Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s attendance at the Brussels event allegedly didn’t impress royal fans. According to a poll, most people didn’t think the Sussexes should travel the world to deliver speeches. According to them, the non-working royals might “not be qualified” to interact with the public on serious topics. For those unversed, the couple attended the opening of the Lost Screen Memorial at the European Parliament on November 10.
Royal fans don’t think Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are ‘qualified to speak on any subject,’ per poll
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent tour to Brussels raised many questions. The Daily Express UK ran a poll, asking royal fans: “Should Prince Harry and Meghan make speeches around the world?”
Although the Sussexes are not considered royals, the couple has continued their charitable work for several causes that interest them. One of them included attending the Lost Screen Memorial that honored the children who died due to online harm.
At the event, Harry delivered the keynote speech while Markle accompanied him. However, royal fans reportedly think the Sussexes should not be given a platform to speak publicly. The poll, which ran from the morning of November 10 to November 12, revealed that 97% of people voted no. They didn’t want Markle and Harry to make speeches around the world.
Furthermore, 2% were in favor, while 1% were unsure whether the couple should deliver public speeches. The outlet also added a few users’ comments. One said, “What makes them experts in anything? I don’t understand why anyone would want to listen to either of them.”
Another commented, “They are private citizens who are not qualified to speak on any subject.” Moreover, some noted that they didn’t care if the Sussexes made speeches, unless and until they did so on “behalf of Britain, or even the royal family.” Many argued that Markle and Harry can make their own choices and give speeches, and it’s up to people whether they want to listen.
