Both are said to have urged citizens to vote in the upcoming US elections. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their resignation as senior members of the royal family earlier this year and moved to the United States, where they now live in a 14 million mansion in Santa Barbara, California. ۔
The two urged American citizens to exercise their voting right during their first primetime TV show on ABC Television on Tuesday.
Prince Harry told voters to reject hate speech, misinformation and online negative things, while his wife Meghan told voters that the presidential election was one of the most important polls in his life. However, the royal couple did not endorse any of the candidates.

Both are facing strong criticism over the issue because, according to British tradition, the royal family is expected to strictly avoid politics.
Shortly after the two-minute video, social media users slammed Prince Harry and Meghan for interfering in the US election, with one user asking why a British prince and his wife were running in the US election. What do they have to do with this issue?
On the other hand, many fans of the royal couple defended him and praised him, saying that he had reminded the Americans to vote in November.
