Prince Harry and Meghan Markle can’t buy the public's respect by winning trophies, says royal expert Kinsey Schofield.

Her comment comes after Prince Harry is set to receive the Pat Tillman award, an accolade named after the war hero who quit his NFL career to serve in the US military.

The decision sparked widespread controversy, including backlash from the late soldier’s mother Mary Tillman.

“I see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle accepting more trophies for awards that I don’t understand what they’re for,” Kinsey said on TalkTV.

She added, “I guess they’re trying to buy the public’s respect, they’re trying to buy good PR through networking and creating these opportunities to collect trophies for their mantle, but I think the public sees through these individuals.”

Kinsey also talked about the time Meghan’s podcast "Archetypes" won The People's Choice Award for "The Pop Podcast of 2022."

“How many awards did Meghan accept for her podcast that was canceled and slammed by her own network?. This is all a game to them,” she said.
