Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spoke out against wealthy governments, particularly the United Kingdom’s, failing to give poorer countries enough coronavirus immunization.

Bur Mr. Palmer claimed that the couple had deliberately agreed to defend the Queen’s ideals and that they should avoid commenting on British government activities. Since their retirement from royal responsibilities in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been vocal about the necessity of vaccination fairness.

Speaking to Daily Express’ Royal Roundup host Pandora Forsyth, Mr. Palmer said: “They were criticizing, if I read rightly, the actions of the British Government, and other governments, in denying Covid vaccinations to people in poorer countries around the world.

“And I think that really runs against the pledge they made when they left royal duties.

“It was a pledge they volunteered with, as far as I know, no coaxing from the other side.

“They vowed to uphold the values of the Queen.”

He added: “The Queen does not criticise the British Government.

“That’s just not something a working member of the Royal Family should do.”

Last week, Prince Harry and Meghan signed a letter endorsing The People’s Vaccine Alliance.
The group strives to “ensure that COVID-19 vaccinations are available to everyone in the globe.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, through their Archwell foundation, have also promised financial assistance to the coalition.

Last September, Prince Harry spoke at Global Citizen Live on the necessity of ensuring universal access to the Covid vaccine.

The Duke said: “Many countries are ready to produce vaccines at home, yet they aren’t allowed to because ultra-wealthy pharmaceutical companies are not sharing the recipes to make them.

“And by the way, many of these vaccines were publicly funded. They are your vaccines. You paid for them.”
