Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been branded "poisonous" after continuing to promote their royal brand whilst the King and Princess of Wales recover from their health concerns.
King Charles is currently receiving treatment for "a form of cancer" as Princess Kate also recovers from surgery after undergoing a "planned abdominal procedure".
Harry briefly flew to the UK to visit his father shortly after his diagnosis was announced, but met with him for a "maximum of 45 minutes" before returning to his California home the very next day.
The Duke of Sussex then flew to Las Vegas, where he presented an NFL award at their glitzy ceremony. The couple also rebranded their royal website, ditching the Archewell brand for a new Sussex one, featuring Meghan's royal crest.

Harry caused further controversy after becoming the first royal to give an interview on his father's health. The Duke spoke candidly to ABC's Good Morning America in Canada, whilst the couple visited the training camp for the winter Invictus Games, taking place next year.
Whilst Harry didn't disclose any new details on the King's cancer, he told the reporter that he "loves his family" and intends to see the Royal Family "as much as he can" following the diagnosis.
In a criticism of the royal couple, American journalist Lee Cohen said the Duke and Duchess are an "insult to the nation" and called for them to be "stripped of their titles".
In conversation with GBN America host Nana Akua, Cohen scolded the Sussexes and branded them "monsters beyond redemption".

Cohen said: "I don't profess to tell what tell the King what to do or recommend what the King should do, this is his family and he's the King.
"But how can the nation sit back and allow this?"
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
- Harry and Meghan are an 'insult to the nation they abandoned' - Americans fall out of love with Sussexes
- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle say they are 'counting down the days until they return' in latest statement
- Prince Harry blasted for 'thinking he can walk back in' to the Royal Family - 'He couldn't!'
Cohen fumed: "There's the timing of this too. We want to give Harry the benefit of the doubt, but after so many episodes, it's clear that no matter what side of the Atlantic you're on, the Sussexes are monsters beyond redemption.
"Who but the lowest of the low would swan about self promoting when their family members are in the midst of serious health crises?"
Nana was in agreement with Cohen and his "perfectly legitimate question" about the couple's motives.
She responded: "They also don't seem to show any real empathy for what has happened. I think Harry still thinks that he is deserved of the apology. He can't see what he's doing is what he's accused them of."

Cohen expressed his outrage at the Sussexes decision to rebrand during the health crises of the Princess of Wales and the King, claiming they have "always demanded apologies" throughout their "tenure" as a royal couple.
He told Nana: "Their rebranding coincided with the King and Catherine's illness.
"They went forward with the Oprah interview even as Prince Philip lay ill in hospital, and now the content of this new rebranding of this website is cringe worthy self promotion of their self manufactured accomplishments.
"You expect this of Meghan, but shame on Harry."
