CONTROVERSY: Speaking about Harry and Meghan’s time since leaving Britain, royal author Angela Levin said even Americans are getting fed up with the couple’s ‘hypocrisy’ and whinging.

She told The Sun: ‘I think endless moaning puts off Americans because they like people who are go-getters rather than those who blame everyone else. ‘They also don’t like the attacks on the Royal Family especially as they so loved and admired the Queen.’ Their unpopularity was made clear when they were mocked and humiliated in an episode of South Park last year.

The satirical cartoon launched a series of attacks against the couple in an episode of the show, which was entitled The Worldwide Privacy Tour and depicted the couple embarking on a publicity blitz to promote the Prince’s new book, Waaagh. At one point, they were seen stepping off the plane holding signs which said ‘we want our privacy’ and ‘stop looking at us’.

After the show aired, reports surfaced suggesting that Meghan had been left ‘upset and overwhelmed’ by the couple’s less-than-flattering portrayal. Ms Levin added: ‘Nor do [Americans] like their hypocrisy as seen in South Park – they say they want privacy but they keep appearing at Z-Level awards just to get their pictures. ‘By wanting revenge they have thrown their changes down the drain. With no coming back.’

Although the Sussexes stepped down as senior royals in January 2020, Harry is still a prince and is fifth in line to the throne. The couple kept their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles but are no longer addressed as his or her royal highness (HRH). On the flipside, it’s not just the general public that have taking a liking to William, and Taylor Swift posed for a selfie with William, George, and Charlotte, along with Travis Kelce before the royal broke out his best dad dancing to Shake It Off at Wembley Stadium.

The Prince and Princess of Wales’s official X account posted the adorable photo with the caption: ‘Thank you Taylor Swift for a great evening!’ Soon after, the popstar posted a selfie with the royals and her boyfriend Kelce to say: ‘Happy birthday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start’ in a touching message to the heir for his 42nd birthday.

William impressed the American duo so much that Travis later dubbed him ‘the coolest motherf****’ in the latest episode of his New Heights podcast, with his brother, Jason Kelce.
