Meghan Markle and Harry: accused of interfering in the American election, they risk big

Several days ago now, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry put their finger in a dangerous gear. By making a public statement in the United States, the Sussexes have drawn sharp criticism from their detractors, determined to make them definitively fall from their pedestal ...

To hell with decorum, forgotten the reserve: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are done with the royal protocol. Well, that's what they seem to think.
