The continuous criticisms and grievances aired by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle against the Royal Family are reportedly causing a backlash among Americans, according to a royal expert.
Having relocated to the United States in January 2020 following their decision to step down as senior royals, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have remained active in various pursuits, including starring in a Netflix docuseries, launching a contentious website, publishing a book, and participating in headline-making interviews about the monarchy.
In their efforts to immerse themselves in the realm of celebrity, the Sussexes have frequented high-profile events such as the premiere of Bob Marley: One Love in Jamaica in January, drawing criticism for what some perceive as their lack of sensitivity, particularly when photographed alongside Jamaica's Prime Minister Andrew Holness, a staunch advocate for the abolition of the monarchy.
Prince Harry's recent remarks regarding King Charles's cancer diagnosis, suggesting it could potentially foster familial unity, have also stirred controversy. Despite visiting his father at Clarence House on February 6, their meeting reportedly lasted a mere 45 minutes.
There were reports indicating Prince Harry's willingness to temporarily resume royal duties to support the streamlined monarchy, especially given Princess Kate's recovery from abdominal surgery. However, palace aides have since dismissed any notion of Harry's return, asserting there is "no way back" for him.
