The news of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s award has generated a lot of mistrust. Richard Eden, the Daily Mail’s diary editor, admitted as much to host Jo Elvin.

He began by criticising the Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award for being “suspect,” saying,  “Sorry, I don’t want to be too suspicious but it does make you if they’ve cooked up this sort of prize.”

“It comes, I think, four days after William and Catherine are in Boston, you know as you say, for getting involved with the JFK library and getting the Earthshot prize, or giving it out, announcing it.”

“Then, you know, something for Harry and Meghan a few days later. It all seems a bit weird. As if it has got caught up in, sort of, Kennedy politics.”

“Cynics might say, not me, that they wanted Harry and Meghan at this prestigious [and] getting this award and they had to think of a way to make that something,” the host interjected.

“Clearly it’s got them lots of attention, we’re all talking about it and maybe that’s what they want,” Mr. Eden observed.

“[Maybe] they want, you know, attention for their organisation, so good luck to them. But, I don’t think we really need to pay too much attention to this, you know, so-called human rights award.”
