Burger King has long established that it isn’t fit for clowns, but royalty. Nevertheless, when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle revealed that they were exiting the palace and looking for “financial independence,” the brand stayed vigil by their side.
Burger King in Argentina teamed up with advertising agency HOY to produce an amusing print suggesting that the fast food chain was presenting its crown to the Duke of Sussex, who is presumably job-hunting, as well as fellow dukes.
The poster reads,“Dear Dukes, if you are looking for a job, we have a new crown for you.”
An accompanying letter describes, “We found out that the Prince and Duchess decided to give up their roles in the royal family and will work to become financially independent. So, we have a proposition for you: do as thousands of people and take the first steps in the workforce with us.”
“You know the crown will suit you perfectly. Also, after many years living as dukes, it is time for you to start eating like kings.”
The note comes with a code that aspiring “dukes” can scan with their phones to access Burger King’s employment page.
Burger King UK also shared a similar message upon hearing about the couple stepping back from their royal positions. It tweeted, “You can still eat like a king with us, Harry.” The King jests.
