Harry and Meghan receive massive criticism
Offending the entire royal family
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s visit to Queen Elizabeth caused quite a stir, but it was Harry’s TV interview that caused Britain’s fury.
Britain’s monarchy hopes that the unexpected visit of Prince Harry, 37, and Duchess Meghan, 40, to Queen Elizabeth, 96, at Windsor Castle will be the first step towards reconciliation in the British royal home. But that optimism did not last long.
Prince Harry’s interview on the “Today show” on the American television channel NBC regarding his participation during the Invictus Games in The Hague in the Netherlands has not only attracted attention, but also angered both royal pundits and ordinary Britons.
Insults were hurled at Harry and Meghan on social media.

Queen Elizabeth’s Celebration
In the interview, Harry said that, much to the dismay of Queen Elizabeth, he could not promise that he, his wife Meghan and children Archie (3) and Lilibet (11 months) would participate in the grand celebration of his great-grandmother sitting. on the throne for 70 years. It is scheduled to take place on the first weekend in June.
– I do not know. There’s a lot of stuff with security and stuff, said Harry.
He also said that his homes are now California and the United States, and he would not answer whether he missed his father Prince Charles, 73, and older brother Prince William, 39.
But it was his comments about a brief meeting with his grandmother Queen Elizabeth over tea that really took England off track.
– It’s great to be with him, it’s great to see him, and he’s in good shape. “He always had a great sense of humor and I just made sure he was protected and had the right people around him,” the prince said.
– When I watch Prince Harry promise to make sure the ‘right’ people are around the Queen to ‘protect her’ in his latest TV interview, I am reminded of a boxer who desperately attacks an opponent who doesn’t exist. Blinded by his own ego, the Duke of Sussex does not realize that he is the most destructive, royal biographer Angela Levin wrote in a commentary in The Sun newspaper.
– He insulted not only Prince Charles and Prince William, but the entire royal family, wrote Levin, who has written a book about the prince.

Will protect the queen
– When I got to know Harry he always wanted to do what was best for the Queen. He always wants to work hard, he helps his father and he is intuitive. But at this point he’s acting – to be honest – like an idiot, wrote Angela Levin in her comments.
Author and royal expert Robert Jobson believes Prince Harry’s claims about his protection of the Queen are untrue.
– Prince Charles and Prince William protect the Queen with actions, not just words, writes Jobson.
TV personality Piers Morgan, who has just launched a new daily show on the new Talk-TV channel, also defied Prince Harry on Twitter.
– How does the prince protect the queen? By moving from England and living 6,000 miles away? With his family hanging out and the royal house on TV? By leaving a memorial service for his grandfather Prince Philip? By writing a book about the royal house?, writes Morgan.
