Prince Harry, Meghan Markle criticised for 'far from friendly' move

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly broken "unwritten rule."

On Tuesday, Harry and Meghan dropped a video, featuring behind the scenes of their work through Archewell Foundation.

However, the release of the video coincides with significant royal event, where Prince William and Princess Kate hosted a royal visit for the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

Speaking with Express, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams criticised the sussexes for breaking an “unwritten” rule.

"Harry and Meghan have never subscribed to the unwritten rule that, when in the Royal Family, you should not share the spotlight when it should be on other royals. However, it only makes sense that if a royal is involved with a big event, they should not face competition," he said.

Fitzwilliams added, "Media coverage is obviously pivotal to whatever trips, charitable events and anniversaries members of the Royal Family are involved in."

However, the expert stated that “This was surely not a day to release material which would compete for coverage in a world, where interest in royal matters is often obsessive.”

“The Sussexes know perfectly well that there is intense media interest in everything they do. However, it is quite extraordinary that they chose yesterday to make news and release this video together with the Archewell Foundation’s accounts.”

Fitzwilliams said, “They are, after all, still members of the Royal Family, even though they caused the rift in it,” adding, “the timing of today’s release sends a message which is far from friendly."
