Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have finally wrapped up the last of their duties as senior royals, leaving the UK to head back to their new home of Canada and son, Archie Harrison, earlier this week.<\/p>\n

After headlines surrounding icy royal greetings and Meghan’s ‘revenge’ looks, the one thing we didn’t expect to encounter was Prince Harry allegedly being tricked by Russian hackers to speak candidly about ‘Megxit,’ Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

But alas, here we are.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday evening, Russian hoaxsters, Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov, who once tricked Elton John, released two conversations with Prince Harry on YouTube, which were reportedly recorded on New Year\u2019s Eve and January 22nd. The pair allegedly pretended they were activist Greta Thunberg while speaking to the Duke of Sussex, asking him questions surrounding the climate and Donald Trump, before moving into personal details about the royal family.<\/p>\n

Of the US President, Harry allegedly said, Trump has \u201cblood on his hands\u201d for promoting the US coal industry.<\/p>\n

Speaking about his and Meghan’s choice to move away from the royals, Harry said, \u201cThis decision certainly wasn\u2019t the easy one but it was the right decision for our family, the right decision to be able to protect my son,\u201d per The Sun.<\/em> \u201cAnd I think there\u2019s a hell of a lot of people around the world that can identify and respect us for putting our family first,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The pranksters then asked Harry about reports of him being \u201cstripped\u201d of his royal duties. \u201cNo, no, again you mustn\u2019t believe what you read. No one has stripped us of our titles,\u201d he responded, according to The Sun.<\/em><\/p>\n

When asked about Prince Andrew\u2019s ties to billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who died in his prison cell in August 2019, he responded that he\u00a0had \u201cvery little to say on that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever he has done or hasn\u2019t done is completely separate from me and my wife. We operate in a way of inclusivity, and we are focusing on community. And so we are completely separate from the majority of my family,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9593,"featured_media":1552,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,16],"yoast_head":"\nPrince Harry Reportedly Tricked By Russian Pranksters Pretending To Be Greta Thunberg<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"On Tuesday evening, Russian hoaxsters, Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov, who once tricked Elton John, released two conversations with Prince Harry on YouTube, which were reportedly recorded on New Year\u2019s Eve and January 22nd.
