Harry and Meghan slammed for ‘outrageous’ Remembrance Sunday photos

“Have they no shame?” One vocal critic has slammed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle over their latest public appearance.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have released photos from their trip to Los Angeles National Cemetery, where they “personally recognised” Remembrance Sunday.

The ex-royals hand-picked flowers from their garden, which they laid at the cemetery in memory of fallen soldiers.

The Sun reports that Harry laid a wreath at the grave of two Commonwealth soldiers and wrote the message: “To all of those who have served, are serving. Thank you.”

But the photos, taken by a professional snapper, have been met with criticism by some – most notably frequent critic Piers Morgan, who accused the couple of staging a publicity stunt.

“My god, they’ve even turned Remembrance Sunday into another self-publicity stunt. Have they no shame?” Good Morning Britain host Morgan tweeted in response to the photos.

“Just outrageous – treating Remembrance Sunday like a PR opportunity, & trying to steal headlines from the real royals doing their duty back home.”

Responding to another person on Twitter who defended the couple and suggested he leave them alone, Morgan wrote: “If they wanted to be’ ‘left alone’, they wouldn’t do PR stunts every day to get media attention.”

ITV News Royal Editor Chris Ship tweeted out the photos, which were also met with a mixed response from those on social media.

“Really don’t understand the need for this photo shoot?” asked one follower.

“Who brings a photographer to a cemetery?” asked another.

Others were more supportive: “Lovely to see them today paying their respects and such a shame it wasn’t at the cenotaph in London. Keep up the good work Harry & Meghan,” wrote one royal watcher.

Harry and Meghan’s Remembrance Day visit comes after Buckingham Palace reportedly “refused” permission for a wreath to be laid on his behalf at the Cenotaph war memorial in London.

The Times reported that Harry personally made the request to Buckingham Palace, but was denied by courtiers on the grounds that he no longer represents the monarchy since leaving the royal family earlier this year.

The Queen was reportedly not made aware of her grandson’s request – and Harry was said to be “deeply saddened" by the rejection.

Harry first laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in 2009, ending his own active service in the military in 2015.
