Prince Harry sparks anger with his UN speech

Prince Harry, who delivered a keynote speech at UN General Assembly, has sparked reactions, with some asking why he made the address.

Harry blasted world leaders for a "global assault on democracy and freedom" in an address to the United Nations General Assembly on Nelson Mandela International Day.

The Duke of Sussex criticised leaders for the many crises currently being faced, highlighting "this has been a painful year in a painful decade". 

Harry's speech has sparked accusations of being fake as social media users slammed it, with one wrote: "Harry’s voice but Meghan’s words."

Reacting to Harry's speech, a Twitter user @Mcfucius wrote: "Last I checked Prince Harry holds no elected office so why is he addressing the UN?" 

Another @marcalavelez reacted: "Why? Was there no one else who had any real merit? #UN #NelsonMandelaDay #PrinceHarry." 

Meghan Markle was also seen with some dragging her into the row. @StVitusDance added: "What does a Prince know about poverty and climate change? Why are they even there? Meghan's political ambitions are obvious #HarryandMeghan."

Prince Harry has described Meghan Markle as a "soulmate" during an emotional address to the United Nations Assembly for Nelson Mandela day.
