  • Queen Elizabeth II praised for banning Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from using Sussex Royal brand

Prince Harry was slammed by netizens for making another “tacky” move.

The Duke of Sussex announced his collaboration with rock singer Bon Jovi for the upcoming Invictus Game by sharing a cheeky post on Instagram. In his post, Prince Harry added a disclaimer that it was not a real text conversation. It was supposed to be humorous but not everyone was impressed.

Part of the video is Prince Harry saying he is “living on a prayer” in reference to Jovi’s most famous hit as they arrange for their meetup in London. Many took it against the duke.

“Phenomenally tacky. Unbelievable,” one commented.

“So tacky you both are ... and why is royal still in the name?” another added.

Meanwhile, some attacked Prince Harry for using the taxpayers’ money. Another slammed the duke for still using the account after it was reported that Queen Elizabeth II already banned them from doing so.

“Living on a prayer? No, living on millions of dollars of taxpayers money,” another opined.

“You aren't supposed to be using this title any more. Granny took it from you,” another royalist wrote.

“Why are you still using royal when the Queen told you all to remove it? You all made a choice to abandon your royal lives and duties by abdicating. You should respect your families wishes by dropping the royal as you all aren’t anymore,” a different follower commented.

This isn’t the first time Prince Harry offended royal fans with his post on Instagram. Last month, weeks after he and Markle announced that they were stepping back from their royal roles, he also shared a clip to highlight his final engagement. He used Stone Roses’ “This Is The One” song as the background music of the video and many found it appalling and offensive because it appeared to them that he was itching to leave the royal family.

“I’d like to leave the country for a month of Sundays. Burn the town where I was born. If only she’s believe me, Bellona, Belladona, burn me out or bring me home,” the lyrics read.

In related news, Queen Elizabeth II was praised for banning Prince Harry and Markle from using the Sussex Royal brand. According to the royal followers, it was just right because the couple would be monetizing the monarchy if they would continue to use it.
