THE DUKE and Duchess of Sussex were yesterday blasted as "hypocrites" for accepting Prince and Princess titles for their children, while launching "attack after attack" on the royals.

Former BBC royal correspondent Michael Cole declared: "Harry and Meghan have run away to America, where they have painted a picture of the British monarchy as insufferable, unacceptable and unpleasant.

"At the same time, they insist on all the honorific privileges that monarchy can bestow.

"They want to play on both sides of the street and this leaves them open to the legitimate charge of hypocrisy." Royal author Margaret Holder added: "What of Harry's previous decision to raise his children as private citizens? "They were not expected to have royal roles or privileges, rather like Princess Anne's children, Peter and Zara.
