Harry and Meghan are 'supposed to know better' says James May

James May has claimed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should "know better" than to talk about their personal lives in public.

The Grand Tour presenter told the Radio Times the Royal Family should be an "exemplar".

Earlier this year, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took part in a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey and made a series of explosive allegations against the Firm.

Next year, Harry will also publish a memoir about his life.

"I don’t take much interest in the Royal Family," May told the magazine.

"The Meghan and Harry story sounded a little bit distasteful. People talking about their personal lives in public.

"Everyone’s got issues like that, and I don’t think the rest of us should know or care about it.

"I thought the whole point of a royal family is that they were supposed to be an exemplar.

"They’re aristocrats, aren’t they? They’re supposed to know better – just keep it in."

He added that when they were making the episode of the motoring programme he thought it was a mistake to reference the pandemic "because it’d all be over in six months and people wouldn’t want to be reminded of that miserable time when our show eventually came out".

However, he said he now thinks the virus "is possibly going to be with us forever".

You can read the full interview in the Radio Times, which is out now.
