Meghan Markle, Prince Harry spark fury in the US over bombshell decision: 'Sad state of affairs!'

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have drawn ire in the US, where they have relocated after stepping down as senior members of the royal family. 

As known by everyone, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced the bombshell decision on social media, without any prior communication to even Queen Elizabeth.

This has sparked fury, as explained by  CNBC co-founder, and media CEO Bridget Baker, "It could have been handled way better. Setting aside the substance of the announcement, the approach was weak and manipulative.

She added, "It smacks of leveraging their [hand emoji] (i.e. clout) unnecessarily. Imagine how different it would have played if Harry had said the exact same things standing with his brother and father and maybe his gran."
