Meghan Markle didn’t want Price Harry at Geneva event, sources suggest
According to Rob Shuter, Meghan Markle purposely left out Prince Harry at the Geneva event. Insiders stated that she wanted all the focus to be on her. Many close to the Sussexes called it the most important speech of the Suits alum’s post-royal career. “This was Meghan’s moment,” one insider shared with Naughty But Nice. The individual added, “She knew the second Harry walked into the room, the conversation would shift away from her.”
Insiders noted that behind the scenes, Markle’s appearance was carefully planned, with attention to the smallest detail. “Meghan simply wanted this stage to herself. People can stop pretending this was about childcare,” a source said. They further explained, “They could easily have found help.” As per insiders, the 44-year-old viewed the Switzerland event as a rare opportunity to establish herself as an independent global figure.
Another source stated, “Whenever Harry appears beside her, everything becomes about royal drama, and family feuds.” They continued, “Meghan wanted the spotlight on her work, not the chaos surrounding the royal family.”
Sources also claimed that the businesswoman teamed up with speechwriters, advisors, and stylists before the event. On the other hand, insiders said that Prince Harry was supportive of his wife. “This was Meghan’s stage,” the source said. They added, “And she wanted to own it completely.
While Markle appeared to work hard for the event, she has allegedly been accused of using AI for the speech. A source told RadarOnline.com, “What many people find deeply ironic is that the entire appearance centered on warning about the dangers of rapidly evolving technology and artificial intelligence potentially harming society.” The source said that “critics are now accusing the speech itself of sounding algorithmically generated.”
