It appears the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are in trouble with the royal family once again, this time for violating royal protocol that members remain politically neutral.
Harry and Meghan caused a stir with a video filmed in their palatial California home, showing the couple sitting on a bench in their garden (frankly huge) – their dog looks cute to be fair.
In the footage, shot for Time magazine as part of the World’s Most Influential People List, Harry and Meghan urge viewers to vote in the upcoming American election, which Meghan called “the most important election of our life.”

Harry said: “In this election I cannot vote in the United States. But many of you may not know that I have not been able to vote in the UK in my entire life. As we approach this November, it is vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and negativity online. “
While the couple did not outwardly support Democratic candidate Joe Biden over President Donald Trump, many have interpreted the message as pro-Biden.
While Harry and Meghan are no longer members of the greater royalty, Harry remains sixth in line for cast and both he and Meghan are still considered members of the Royal Family.
Buckingham Palace distanced itself from Harry’s comments, and a palace spokesman issued the following statement on Wednesday:
“We did not want to comment. The duke is not an active member of the royal family and any comments he makes are in a personal capacity. “
However, a royal source told The Times that the couple had “crossed the line.” Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty magazine, said:
“You can understand Meghan getting involved as an American citizen, even though she is now a member of the British royal family.

“But I think people will fight a lot more with Prince Harry because, as a blood prince, it is not seen as something made to talk about politics, whether British or American.
“He may be thousands of miles away, but he’s still a member of the royal family, the queen’s grandson, and it’s something he wouldn’t do if he were still in the UK.”
