But could the Duke of Sussex be crossing a line that will end up angering his grandmother Queen Elizabeth to no end? Perhaps. With that said, here are four times Prince Harry has gotten a little too political for the royal family’s taste.
#1 He Kept His Distance From Donald Trump During His Buckingham Palace Visit In 2019
While Meghan Markle was pregnant with the couple’s first child, she decided to sit out all of the official engagements with then U.S. President Donald Trump and his family during their visit to Buckingham Palace. And while the rest of the royal family was very receptive towards the Trumps, many critics noticed that Prince Harry especially distant and disconnecting while he was in the same room with the U.S. President and his wife, Melania Trump. Clearly, Prince Harry was aligning himself with the views of his wife, Meghan, who has made it no secret that she is no fan of the Trumps.
#2 He Urged Americans To Vote In The 2020 Election
In perhaps one of the most controversial moves that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made post-Megxit, they sat down and recorded a short clip of themselves urging Americans to vote in the 2020 Presidential election. A lot of critics back in London thought that the video clip was in bad taste, seeing how it’s against royal protocol to state your political opinions in public.
#3 He Spoke Out About The Capital Riots
If all of the above weren’t enough, it wasn’t too long ago that Prince Harry also went on the record to say that social media was a key component in the planning of the violent and deadly riots on the U.S. capitol. While there are certainly going to be a lot of people that are going to either agree or disagree with Prince Harry’s statements, critics believe that it’s not the Duke of Sussex’s place to comment on the events surrounding the U.S. political scene. Either way, it doesn’t sound like this will be the last that we will be hearing from the prince and his opinions about the political climate in his new home country. Do you agree?

It says a lot about Harry that he is keen to push his politics and opinions on the people/world but doesn't want the people/world to have or express opinions that are not in line with his! Him and his wife like to think they are democratic but their constant obsession with trying to control the media and what people think demonstrates otherwise. The only title these two should have is Duke and Duchess of Contradiction.
Prince Harry makes me ill! He married this scheming conniver and look what she did to the queen and to the British people! Now he’s here and opening his limousine liberal mouth to sway Americans to vote his way. And how disrespectful to treat a duly-elected American president the way he and Megain did. Thank God the queen and rest of the family have far more class and dignity!!
