Prince Harry for what people are calling a “PR stunt” involving a letter he wrote in honor of his late grandfather, Prince Philip. The letter was placed at a memorial for the VJ Day anniversary, but many viewers felt that Harry used Philip’s name just to gain sympathy and positive attention.
Why People Are Angry
-
Harry wrote a tribute letter mentioning Prince Philip’s military service during the 80th anniversary of VJ Day.
-
Critics say he is using Philip’s name to look good in the public eye.
-
Many people remember that Harry continued with his Oprah interview plans while Prince Philip was in the hospital — so they feel this tribute is hypocritical.
PR Disaster
-
The letter was written on fancy paper with a royal monogram, which made it seem like Harry was still trying to appear official or “royal.”
-
People on social media think he’s pretending to be a working royal even though he stepped down.
-
Some say he paid a memorial service to lay the wreath, instead of being there himself, which looked insincere.
