Royal Family News: Prince Harry Called Out For ‘Dereliction Of Military Duty’ – He Responds With Lawsuit Threat

British royal family news shows that Prince Harry Duke of Sussex is now in on the legal action started by his wife Meghan Markle against UK’s Mail on Sunday and its publisher, Associated Newspapers. Maybe he felt left out, but whatever the reason, he has lodged his very own legal warning to the tab, accusing them of saying mean things about him that everyone else is apparently thinking.

Even as Meghan Markle persists in her lawsuit against Mail on Sunday, earlier this week Prince Harry’s lawyers sent a legal warning to the publication. They did not like the fact that the tabloid alleged that Harry has not been in contact with the British Marines since March. That month marked his last official appearance as an honorary Marine.

Vanity Fair royal writer Katie Nicholl reported that in response Harry’s lawyers informed the Mail on Sunday that the story is, “false and defamatory.”

Harry’s hurt feelings came after Major General Julian Thompson told the Mail on Sunday that Harry, “has to take the job seriously and not just say, ‘Well, I’m still the Captain-General and I’m going to live in Los Angeles and never visit the U.K.’”

Harry Being Called Out By A Military Top Commander Too Close To Home For Him?

Apparently being called out on his lack of involvement rubbed litigious Harry the wrong way. Thompson added that Harry is still, “expected to attend events and be around and be as accessible as his grandfather was.”

That’s kind of hard to do when Harry is posing for glossy portraits in the U.S. and renting out extra houses in his new hometown of Montecito.

Nicholl noted that poor Harry was especially angry at being told he had abandoned the military. But it’s hard to surmise otherwise. He had been involved with the military prior to this petulant fleeing to America and launched the Invictus Games as an alternative to the Olympics for wounded service members.

Harry Was Once An Involved Member Of The Military

Harry’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, made him Captain-General of the Marines in 2017 and at the time he took over the position from his grandfather, Prince Philip.

After Megxit Harry babbled on about how hard it was for him to forfeit his role as a condition of his running off to America for, “financial freedom.” Yet he did exactly that and apparently has not looked back; at the very least he certainly has not been back. Major General Julian Thompson has exposed Harry’s dereliction of duty and his typical response is to threaten legal action. Note to Harry: real men put boots on the ground they don’t wave lawsuits in the air.
