Prince Harry has spoken out regarding the upcoming U.S. presidential election — and the palace is calling the comments "personal."

Harry and Meghan Markle made their first primetime TV appearance on Tuesday to celebrate TIME magazine's annual list of the world’s most influential people, using their segment to speak about the importance of voting. As a U.K. citizen, Prince Harry noted that he won't be able to vote in the upcoming election and added "many of you may not know that I haven't been able to vote in the U.K. my entire life."

"As we approach this November, it’s vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity," he said.
