Here's why Harry and Meghan's award made palace aides laugh and cry




Buckingham Palace staff "could either laugh or cry" when news broke that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had accepted an award for their "lifelong commitment" 

to building equitable communities in 2022, a new book has claimed. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were named as recipients of a "Ripple of Hope Award" from the Robert F. 


Kennedy Human Rights Foundation in December 2022, accepting the honor "in recognition of their work on racial justice, mental health, and other social impact initiatives."The couple attended the glamorous New York City awards ceremony amid the anticipatory media fallout for their Netflix docuseries,


 which was set to air its first installment of episodes just two days later. After receiving the award, Harry and Meghan issued a statement through their Archewell foundation which read:


 "Together we know that a ripple of hope can turn into a wave of change."Though fans of the couple celebrated the award win, the decision to name them as recipients raised eyebrows in royal circles, particularly in the context of the life's work performed by Harry's father, the then-Prince Charles,


 biographer Robert Hardman has revealed in his new book, The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy, which was published in Britain on Thursday. Back in Britain, staff who had watched the King bring about his own 'wave of change' over many decades,


 through his Prince's Trust, Business in the Community and multiple other organizations, could either laugh or cry," he wrote of the Ripple of Hope award win. 


 "Even the Sussexes' most fervent admirers would acknowledge that, in its two-year infancy, Archewell had yet to demonstrate a 'lifelong commitment.'" At this time tough, 


December 2022, the palace was reportedly more concerned with what Harry and Meghan might be planning to say, rather than what awards they were planning to accept.
