A letter sent into the Daily Telegraph yesterday revealed one reader’s anger over the “unforgivable” way the Queen has been treated by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Daily Mail editor Richard Eden tweeted: “Strong feelings among newspaper readers over Harry and Meghan. This is a letter to the Daily Telegraph.”
The letter sent to the Daily Telegraph read: “Sir, I am sure we will wish the Sussexes well in their new life.
“What is harder to accept is their lack of respect towards the Queen.
“She is not only Prince Harry’s monarch but also his grandmother.
“The way she has been treated is unforgivable.

The letter referred to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announcing that they were stepping away permanently from their royal duties.
This announcement happened at the same time that Prince Philip took ill and had to be admitted to hospital, many royal commentators saw the timing of the announcement as “disrespectful” because of this.
