Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly broke one of the agreements in place when quitting life as senior royals in the run-up to the US election.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly breached an agreement they made with the Royal Family that was put in place ahead of them stepping down as senior Royals in 2020.
The couple, who relocated to the US in 2020, made a controversial move that same year in the run up to the US election as they urged people in a video message to “vote against hate speech”.
Although they did not name the candidate they believed people should vote for, the comments were widely believed to be a criticism of Donald Trump and in support of Joe Biden.
This political involvement reportedly was a breach of the Sandringham Summit agreement, which was written up when the couple quit their royal duties in 2020. Royal aides at the time told The Sunday Times that the remarks left the Royal Family “wringing their hands” and was a “violation” of the agreement.
This year, the couple have taken a less direct approach and have instead just encouraged people to register to vote. No comments have been made by Prince Harry or Meghan Markle about either candidate in the run-up for President.
