Prince Harry has landed in trouble after visiting Burma Star Memorial on VJ Day, with royal insiders calling it a “cynical PR -stunt.”
The Duke of Sussex made a wreath and handwritten note in honor of the “forgotten army” serving in the Pacific during World War II and also paid tribute to his grandfather, Prince Philip.
Harry’s visit came shortly after the official 80 -year anniversary ceremony led by King Charles and Queen Camilla, whom Harry did not attend.
Talking with Radar online, Royal sources said that the time of Meghan Markle’s man’s appearance along with the presence of photographers felt like a deliberate step to draw attention.
“Harry’s movement was not coincidental,” they said, adding, “arrived after the king had gone, made it work respectfully on the surface – but the timing, the note and the perfectly staged photos made it obvious that it was a PR game.”
“People in the palace were lively. It was meant to be the king’s moment of memory, yet Harry managed to return the limelight on himself,” the source added.
“If this wasn’t a PR -stunt, Harry could have put the note quiet and gone away. But the fact that it was caught and shared so nicely telling you all you need to know,” they continued.
A Palace Insider claimed that Harry’s appearance “caught everyone away from the guard” and added, “nobody had Harry on the schedule.”
“The event was planned for months, with the king and Camilla Front and Center. For Harry to perform afterwards, convenient with cameras waiting, felt very consciously and carefully orchestrated.”
