Meghan Markle found herself in the spotlight once again as Prince Harry was spotted leaving a London hotel earlier this week.
The sighting occurred as Harry, rarely seen in public in Britain these days, emerged from a room in the same establishment with Beth Harley, his longtime assistant. On Wednesday, Prince Harry made a noteworthy appearance in Britain, attending a service of Thanksgiving to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
Despite the strained relationship with his family taking center stage, Harry, accompanied only by Beth Harley, attended the service at London's St Paul's Cathedral. This marked a departure from the traditional royal gatherings, with Harry standing apart from other senior Royals, who were attending the annual garden party at Buckingham Palace hosted by the monarch, King Charles.
While Prince Harry was at St Paul's Cathedral for the Invictus Games service, the King was engaged in hosting the garden party and carrying out other royal duties. This left Harry as the sole royal figure at St Paul's to celebrate the international sporting event he founded in 2014 for wounded military personnel. Inside the cathedral, Harry gave a reading, and actor Damian Lewis recited a poem to the congregation, which included veterans and service personnel.
Interestingly, Harry wasn't alone during his time in London. His assistant, Beth Harley, was spotted with him at a hotel on Wednesday night, and they were seen leaving together the following day. Beth, a former actress turned loyal supporter and program coordinator for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, has been by their side at various events since 2016 when she was hired by Kensington Palace. Her presence underscores the close working relationship she shares with Harry and Meghan, despite their relocation to North America.
Beth, who once portrayed a character named Honey in a television series, has seamlessly transitioned into her role within the Sussex household. Her dedication and professionalism have made her an integral part of their team. However, rumors and speculations about her relationship with Harry persist, with some suggesting she fulfills a role beyond that of a mere assistant.
As for Meghan Markle, her absence from the Invictus Games event did not go unnoticed. While some speculated about her non-attendance, others criticized her for what they perceive as insensitivity towards veterans. Meghan's fashion choices and occasional public appearances have often been subject to scrutiny, with some questioning her commitment to charitable causes. Despite the controversies, the Sussexes continue to navigate the complexities of public life, with Beth Harley standing steadfastly by their side.
