THE DUKES OF SUSSEX CRITICIZED FOR MESSAGE TO PRINCE GEORGE

It seems as if the Sussexes can do no right, and even a simple birthday wish has caused an uproar.

On Prince George's birthday, his parents posted a series of photos on their official Instagram account, and Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan added their birthday greetings, saying:

"Happy Birthday! Wishing you a very special day and lots of love!"

The public was outraged and pointed out that the greeting was inappropriate since Prince George of Cambridge would one day be King, and the informality of the message is an insult to his royal dignity...
