Several brands have come forward to “help” Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
After the royals announced that they will be stepping back as ‘senior members of the royal family’ and be ‘financially independent’, a food chain has offered them a “part-time” job.

The food chain—Burger King—offered the Duke of Sussex a “part-time” job.
“If you’re looking for a job, we have a new crown for you,” read one an ad from the chain.
“We have a proposition for you: do as thousands of people and take your first steps in the world of work with us. Also, after so many years of living as dukes, it is time for you to start eating like kings,” the ad said.
On Tuesday, the chain named the prince to offer him the part-time position.
“You always have a job in our kingdom,” said the fast food chain’s first tweet on January 8, the day the royal couple made their announcement.

“Dear Duke, you can look for your first job without giving up the crown,” said the Spanish version of the advertisement in Argentina.
👸🤴 Queridos Duques, si andan buscando trabajo, tenemos una nueva corona para ustedes.

The latest tweet earned a lot more attention and went viral in seconds. Some praised the tweet, while some brands believed that advertisement was in poor taste.
Twitter reactions:
Maybe he’d rather be second-in-line for the King of Beers.
