Royals Meghan Markle and Prince Harry behaved like 'petulant teenagers' during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, a critic has claimed.
The couple attended one event - a thanksgiving service - before flying back to the US.
Royal biographer Angela Levin suspects the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may have been 'cross' about not getting pictures of their daughter Lilibet with the Queen, the Daily Star reports.
Their trip to the UK for the jubilee celebrations was their first joint visit back to Britain since 'Megxit'.
Despite reports that the royal family feared a large public presence from the Sussexes would overshadow the Queen’s celebrations, Angela told GB News that the couple didn’t appear enough.
“I thought they were like petulant teenagers, really,” she claimed.
“If they didn’t get what they wanted they would leave.
“They did leave early, they left before the pageant on Sunday. But they also didn’t go to anything else."
The only public appearance Harry and Meghan made during the Jubilee weekend was at the Service of Thanksgiving on Friday (June 3), The Mirror reports.
Angela dismissed the argument that the couple wanted to remain in their family unit as “nonsense”, adding: “You’re with your family the whole time, you don’t use that as an excuse as if you’re so close.”
The critic was particularly scathing in her assessment of one particular incident, where the Sussexes could be seen winding down the windows of their car to greet fans.
This, Angela suggested, contradicted the prince’s assertion that he doesn’t feel safe in the UK, resulting in him taking the Home Office to court over his protection while on British soil.
“There he was, in a car with black windows, so they’ve obliged them with that so nobody could see who it was, and they both opened the windows right down and started waving at the people,” she said.
“That was an indication to me that they couldn’t be out of the spotlight. However, that is very dangerous; someone could throw a bomb in or a load of tomatoes in through the window, you make yourself very vulnerable.
“It’s such a hypocrisy isn’t it?”
In the absence of any pictures of Lilibet and the Queen, Harry and Meghan released a picture taken of their daughter at Frogmore Cottage to mark her first birthday.
However, speaking to GB News, Angela claimed that these adorable snaps might not be sufficient to satisfy the couple’s Netflix bosses, who she suggested had been keen on footage of a royal meeting with the Queen.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been approached for comment.
