Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been criticised following their latest statement.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex issued a rallying call for people to register to be able to vote in the upcoming US election.


In a statement posted on their Archewell website they said: "In honor of National Voter Registration Day, The Archewell Foundation team came together for a meaningful volunteer activity to support and empower our communities.

"Using Vote Forward’s impactful letter-writing tool, our team wrote personalised letters encouraging unregistered voters to take a crucial step: registering to vote.

"Voting is not just a right; it’s a fundamental way to influence the fate of our communities.

"At The Archewell Foundation, we recognize that civic engagement, no matter one’s political party, is at the heart of a more just and equitable world.

"By participating in initiatives like this, we aim to amplify the message that every voice matters."

However, Republican candidate Donald Trump has previously criticised the couple.

Donald's son Eric Trump branded the Sussexes "spoiled apples" during an exclusive interview with GB News earlier this year.

Donald Trump is going head to head with Democrat candidate and current Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming Presidential election.

The Chairman of the Republican movement in the UK has hit out at the Sussexes following the statement.

Greg Swenson told the Mail: "They can't help themselves.

"By encouraging people to vote they are essentially ballot harvesting for Kamala.

"You don't have to say it...you don't need a bumper sticker, we know who you voted for".
