Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s red carpet appearance has not been well-received by fans
Harry and Meghan were honored with the “Humanitarians of the Year” award at the gala, in recognition of their efforts to promote children’s mental health and online safety through the Archewell Foundation.
As the couple appeared on the red carpet, they posed for the photographers. However, once done, Harry took Markle’s hand to move on, but she seemed to hesitate, lingering behind for a moment. According to royal watchers, the Duke of Sussex may have whispered, “Come on now,” to the Duchess of Sussex.
Meanwhile, in another video taken backstage at the gala, Harry is seen being grabbed by a member of the team and asked a question. Markle stood alone, waiting for him to arrive. Some critics claimed that the Duchess of Sussex “glowered” before she smiled.
Markle stated while accepting the award that she thinks “constantly about how to embrace technology’s benefits, while safeguarding against its dangers.”
Harry, too, spoke about the dangers of social media, saying, “This is a pivotal moment in our collective mission to protect children and support families in a digital age.”
The audience roared a huge round of applause. However, royal watchers were surprised to see the similarity in theirs and the Princess of Wales’ statements. Middleton, too, shared her sentiments in an essay on the influence of digital devices on children’s mental health.
All in all, the Duke and Duchess’s body language and speech sparked a lot of discussion among royal watchers and the public. Many people thought that their body language was off. However, others claimed that because this was a public event, Harry may have been a little unsure of what to do at a gala event like this.
