There’s that well-known saying of ‘anything you can do, I can do better’. In what can only be an attempt to upstage the official Royal Family’s latest offering, this seems to be the credo of Harry and Meghan as they release a new, wholly vainglorious video showing the ‘impact’ of the Archewell foundation in 2023. If you’ve ever seen a teenager create a flashy ‘what I did on my holidays’ clip that is clearly designed to go viral on social media, you’ll have a good idea of what to expect from this entirely immodest offering.
Over a tinkly would-be power anthem that begins with the lyrics ‘Over the hills and far away/Looking out for a better day’ – remind you of anyone else living in a land far, far away? – we see clips of Harry and Meghan laughing and hugging a succession of people who look suitably overawed to be in their presence.
