Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have once again come under the scrutiny of royal experts and correspondents. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have often faced flak for leaving their subjects back in the United Kingdom and making a life in California. This time around, the Sussexes are being called out for their royal portrait.

Their photographer friend Misan Harriman shared snaps of Harry and Meghan on his official Instagram handle. In the first picture, the couple can be seen holding hands while posing for the camera. Sussex royals looked their stylish best as Meghan donned a red bow blouse and tailored pants, while Harry wore a formal blue suit. The second snap is a black and white portrait that captures their side profile. The two pictures are from the event that Harry and Meghan attended on September 05, 2022, in Manchester. 

Royal expert unhappy with Harry and Meghan

Though the pictures have been posted by Misan, royal experts believe that it is a deliberate move by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to overshadow the royals. The royal correspondent Daniela Elser revealed that she is confused regarding what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are exactly trying to prove. 

Elser accused the couple of trying to live a royal life despite stepping down from their role two years back. The royal expert believes that Harry and Meghan’s quasi-official engagements are going against their criticism of the House of Windsor. Being in the limelight, they are also defeating the purpose of moving to the United States. 

“Despite having left the strictures of The Firm behind for a new free life where they can do whatever they fancy, Harry and Meghan’s quasi-official engagements make it look like they are trying to replicate their royal lives,” Daniela Elser wrote for news.com.au.

Notably, it was just two days back that King Charles III shared his first portrait as a monarch. His majesty decided to exclude Harry and Meghan from the picture. He depicted a new Fab Four comprising him, Camilla, Kate Middleton, and Prince William.
