British Royal Family News suggests that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might be doing everything they can to not only distance themselves from the British monarchy, but break every protocol in the royal rule book. As a matter of fact, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex looked like they broke yet another royal protocol with a rare television appearance about the 2020 election. Here’s what you need to know.
As many fans know, if there’s one thing that Queen Elizabeth doesn’t like the most, it’s seeing any of her royal family members talking about politics in public. She believes that the monarchy needs to stay as neutral as possible.

Yet, Harry and Meghan decided to do things their way anyway by urging Americans to exercise their right to vote ahead of the 2020 presidential election. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recorded a video message in honor of National Voter Registration Day this week. The short clip aired during an ABC network special unveiling Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people of 2020.
“Every four years we are told the same thing: that this is the most important election of our lifetime. But this one is,” Meghan said in the clip, adding, “When we vote, our values are put into action and our voices are heard. Your voice is a reminder that you matter, because you do and you deserve to be heard.”
Prince Harry, who is not a U.S. citizen and cannot vote in this upcoming election, urged viewers to reject hate speech, misinformation, and online negativity.
“When the bad outweighs the good, for many, whether we realize it or not, it erodes our ability to have compassion and our ability to put ourself in someone else’s shoes,” Harry said. “Because when one person buys into negativity online, the effects are felt exponentially. It’s time to not only reflect, but act.”
