Prince Harry Mocked For Allegedly Choosing Quality Over Quantity: 'So We Got Zero Episodes'
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's popularity was brought into question, as one commentator does not believe they have many projects in the pipeline.
Kinsey Schofield joined Cristo Foufas for Talk TV's "Kinsey's Right Royal Round Up" episode. The TV presenter mentioned an unnamed source who spoke to Us Weekly, saying they were shocked by Markle's popularity. Schofield argued that the magazine "is an outlet that no one respects," that's why they don't quote the outlet. Foufas clarified that the report saw the Duke and Duchess of Sussex "choosing quality over quantity instead of grabbing every opportunity that comes their way." Prince Harry and Markle are reportedly picky regarding projects they want to get involved in.
Schofield seemingly mocked Markle's recent acting return as an intern in a coffee ad, saying, "So that Instagram coffee video is the quality." She also took a jibe at Prince Harry's lack of episodes on their expected podcast.
Markle was the only one who starred in Spotify's "Archetypes," where she interviewed famous personalities, including Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton, Mindy Kaling and Andy Cohen.
"Well, a little bit of that seems probable when you think about the fact that Harry had a multi-million dollar offer on the table with Spotify but couldn't get Putin on the phone to confirm a podcast date or the pope, so nothing came to fruition, you know," Schofield said about the Sussexes choosing projects. "So maybe, maybe Harry really is, you know, wanting to do quality over quantity, so we got zero episodes from solo Harry on Spotify."
Schofield also commented on the various reports about the Sussexes' popularity. According to the "To Di For Daily" royal podcast host, being known doesn't mean one is popular.
"I think that we should clarify that there's a difference between popularity and infamy. OJ Simpson [is] probably very popular in LA too, if we're being serious. You're being recognized is not popularity. You know, it can also be a form of infamy," Schofield explained.
Meanwhile, PR expert Laura Perkes commented on Markle's appearance on Clevr Blends' new coffee ad. According to her, Markle's appearance in a product she's "invested in feels a little self-indulgent." However, she found it to be a smart move.
"It's a smart move to make and will turn the tides on their run of negative press, showing that she's moving on and focussing on a positive future, away from the bombshells that have been dropped in recent months," Perkes added.
