Prince Harry’s Recent New York Appearance Has Some People Criticizing 1 Key Detail
Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, moved to the United States in 2020 after they were dissatisfied with their treatment from both the British media and the royal family. Harry and Meghan have since been building a life for themselves in the United States, and although they are no longer working royals, they still take a large focus on philanthropic issues, just as did they when they were a part of the royal family.
Harry recently took a trip to New York City, and some who spotted the prince criticized one key detail; they think he’s trying too hard to be an American royal.
Some critics disliked Prince Harry’s new Sussex pin
Harry recently spend some time in New York City while Meghan remained at home with the kids. The solo trip was meant to highlight some charitable organizations the duke is passionate about, including The Diana Award and The HALO Trust. But during his visit, some eagle-eyed royal followers saw a new pin on Harry’s suit, which they didn’t love. It was his Sussex symbol, an H and M that are intertwined and, of course, represent Harry and Meghan. But a few think he’s trying too hard to be America’s royal.
“That’s real desperation for relevance,” one person wrote on social media, according to Express.
“They are make believe Prince and Princess in the USA. Aren’t they a bit embarrassed?” another person commented.
Of course, people are always quick to criticize Harry and Meghan’s decision to continue to use their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles despite having removed themselves from the royal family.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle do have a right to use their emblem
Although people might not agree, Harry and Meghan do still have a right to represent themselves as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The only titles they cannot use are HRH titles (His and Her Royal Highness) because those are reserved for working royals. But at the end of the day, Harry is still the son of the king, and Meghan is his wife, so those titles remain in place regardless of the fact that they left the family.
Sure, Charles could probably remove the titles in some way, but with things already so strained, that might be the last straw that would confirm the family never reunites. Charles even gave Archie and Lilibet the titles of prince and princess when he took the throne so as to keep them included in the royal family tree.
