Prince William's high-profile appearance at London Climate Action Week on Monday has reignited debate over Meghan Markle's public strategy, with a new opinion piece arguing that the Duchess of Sussex is 'missing a trick' in how she uses her Hollywood connections. Prince William has been more effective than Meghan at turning celebrity links into a consistent, clearly defined philanthropic mission.
The Prince of Wales joined actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Emma Watson at a business forum for The Royal Foundation's United for Wildlife, held as part of the climate-focused week in London. The event also spotlighted William's Earthshot Prize, launched in 2020 to fund solutions to the climate crisis and now a central pillar of his public work. For those who have only half-watched the royal soap opera in recent years, the comparison being drawn is not about whether Meghan cares less, but about whether she has built the same strategic through-line.
