Newsweek Deputy Opinion Editor Batya Ungar-Sargon has blasted Harry and Meghan for their "privileged lectures" in a fuming rant.
Harry and Meghan quit their roles as senior royals in January 2020 and moved across the pond. After a short stint in Canada, they settled in the US. The pair have recently set up a website entitled Sussex.com that describes Harry as a "environmentalist" and Meghan as a "feminist."
However, yet again, they have found themselves separated further from the Royal Family as their profiles were "downgraded" on the official Buckingham Palace website.
They were initially removed entirely from the site before their individual bios were replaced by a 577-word joint section "below Prince Andrew."
