KEY POINTS

  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been dubbed a runaway royals
  • The Duke and Duchess of Sussex pulled off a great royal split
  • Prince Harry did another up yours to Queen Elizabeth

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been dubbed as runaway royals after announcing their bombshell exit weeks ago.

While speaking with Sky News, host Andrew Bolt claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex pulled off a great royal split. Bolt also thinks that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s recent moves and attacks to the Queen and the royal family are becoming more and more personal.

Former Australia party leader Kerry Chikarovski also said that what Prince Harry did was another up yours to Queen Elizabeth.

When he returned to the United Kingdom last week, Prince Harry’s supporters referred to him as such. But Meghan Markle’s husband told them that since he is no longer an official member of the royal family, they can just call him Harry.

“I am a republican, but I thought it was the young royals that were saving the royal family. There is a lot of affection for Will and Kate and there was previously a lot of affection for Meghan and Harry. So, when I saw the request he made, I thought it was just another up yours to the Queen by Harry. I’m amazed that a young man who purports to have such a strong bond and love for the Queen would be doing these sorts of things,” she said.

Chikarovski doesn’t understand why Prince Harry wanted to drop his royal title even though it wasn’t necessary. She said that it is possible the Duke of Sussex wants to be one of the people. However, it is unlikely for anyone to think that he is just one of them.

“He has lost the plot, I think. I don’t think it’s Meghan who is driving this agenda. I think it’s Harry. I think he has decided he wants to have his own life, and to the hell with the rest of you,” she said.
