Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Under Fire For Recent Publicity Stunt At Preschool; Parent's Angry At 'Special Treatment'
In the past few days, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made headlines when they continue to do their face to face engagements. On the late Princess Diana’s 23rd death anniversary, the royal couple attended a small gardening project in a low-income school situated in Los Angeles.

Other parents also voiced out their displeasure on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Many believe that their actions were just a massive publicity stunt, with news being released that the couple brought their favorite photographer during the project.
Fans of Harry and Meghan Markle came to the couple’s aide by stating that their actions are to be praised and that the couple took the necessary precautions during their visit.
Photos of the couple released showed Harry and Meghan sporting masks all throughout the gardening project. The couple and the children planted ‘Forget-me-nots’ flower, a favorite of Harry’s mother, the late Princess Diana, this was also the ode of the couple to the people’s princess.
Other than gardening and teaching the kids the importance of health and nature, the couple also sat down with them and read books to them and played nursery rhymes.
