- Meghan Markle and Prince Harry criticised Britain’s position in the Commonwealth.
- Meghan Markle and Harry released video footage of Queen Elizabeth for criticism purposes.
- The video included recordings of the late Queen Elizabeth speaking to the British Empire in 1947.
When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry used film of the Queen to criticise Britain’s position in the Commonwealth, there was shock inside the Royal Family and at the Commonwealth offices in London, according to sources cited by the UK’s Daily Express.
The royal family has refrained from making a statement in response to the documentary.
In the first three episodes of the royal couple’s Netflix documentary, which debuted on Thursday, the royal family was mostly spared.
The tabloid also featured a letter from the high commissioner of Gabon criticising Harry and Meghan.
“It was “surprising and patronising” for the couple to use their Netflix series to attack the organisation, which was Queen Elizabeth’s proudest achievement, according to the diplomat.
Aichatou Sanni Aoudou said: “To think we would sign up blindly to be vassals to another empire is to suggest we are foolish. This is why many in Gabon would feel patronised by these clumsy remarks.
“We entered the Commonwealth last year with our eyes wide open and hearts full of excitement.”
The video included recordings of the late Queen Elizabeth speaking to the British Empire in 1947 and footage of her speaking at a Commonwealth conference in 2018.
“The exiled couple’s involvement in a series criticising the monarchy and the Commonwealth, which is home to 2.6 billion people or a third of the world’s population, has damaged Britain’s standing in the world and UK foreign policy, according to experts,” the Daily Express reported, citing them.
