Prince Harry Faces Criticism Over Rush To Return To US After Grandfather’s Funeral

Prince Harry has flown to the UK to attend his grandfather Prince Philip's funeral on Saturday while his pregnant wife Megan remains in California following medical advice against travelling.

However, according to royal expert Ingrid Seward, Harry will want to return to Megan quickly after the funeral, and is expected to leave the UK the day after or even later that same day.

Britons have taken to social media to express their disappointment and anger towards Harry's reported rush to return to the US immediately after the funeral.

One reader commented, “the sooner he's gone the better.

He's proved himself to be totally unacceptable to be a royal representative of this country.”

Another person wrote, “let's hope once he's gone back to the US that is the last we will see of him.”

Despite the criticism, Ms. Seward believes that Harry's decision to return to California as soon as possible is understandable.

She added that Harry doesn't want to be away from Megan for too long, especially since she is pregnant.

The couple has faced intense scrutiny since announcing their decision to step back from their roles as senior members of the royal family last year.

They moved to California and have been living a more private life, away from the public eye.

Harry's attendance at the funeral will be his first public appearance with the royal family since stepping back.
