Meghan and Harry’s ‘deplorable behaviour’
Elsewhere, a royal commentator reckons the Queen will not have enjoyed Meghan and Harry’s recent behaviour.
Richard Fitzwilliams told the Daily Star: “The Sussexes’ activities, when they’ve spoken out, have been very, very damaging. There’s no doubt about it.”
Meanwhile, asked if Harry’s grandmother would have taken the couple’s comments personally, he responded: “[The Queen] has realised how unhappy they were, but speaking out in the way they have is a totally different thing.”
