Prominent social commentator and anti-racism activist Imran Aden has harshly criticized Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, urging them to go away and go silent following the collapse of their podcasting relationship with Spotify.

Aden, known for her involvement in organizing Black Lives Matter protests in the UK last year, voiced her concerns about the couple’s public image and accused them of exploiting race to gain public support.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Aden echoed the sentiments expressed by Spotify’s head of podcast innovation and monetization, Bill Simmons, who referred to Harry and Meghan as “grifters” after their partnership with the streaming giant ended.

Aden highlighted the couple’s disputed claim during their interview with Oprah Winfrey, where they alleged that a member of the royal family had made racist comments about their future children’s skin color.

She criticized them for using the black community as a tool for support, only to abandon the issue later on.

Aden expressed her disappointment with their actions, stating, “They brought us on that journey with them and then just kind of dumped us at the end.

They used us.”

Discussing the impact of the Spotify revelation on Harry and Meghan’s public image, Jack Royston, chief royal correspondent for Newsweek, suggested that there might be a way for them to rehabilitate themselves if they chose a different path.

He acknowledged that their projects had garnered significant attention and generated revenue for platforms like Spotify and Netflix.

However, Royston advised the couple to abandon their negative messaging and cease complaining.

He proposed that they could regain favor by returning to traditional royal activities, such as attending charity events and presenting a positive image.

In response to Royston’s suggestion, Aden firmly disagreed, stating that Harry and Meghan simply needed to go away.

She emphasized the contradiction in their behavior, noting that they had talked about themselves for three years while simultaneously claiming to desire privacy.

Aden concluded that their dichotomy had led them into their current predicament.

Despite the end of their partnership with Spotify, Harry and Meghan still have a forthcoming major media project.

Their production company, Archwell Productions, in collaboration with Netflix, will release a docuseries called Heart of Invictus this summer.

The series will focus on Harry’s Invictus games and the athletes who participated in the 2022 event in the Netherlands.

While no further content plans have been made public, Meghan’s spokesperson indicated that she was exploring other platforms to connect with her podcast audience.

Some viewers expressed mixed opinions about Aden’s statements.

While they appreciated her willingness to admit when she was wrong, they found it hypocritical for her to backtrack on her support for Harry and Meghan.

They questioned why she had not investigated Meghan’s past before embracing her.

Others believed that Aden felt used by the couple, as she had hoped for a genuine conversation about structural racism and colonialism in the UK.

They criticized Harry and Meghan for exploiting the racism issue, and also held Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, and Tyler Perry accountable for their involvement in promoting the couple’s narrative.

The public opinion in America appears to be shifting back in favor of Harry and Meghan, despite the recent controversies surrounding them.

However, it remains to be seen whether the couple can regain their popularity by adopting a different approach and leaving behind their negative messaging.

As they navigate the aftermath of their collapsed Spotify partnership, Harry and Meghan face the challenge of rebuilding their public image and finding success with their future projects.
