Larry Emdur slammed for "rude" coronation meme

Larry Emdur has come under fire for sharing a seemingly innocent meme about Prince Harry at King Charles' coronation. 

The Morning Show host shared a photo to his Instagram account of a screenshot from the livestream of the royal event on Saturday, showing how Princess Anne's large feather hat was blocking Harry's view as he sat behind her. 

Taking a jab at the fractured relationship between the Sussexes and the working royals, Larry then wrote a cheeky caption alongside the photo. 

He said, "Charles: How can we block out the naughty one? Anne: Leave it to me bro."

While most of Larry's online followers found the joke amusing, some fans of the Sussexes criticised Emdur for his constant digs at Harry and Meghan. 

One person wrote, "How rude! I turned off your channel when you started on Harry. Why not cover Andrews face instead? Harry was a total gentleman. And looked so happy and relaxed. Just leave him alone."

Another disgruntled fan wrote, "Such a deads**t Larry! Who watches you anyway these days?"

Emdur responded by posting the nasty comment on his Instagram grid and telling the troll to click unfollow if his content bothers them so much.

"So, two things: Firstly, I 100 per cent agree with you," the 58-year-old presenter began.

"Secondly, and I'm not a qualified doctor, but honestly you need to unfollow me IMMEDIATELY!!!! And go and follow people on Insta who make you happy, make you smile and bring you joy. All the best," he added.

Emdur was flooded with support for his classy response.

"Larry, you are the most funniest person ever. Keep it up and forget the haters as they don't have anything better to do," one fan commented below his post. 

Princess Anne's large feather hat, which obstructed the view of Prince Harry sitting behind her, was a major talking point from the coronation, with some believing it was a deliberate move by the Firm to "punish" the Duke of Sussex, who has been outspoken in his criticism of the Royal Family.
