Society of Editors criticises Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's letter to newspaper editors saying they will 'no longer engage' with the UK's most popular titles has today been blasted as censorship by the Society of Editors.

Executive director Ian Murray said the statement was 'sadly a clear attempt to undermine certain sections of the UK media who often ask uncomfortable questions'.

Royal watchers also condemned the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's 'narcissistic' decision to have 'zero engagement' with the four British newspaper groups.

The Queen's former press spokesmen Dickie Arbiter said the couple were 'wrong' and Prince Charles's biographer Tom Bower said they 'have become their own worst enemies'.

 

Earlier Piers Morgan and the BBC's Andrew Neil were among the host of commentators to lay into the pair's new policy.

The LA-based Sussexes released the letter to four newspaper groups last night detailing how their self-imposed ban is a refusal to 'offer themselves up'.

Their message was sent from an official Sussex Royal email, despite the Queen banning them from using the title and them saying they plan to use Archewell.

They emailed the editors of these popular publications: the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror, the Sun and the Daily Express.
