Prince Harry and Meghan Markle criticized for not congratulating Queen Elizabeth II on platinum jubilee

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have become the subject of criticism ever since the Queen celebrated her platinum jubilee. They are yet to congratulate the Queen publicly on the momentous occasion. Fans have slammed the couple for being silent on the same occasion.

Harry and Meghan Did Not Congratulate The Queen On Platinum Jubilee

Harry’s grandmother Queen Elizabeth II recently celebrated her platinum jubilee. Netizens have slammed and criticized Harry and Meghan for not sending a congratulatory message to their grandmother Queen Elizabeth II. They have taken to Twitter to express their anger over the same.

In a recent announcement, the royal couple stated that they will exclusively comment through their press team. Moreover, they stated that “sources” will no longer speak on their behalf. Prince Harry was expected to go to the UK to be with his family on this joyous occasion. However, there is no indication that Meghan, Archie, or Lilibet will accompany him on this trip.

Queen Celebrates 70 Years On The Throne

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has become the first monarch in British history to celebrate 70 years on the throne. She assumed the throne when she was 25. As a mark of respect for her father George VI, whose death marked the start of her reign, the Queen will spend her Accession Day at Sandringham on private estate grounds. Her Majesty used her significant occasion to formally appoint the duchess to the position of Queen Camilla one day. The Queen has moreover expressed her desire that Camilla will be the Queen Consort when Charles becomes King. The move will significantly shape the future of the monarchy, and also called on the public to support Charles and Camilla. In a statement released after the Queen’s announcement, Clarence House mentioned that Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cornwall were “touched and honored”:

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle haven’t spoken a word since they stepped down from senior royal duties in 2020. Ever since they began their new lives in the US. Their silence since then has angered many fans. While there were a few people who defended them, most of them slammed them on Twitter.

This is simply unforgivable of Harry. I dont expect anything classy or reasonable from his wife, but Harry knows better.

They're in the corner pouting because the spotlight is shining on HRH instead of them. God bless Queen Elizabeth

I don't understand this. You judge them if they stay silent. And if they were to make a public statement you would unfairly judge them by saying they are no longer royals and should stay silent. Smh. Why not report on those that made statements and leave it as that?

Not everything has to be public, maybe Harry contacted his grandmother privately to congratulate her. Not sure why everyone is out to make Harry a bad grandson, he loves his grandmother or he would not have named his daughter after her.
