Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Mocked After Making Time100 List: 'No Compassion' For Family

KEY POINTS

  • José Andrés wrote that Harry and Meghan have "compassion for the people they don't know" in his tribute for the couple
  • Some critics claimed the Sussexes' compassion doesn't include people close to them
  • Fans were happy to see the couple on Time's most influential people list and said they inspired many with their charity work

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's critics were not impressed after the couple made Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World list.

On Wednesday, Time released the full roster of honorees, along with the seven worldwide covers shot for the special 2021 Time100 edition. In one of the covers, the Duchess of Sussex wears a white shirt with matching high-waisted trousers, while the Duke of Sussex leans on her shoulder in an all-black outfit.

"In a world where everyone has an opinion about people they don't know, the duke and duchess have compassion for the people they don't know. They don't just opine. They run toward the struggle," chef José Andrés, founder of World Central Kitchen, wrote about the couple. 

However, some Twitter users mocked Prince Harry and Markle, claiming their compassion doesn't include people close to them. Some pointed out their lack of relationship with her estranged father, Thomas Markle, and rumored strained relationship with the royal family.


"Shame they don’t have compassion for the people they DO know," one Twitter user commented.
