Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were spotted at the San Antonio Airport, presumably on their way home following their trip to Texas.
While in the Lone Star State, Harry proudly supported his wife as she delivered a keynote speech at South by Southwest on Friday. After the festival, the couple made a poignant visit to the home of school teacher Irma Garcia, who tragically lost her life in the Uvaldi school shooting back in 2022.
Captured as part of their "Sunday Sighted Series," the Instagram page Duro shared a photo of Meghan and Harry at the airport. This series highlights celebrity sightings from the previous week. In the snapshot, taken from behind, the couple strolled through the airport. Harry sported a Navy jumper, with sleeves casually rolled up to his elbows, paired with dark washed jeans. Meanwhile, Meghan walked alongside him, sporting sunglasses atop her head, a black shirt, leggings, and flats. She carried a white jacket and an oversized white bag over her shoulder. Notably, Mrs. Su6 had a hand gently resting on Harry's lower back.
However, a source close to an insider working at the airport revealed that Harry and Meghan were escorted by government-funded security to their private jet. Their attempt to appear as though they were flying commercial involved using a door adjacent to a United Airlines sign. Critics noted that if they truly flew commercial, they would have entered through the same entrance as everyone else.
As Meghan walked by, she spotted someone filming with their phone. Meanwhile, Harry's back bore the claw of scrutiny from the cameras. Some observers speculated that the scene was staged to portray the couple as relatable and amiable. This narrative shift coincides with their impending attendance at the Invictus Games ceremony in London. Their efforts to project a royal image to American audiences involve negotiations with the British government, a notion debunked as inaccurate given their lack of official political roles.
Criticism surfaced regarding the taxpayer-funded police escort provided to the couple. Many questioned the necessity of such security measures for individuals who no longer hold official royal duties. Some taxpayers expressed dissatisfaction with their funds being allocated towards the protection of "wannabe royals" attempting to establish a secondary royal family in the United States. The absence of crowds surrounding them without police escort underscored the sentiment that they are not as significant as they perceive themselves to be.
In light of these events, it becomes apparent that Harry is now simply Harry, stripped of his royal titles and the accompanying privileges.
