KEY POINTS

  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will no longer be using their Instagram account
  •  The couple was criticized for posting their goodbye message amid the coronavirus pandemic
  • They also sparked worry among royal fans that a relative has died from coronavirus with their cryptic post 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just announced that they will no longer be using their official Instagram account, as well as their Sussex Royal website.

The decision came after Queen Elizabeth banned the royal couple from using the title. Her Majesty also said that Prince Harry and Markle will officially be relieved of their royal duties today, March 31.

“While you may not see us here, the work continues. T hank you to this community — for the support, the inspiration and the shared commitment to the good in the world. We look forward to reconnecting with you soon. You’ve been great! Until then, please take good care of yourselves, and of one another. Harry and Meghan,” they wrote.

Unfortunately, Prince Harry and Markle’s decision to say goodbye to their millions of social media followers did not sit well with their critics. They said that now is not the right time to make a big deal of the royal couple’s bombshell exit because there are more important issues in the world.

“Why are you shoving this garbage on us for? This isn’t news, this is incitement by you to work up the masses that can’t stand Meghan and the way Harry is now acting,” Twitter user @DCIDibble said.

“Here we go stirring about Meghan and Harry! I’d like to read the article suspect it might be different from the headline. Pathetic criticizing their Instagram message! Capital letters – timing ffs!” Twitter user @ginandfred said.

“In the middle of a pandemic, goodbye from Harry and Meghan to their Instagram followers,” Twitter user @En24_News said.

“And we are bothered because? More pressing issues today such as elderly people not having anyone to look after them and to help. Harry and Meghan post the final Sussex Royal Instagram message,” Twitter user @northeastbarri2 said.

“Send this spoiled rats back to where they came from,” Twitter user @caroleb86721326 said.

“When I saw this headline, I assumed that someone close to them had died of #coronavirus not they were closing their sodding Instagram account,” Twitter user @EloiseBattersby said.
