Liz Truss Is Criticised After Her Comments On Meghan And Harry
Former UK Prime Minister Truss has made a brutal comment about the Sussexes. Truss was recently asked whether she would support the couple returning to royal life. According to her, the King should make this decision. However, Truss mentioned that California is welcome to keep them.
Later, fans of the Duke and Duchess hit back at her. They called the former Prime Minister an ‘underachiever’. Observers shared that she was the shortest-serving Prime Minister in British history. A fan wrote, “Truss is really no one to talk about work after her time.” Another added, “She’s the biggest flop and underachiever of a prime minister in this nation’s history.”
However, along with Truss, many others have also been criticising the Sussexes. The couple will be visiting Australia in April. And a petition has been signed with over 35,000 signatures.
The people want no taxpayer money to be used for the visit. It’s because the couple will be attending expensive private events. Elsewhere, Meghan will be appearing at a “Her Best Life’ event where tickets are priced at $3199. Meanwhile, Harry will be speaking at a summit in Melbourne. Hence, many people feel that public resources shouldnt be used for high-profile individuals. It’s also because regular Australians are struggling with high grocery and fuel costs.
Royal News: The Sussexes Respond To The Petition
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s representative has already responded to the petition. It has been labelled as “ridiculous.” According to sources, the entire trip will be funded privately. Hence, the petition doesnt really have a point. They also argue that millions of Australians haven’t signed the petition. So, it’s just as silly to assume everyone else wants to pay for the visit.
Now, Harry and Meghan’s team are saying that the agenda is just spreading misinformation about their plans. Even with all the fuss, the Sussexes are mostly keeping to their private and business plans down under. What about Liz Truss’s take on the duchess? Let us know down in the comments section.
