Prince Harry and Meghan Markle brought joy to Royal Watchers over the weekend with their heartwarming display of affection following the prince's triumphant win in a polo match held in honor of his charitable organization.
Speaking in an exclusive interview after the match, Harry's teammate and close friend Nacho Figueras shared insights with Hello magazine about the potential of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet following in their father's footsteps.
When asked if he would like the Royal children to play against his own kids, Nacho expressed his hope, saying, "I really hope so. I hope that Archie and Lily get to experience horses as much as he does." He went on to emphasize the therapeutic benefits of being around horses, stating, "Think about the outside of a horse, that's great for the inside of a human. Hopefully, that love and passion will be transmitted. I know my kids love it, and they love to play. It would be a dream that one day we all get to play polo together."
After posing for group photos with their spouses, Meghan and Harry affectionately walked off to the side, holding hands. As they prepared to leave, Nacho's young daughter, Alba, walked alongside Meghan, their arms around each other. According to Nacho, Alba was curious why the Sussexes' daughter, Lily, wasn't present. Despite the innocent inquiry, Meghan diverted the conversation, pretending to hug Alba while discussing other matters. This interaction, though well-intentioned, seemed uncomfortable as Alba struggled to balance items she was carrying, prompting questions about the authenticity of Meghan's warmth.
The incident raised broader questions about the visibility of Harry and Meghan's children in public engagements. Observers noted Mark's frustration at the mention of Lily's absence, and Nacho's demeanor suggested his annoyance with the situation. While Meghan and Harry appeared affectionate with Nacho's daughter, there was a perceived lack of inclusion of their own children, particularly Lily. This discrepancy fueled speculation about the authenticity of the Sussexes' parenting responsibilities and the existence of their children.
Critics argued that events like polo matches and the Invictus Games should be opportunities for the Royal children to bond with their father and engage in enriching experiences. The absence of Archie and Lily from such occasions only added fodder to skeptics' claims that the children are kept out of public view. Inclusion of the children in these events would not only enhance their family's public image but also provide valuable opportunities for their personal development and enjoyment.
