Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are now subject to widespread criticism among the people of the UK, mostly, for their rampant accusations at the royal family. In what was dubbed as ‘Megxit’, the stepping down of the royal couple and their move to the US vastly diminished their public appeal. In a poll by Mail Online, a whopping sixty-one percent of the Brits want Prince Harry out of the line of succession. Furthermore, a vast section also believes that they should no longer be held as royals either.
The Sussexes took the royal family by storm when they levied wide accusations at them, including on King Charles III, Prince William, and even Queen Camilla. In their interview with Oprah Winfrey as well as in Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare, spurious charges run wild.
While the royal quarters have refuted the allegations, it brought their already strained relations to a never-before low. Moreover, the poll also spoke of a staggering seventy-four percent of respondents believing that their tax money should not go to cover the royal couple’s security. Thus, times are verily tumultuous for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Regardless, amidst the scathing British public view, Prince Harry courted a fresh controversy with his latest UK visit.
At the Queen Elizabeth II’s first death anniversary, a royal discord among the Princes
Prince Harry visited the UK early on the morning of Queen Elizabeth II’s first death anniversary. The Prince headed straight to St. George Chapel, the resting place of the late Queen, and offered his respects. However, his visit came mere hours before Prince William and Kate Middleton were to mark a public appearance for the same.
Prince Harry’s private visit to Windsor Palace was widely regarded as a direct snub to the authority commanded by Prince William and King Charles III. Several British newsmakers and broadcasters lambasted Prince Harry for his ‘antics’. Moreover, Prince Harry followed his visit to the Chapel with an appearance and speech at the WellChild Awards 2023.

Regardless, the damage was done. Although being in the same city, the Prince could neither meet his father nor the rest of the family. If anything, his latest visit salted the wounds even further. All of it comes days before the royal couple returns to Europe for the Invictus Games. However, Prince Harry’s expected meeting with King Charles III now projects a bleak prospect of happening.
