Brits Greet Prince Harry, Meghan Markle with Well-Deserved Boos While Other Royals Are Cheered at Platinum Jubilee

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were vigorously booed by Brits as they departed St. Paul’s Cathedral following the Service of Thanksgiving, while other royals were notably cheered on Friday.

The couple attended the celebration which was part of Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee. It is the first time in two years they have attended a royal event. Harry’s brother, Prince William, and his wife Kate notably sat far away from the couple inside the cathedral giving substance to their allegedly frosty relations.

As the duke and duchess made their way down the steps from the cathedral to an awaiting car, loud boos could be heard. However, when Prince William and Kate Middleton appeared, the exact opposite occurred, according to Fox News. They were reportedly lavished with cheers from the people.

The boos apparently were loud enough that Sky News commentator Rhiannon Mills said the negative reaction from the British shouldn’t be surprising. She mentioned that the couple had become unpopular in the UK because of the prevailing view that they “snubbed” the queen by not giving her sufficient notice before they went public in January 2020 with their plans to step away from royal duties and move to North America, according to Mercury News.
