the moves by the date given. If all their very rich friends donated it could be done. But it’s left to the little workers to donate instead. IMO,” a different user added.

Many online users also said that what Prince Harry did was “staged” and “nonsense.” In an online forum Quora, a netizen asked if the minefield was totally safe when Prince Harry channeled Princess Diana and walked through it. A number of netizens agreed that the minefield was safe.

“Yes, it was perfectly safe. Those mines were all deactivated, the idea was to draw the attention to the mines not risk blowing up a prominent member of the Royal Family. So yes, the minefield was totally safe, safer than walking in downtown USA or any London High Street as it happens,” one netizen commented.

Another said that it was safe and it is unlikely for them to risk blowing up a member of the royal family in front of a bunch of press and cameras. Also, it was totally safe when Princess Diana walked through the minefield.

Prince Harry and Markle were heavily criticized for their lifestyle. Many slammed them after learning that they used the taxpayers’ money to fund Frogmore Cottage in Windsor while living like private individuals by keeping their baby’s details from the public.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also received an intense backlash for taking four private flights in 11 days while campaigning for the environment. The public were furious that they do not practice what they preach.
