Prince Harry under fire for ‘unprofessional’ behaviour at key appearance

Prince Harry has been criticised for appearing “very unprofessional” during his time in the High Court by an expert.

Speaking with BBC Radio 4, a public speaking expert pointed to three issues with the Duke of Sussex’s conduct in court.

Andrew Edwards, who attended a hearing involving Harry’s legal battles, said Harry’s posture and appearance raised eyebrows.

He claimed Harry was “a sloucher” who did not sit up straight and also noted that his top button was unfastened and his tie undone.

“I was in the High Court where Harry was speaking,” said Andrew. “He didn’t sit up straight, he was a sloucher.”

“He didn’t have his top button fastened and he had his tie undone. Very unprofessional,” he added.

This comes after Harry and Meghan Markle recently went on a non-royal tour of Australia where they attended a series of engagements connected to their projects.

The trip, which was carried out under tight security, was described by some royal experts as a “royal-style” tour.

Speaking on it, royal commentator Jane Moore criticised the couple for continuing to use their royal titles despite stepping back from official duties.

“Milking their 'Duke and Duchess' titles for all their worth, the Montecito grifters have just completed a Down Under 'royal tour' by any other name,” she told The Sun.

She continued, “Remember when our late Queen — who would have been 100 this week — told Harry and Meghan that they couldn’t be 'half-in, half-out' members of the Royal Family and they flounced off to America in a hissy fit?

“Well, four years after her death, they are 'royals for sale' and no one seems able, or perhaps willing, to stop them.”
