Americans like me don't want to hear what Prince Harry has to say about our politics

He is the latest famous face to have their say on the upcoming election, but why should anybody be interested?
HELEN KIRWAN-TAYLOR

……...For Harry – a Brit who cannot even vote in this election – to sit beside Meghan and sprout his opinions at such a volatile moment in US politics, has united everyone against them.
Americans bought wholeheartedly into the royal soap opera; all they wanted to do is tune in for the next episode of the real life Crown. Even the dimmest of Americans understands that the British royals are paid to be quiet. That’s precisely what makes them alluring.

“The only reason Meghan is in a position to do anything is because she is married to a royal,” says a London-based (Biden supporting) friend. “If she has political aspirations she cannot be a duchess as well. Poor Harry does whatever she tells him to.” Another friend, who said he had no opinion on the couple before this, now actively dislikes them. “Prince Harry waffles on incoherently. Who writes that crap? Didn’t they agree to be non-partisan?”

The resounding opinion is that Prince Harry has made a big mistake. The two of them have been busy suing newspapers (mostly unsuccessfully) for violating their privacy. They now face the same backlash in the US that they have endured in the UK. You can’t ask to be left alone and demand attention at the same time.

The couple would also do well to remember that the polls are extremely close and to consider the possibility of a Trump re-election, before sharing their political views with the world.
After all, Prince Harry’s application for citizenship is probably sitting on someone’s in-tray. I wouldn’t put it beyond Donald Trump to make sure it never gets stamped.
