Don McLean has openly criticised Prince Harry, stating that the Duke of Sussex "just doesn't get America". The American Pie singer also warned the ex-Royal should "shut his mouth." In his memoir Spare, Harry launched several attacks, predominantly targeting the Royal Family, but he also spared no praise for his experience at Elvis Presley's iconic home, Graceland, in Memphis.Harry described his impression of Graceland as: "Dark, claustrophobic.

I walked around saying, 'The King lived here, you say? Really? '" He further quipped: "The King's interior designer must have been on acid."Don McLean was incensed by these remarks and took to social media to express his displeasure, reigniting the controversy recently, reports the Mirror.At the time of Harry's comments, Don tweeted: "Prince' Harry should shut his mouth about Graceland and Elvis.

He is a hot house orchid, a show horse who never did a thing."Speaking with the Daily Mail, the American singer elaborated: "He doesn't understand that Elvis is like the poor man's king.

He came from nowhere and his recordings are among the greatest ever made."He continued: "His family were as poor as they could be and Harry criticised Elvis' home as if he's comparing it to Buckingham Palace, and that misses the point completely.
