Prince Harry and Meghan's new statement may have a message for Queen

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle urged people to share their stories about acts of compassion in a statement on Thursday. 

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released a new statement about compassion on their Archewell website - in what could be a subtle dig at the royals.

The couple asked people to share their stories about acts of compassion. They said that compassion "means more than the dictionary definition".

The Archie and Lili's parents, who are living in California after quitting royal duties, added: "It means listening with open ears to the suffering and celebrations of communities and people beyond ourselves.

"It means taking the time to understand their perspectives, experiences and needs based on what they say, rather than assuming what they need."

The Sussexes' comments could be seen to have a hidden message for the royals.

In their controversial Oprah Winfrey interview, Meghan said she was not listened to by the monarchy when she was left suicidal by online trolling.

Meghan said: "I went to the institution, and I said that I needed to go somewhere to get help.

"And I was told that I couldn’t, that it wouldn’t be good for the institution."

Prince Harry, who recently unveiled her late mom Princess Diana's statue at the palace in UK, also accused the royals of "total neglect" in his Apple TV documentary series, The Me You Can't See.
