Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Foundation labelled ‘delinquent’

If there is one thing that Harry and Meghan excel at, it is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Their much-hyped trip to Nigeria – a royal visit in all but name – had, from their perspective, gone exceptionally well. Not only did Harry manage to deliver a well-received speech about mental health to a group of students, but the pair were besieged by admirers and well-wishers everywhere they went, all desperate for a selfie, a handshake or a hug. Little wonder, then, that Meghan – never shy about jumping on a bandwagon or seizing an opportunity – solemnly declared that she had taken a DNA test that revealed that she was 43 per cent Nigerian, which she took as the ultimate compliment: ‘It is a compliment to you because what they define as a Nigerian woman is brave, resilient, courageous, beautiful.’ All seemed perfect. And then the pair’s charity was publicly castigated as delinquent, and the dream unravelled.
