Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly facing backlash for attempting to carry out royal duties even though they are no longer working royals. As per a new report, Harry sparked controversy after making a surprise appearance at a Remembrance Sunday service. Critics have blamed him for trying to overshadow King Charles, Prince William and Kate Middleton.
What sources claim about Harry’s potential future in the monarchy
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly facing criticism for trying to establish an alternative monarchy to counter King Charles. As per a report by Parade, the Duke of Sussex attended a Remembrance Sunday service in Brackley, Northamptonshire, on November 8. This was reportedly a couple of hours after the King and Prince William participated in the national ceremony at London’s Cenotaph.
Harry, a former British Army officer, wore his medals and stood quietly among the locals for the solemn occasion. However, Daily Mail editor Richard Eden berated the Duke of Sussex’s latest appearance. Eden accused Harry and Meghan of creating an “alternative royal family.”
The royal expert branded the Prince’s appearance as a “provocation.” Eden further stated: “This illustrates all the fears I’ve expressed repeatedly on this programme about this alternative royal family. They’re trying to do events, and I think it actively undermines the Royal Family, and I think that’s a big problem.”
However, royal insiders have argued that Harry should be welcomed back as he could be an asset to the Royal Family. The Sussexes made an impressive appearance in Brussels, where they spoke about online harm due to the dangers of social media. Royal insiders argued that despite everything, Harry still enjoys a massive fan following among the masses, and the Royal Family can capitalize on that.
A source shared with Radar Online: “There is an increasingly persuasive argument that Harry has far more to offer the royal family than he does operating permanently outside it.” Royal insiders claimed that Harry has the ability to connect with the general public, along with “spontaneity,” great energy and a sense of humour. According to the royal source, these qualities make him well-suited to the role of a working royal.
