Has there ever been a more ill-timed bid for publicity as Harry & Meghan’s? – The Sun
Wince Harry
QUITE the contrast, isn’t it?
There’s William and Kate, supporting the NHS, speaking to frontline staff and publicly voicing their fears for the Queen, Prince Charles and the future of our country.

There’s Her Majesty herself, assuring the nation in that historic TV address that better days will return.
There’s her husband Prince Philip, nearly 99 now but interrupting his retirement to hail all those keeping our society afloat, from vaccine researchers to binmen.
There’s Charles, back to work so soon after his coronavirus bout. And Camilla, working from home for the Royal Voluntary Service after self-isolating.
Senior royals, admirably doing their duty in the gravest crisis for 80 years.
Give now to The Sun's NHS appeal
BRITAIN’s four million NHS staff are on the frontline in the battle against coronavirus.
But while they are helping save lives, who is there to help them?
The Sun has launched an appeal to raise £1MILLION for NHS workers.
The Who Cares Wins Appeal aims to get vital support to staff in their hour of need.
We have teamed up with NHS Charities Together in their urgent Covid-19 Appeal to ensure the money gets to exactly who needs it.
The Sun is donating £50,000 and we would like YOU to help us raise a million pounds, to help THEM.
No matter how little you can spare, please donate today here

And then there’s Harry and Meghan, mansion-shopping in celebrity-packed Tinseltown — as was always their plan despite all the guff about Africa, Canada, the Commonwealth and being driven out of Britain.
A couple blinded by their sense of entitlement, claiming to crave privacy yet desiring above all the gilded lives of their A-list celebrity friends, flying around on private jets and making millions as effortlessly as possible.
They say they believe in a free Press holding power to account. In fact Harry and Meghan want a Press that holds others to account, but simply regurgitates THEIR PR handouts.
When their hypocrisy is exposed by newspapers, they turn on their readers.

So now they have vowed never to speak to the popular Press again.
Perversely, the papers singled out are exactly those most supportive of the monarchy — and whose readers were the couple’s biggest fans before they turned their backs on royal life.
But it will have no real impact on stories being covered in the British media.
It merely disqualifies Harry and Meghan from putting their side to any story, which is the sole reason reporters contact their PR team. How do they imagine that will pan out?
And has there ever been a more craven or ill-timed bid for publicity, with Britain and the world united in a battle against this killer virus?
1M JOBS LIFELINE
THERE’S not much to celebrate at present. But one million jobs were saved on Monday.
Rishi Sunak’s furlough scheme to pay 80 per cent of wages for those currently unable to work had applications from 140,000 firms on its first day alone.
That is a lifeline for families all over Britain. But we would say this to the Chancellor: Be straight with the public over what all this will cost.
Too many think the Government can fund this bailout until the virus burns itself out or a vaccine arrives. It cannot.
And every penny will have to be paid back, over decades, by taxpayers.
Mr Sunak has warned of hardship ahead. Too few grasp just how hard it will be.
