“I am therefore concerned by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s recent comments regarding the United States Presidential Election…
“…especially given international conversations surrounding foreign interference in our elections..
“…and the Duke’s status as a guest of the United States.”
Meanwhile, in a speech last month, Harry and Meghan discussed the upcoming election.
This election I am not able to vote in the US.
Prince Harry said: “This election I am not able to vote in the US.
“But many of you may not know that I haven’t been able to vote in the UK my entire life.
“As we approach this November, it’s vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity.”
What did the Duchess of Sussex say?
Meanwhile, Meghan added: “We’re just six weeks out from election day and today is National Voter Registration Day.
“Every four years we are told the same thing, that this is the most important election of our lifetime. But this one is.
“When we vote, our values are put into action and our voices are heard.”
However, they received criticism over their decision.
