Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been slammed for "not practicing what they preach" after coming under fire for their links to well-known royal critic - and tech entrepreneur - Christopher Bouzy.

Christopher Bouzy has previously trolled the Princess of Wales, with his hurtful comments going as far as saying that the 42-year-old was aging as fast as a "banana".

A slap down on the Sussexes made by royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams comes just two days after the Meghan and Harry's interview about cyberbullying aired on CBS.

Speaking to FEMAIL, Mr Fitzwilliams has claimed that Meghan and Harry's move to speak out on protecting children from online bullying was hypocritical - especially as Mr Bouzy has become "notorious" for his cruel remarks about the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Mr Fitzwilliams said: "The launch on CBS of The Parents Network, to help those with the hashtag #NoChildLostToSocialMedia, a group of parents who have experienced the suffering which can be caused by social media, is undoubtedly an important step towards tackling a significant issue of contemporary concern."

He added: "It followed a pilot by Harry and Meghan's Archewell Foundation and is linked to their forthcoming visit to Colombia."

However, he remarked: "You often judge individuals by the company they keep,' hitting out at their links to Christopher and Omid Scobie - 'whose latest book, Endgame, was involved in a disgraceful row over unproven allegations which has never been satisfactorily explained."

As well as taking aim at Kate and William, Mr Bouzy has also previously criticised King Charles and Queen Camilla.

Discussing how quickly he thought Kate and William were aging, the critic once wrote: "I don't understand why, since they have a team of people who wait on them hand and foot 24/7."

Around the same time, in October 2021, Mr Bouzy also tweeted that Kate and William "look like Harry's aunt and uncle".

Speaking on Meghan's comments about being feeling suicidal during her time as a senior working royal, Mr Fitzwilliams believes that she could speak out further on this - especially given her statement that she "hadn't really scraped the surface".

Mr Fitzwilliams told the publication: "It was a tragedy that this was a disaster with an undoubted impact on her mental health. She hinted that she would open up if it helped others and "take the hit for that"."
