Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were spotted at the Los Angeles airport on Monday, returning from an 18-hour flight back from Nigeria.
The candid shots capture them disembarking from their private jet and climbing into a luxurious car after visiting Meghan's new homeland. Nigeria, a country grappling with significant poverty, starkly contrasts their lavish lifestyle.
What's particularly intriguing about these photos is their implicit narrative. Meghan was seen walking ahead of her husband as they left the airport, with Harry trailing behind, looking visibly upset. There was no hand-holding or affectionate gestures, just two people likely exhausted from a long flight and in low spirits. The reason for their apparent discontent? Meghan had just learned about negative press surrounding their charitable foundation, Archewell. She was reportedly furious, having believed that the issues had been resolved.
Interestingly, Meghan appears almost inseparable from her phone, despite frequently discussing the toxicity of social media. She reportedly spends considerable time scrolling through news about them, analyzing the content and its authors for fairness. This private obsession with her phone adds a layer of irony to their public stance on social media.
During their visit to Nigeria, they only allowed friendly media outlets, such as People magazine and their photographer friend Misan Harriman, to cover their trip. This selective media strategy might contribute to their ongoing PR challenges. Meghan is reportedly on a mission to discover who took the airport photos, as she dislikes being pictured with her phone.
Speculation abounds about the conversations inside their luxury limousine. One cannot help but feel a bit sympathetic towards Prince Harry. While Meghan professes to be experiencing peak happiness, many observe a contrasting sentiment in Harry. Meghan’s declarations of joy coincided with Prince Harry’s recent snub by his father, King Charles, during a visit to London. In an interview with People magazine, Meghan expressed contentment, saying, "We're just doing great and happy to be watching our family grow up and evolve. Of course, I'm happy; we're really happy." Yet, in every photo, Meghan is smiling while Harry appears visibly distressed.
The internet has been quick to comment on these observations. Some pointed out that if Harry were truly happy, he wouldn't be seeking attention from his father or be upset about roles he abandoned. Critics harshly noted that announcing one's happiness often indicates the opposite. Others took jabs at Meghan, labeling her as a "low-level narcissistic sociopath with delusions of grandeur."
The public's scrutiny of Harry and Meghan's relationship dynamics continues to fuel discussions, with their every move and expression dissected and debated.
