The new 'Burger King'? Prince Harry offered fast-food job after stepping back from royal duties

Burger King branches in both the U.S. and Argentina have jokingly offered to give Prince Harry a position at their restaurants after he and Duchess Meghan announced their intentions to “step back” as senior members of the royal family last week.

Burger King Argentina kicked things off last week with an ad campaign imploring both of the part-time royals to become part-time Burger King team members, too.
“Dear Dukes, you can look for your first job without giving up the crown,” reads the Spanish-language version. Another tells the couple that, “If you’re looking for a job, we have a new crown for you.”

You know that the crown will suit you perfectly.
“Also, after so many years of living as dukes, it is time for you to start eating like kings.”
