Speaking to GB News, Mr Fitzwilliams said: “If you were looking at genuine humanitarian work, it is surely the Prince and Princess of Wales with their work for Heads Together, the initiative from the Royal Foundation, who ought to be considered.
“William is especially concerned with the stigma which still surrounds (mental health).
“He broke down discussing suicide with a grieving widow in a new video, which has moved the nation.
“Catherine’s ‘life’s work’ is the study of the early years and her input on how technology can be destructive is also very valuable. Surely this work is deserving of a joint award.”
While he may feel that The Prince and Princess of Wales may have been deserving of the award, Mr Fitzwilliams has still acknowledged how Harry and Meghan have helped those impacted by mental health.
He said: “The Sussexes work to help those suffering from mental health problems is, of course, to be welcomed.”
Harry and Meghan’s children Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, did not accompany their parents to any of their engagements in New York City this week.
