"You must stop following my wife." Prince Harry "out of his mind"
Prince Harry in the eye of the storm for his statements on the Commonwealth: according to a photographer, the duke has offended Queen Elizabeth II
As reported by the DailyMail, veteran photographer Arthur Edwards called Prince Harry's words an "insult" to what Queen Elizabeth II loves most. According to Edwards, the Duke of Sussex would have "lost his mind". "To criticize the one thing the Queen holds above all else, the Commonwealth she is preserving, is an insult to her - said the photographer - no matter what the Palace may officially say. Harry should stop listening to his wife, who is obviously filling him with these ideas. She is evidently not a fan of Her Majesty's beloved Commonwealth. In fact, after her Commonwealth service at Westminster Abbey in March - her and Harry's last official royal engagement - Meghan couldn't wait to leave. '
To understand more, we need to take a step back. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, in recent days, made a video call with the young leaders of the Commonwealth Trust. The duke, in particular, said that the history of the Commonwealth "must be recognized", even if it is "uncomfortable". And that the organization headed by the Queen should follow those who have "recognized the past" and "try to remedy their mistakes". In addition to admitting to suffering from an "unconscious bias". “When you look across the Commonwealth - said Harry - there is no way forward if we don't recognize the past. So many people have done an amazing job of recognizing the past and trying to right those wrongs, but I think we all recognize that there is still a lot to do. "
For many, these words represented a severe blow to the British Empire and Prince Harry would have broken the protocol that has always been in force in the Royal Family: the members of the British royal family do not talk about politics. According to the photographer, the comments of the Duke of Sussex will "tarnish" the reputation of the Commonwealth, particularly among young people who have "little knowledge of what it is and what it does".
But it is not the first criticism that reaches Prince Harry's address after the ominous video call. Tory MP Andrew Rosindell found the Duke's words "disappointing" and also advised him to follow the example of his relatives who, once they left the family, retired to private life.
