Prince Harry's recent visit to New York City has become a breeding ground for drama, with reports suggesting that Meghan Markle allegedly threw a tantrum over her husband's speech.
It seems like just another chapter in the ongoing Sussex soap opera. According to People, one of the Sussexes' preferred outlets, Harry FaceTimed Meghan and their children just before he stepped on stage at the 2024 Concordia Annual Summit on September 23rd. Harry, always seeking connection with his family back home in California, took this moment to call them. However, some found it odd, questioning whether this behavior fit the image of a serious public figure.
The scene raised eyebrows, as Harry panned the camera around a crowded event while chatting with his kids. It left many wondering: was this simply a sweet family moment, or did Meghan nudge Harry into this somewhat awkward display?
As Harry engaged in the FaceTime call, showcasing the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel as if it were a theme park, he prepared to take the stage. He was joined by Dr. Tessy Ojo, CEO of The Diana Award, along with two award recipients, Chiara Ranti Hoap Jang and Christina Williams. While one attendee praised Harry’s kindhearted nature, the whispers of Meghan’s alleged meltdown from the night before were hard to ignore. According to sources, Meghan was upset upon discovering that Harry hadn’t mentioned her during his speech. Reportedly, she yelled over the phone, demanding that he tell the audience how kind and thoughtful she is.
The alleged scene paints a picture of Harry scrambling to meet the demands of public speaking while balancing Meghan’s expectations. Sources suggest Meghan may have gone as far as saying, “Can’t you do anything right?” When Harry failed to acknowledge her as she requested, the situation took an ironic twist. Meghan, reportedly, took matters into her own hands by calling People to leak the story about Harry FaceTiming their family. This maneuver has been interpreted as classic behavior from someone who thrives on control and attention, pushing psychological buttons and leaving Harry feeling anxious and insecure.
The dynamic between the couple has drawn attention, particularly Meghan’s apparent strategy of keeping a close watch on Harry’s public appearances. It's almost as if Meghan has a team on the ground, monitoring every detail to ensure it aligns with her narrative. Until Harry can break free from her influence and find a more balanced support system, some believe he will remain under her control.
Reflecting on Meghan’s tactics, it seems her methods are becoming increasingly transparent. A staged paparazzi photo op perfectly coincided with swirling divorce rumors, reinforcing speculation that she is trying to remain in the spotlight. One can almost imagine her internal monologue, "Time to remind the world that I’m still the star of this show." But the question remains—why would Harry's FaceTime calls with his family be splashed across a tabloid, especially when he publicly confirmed that his kids were at home? The optics of this public display raise questions about the couple's security.
Harry’s actions, flashing glimpses of his children around a banquet hall in New York as if they were part of a reality show, seem to undermine the couple's previous concerns about privacy. With no photo or video evidence of this particular FaceTime call, it appears Meghan’s PR team is playing a familiar game. The invisible children, the doting wife, and the idea that Harry was the one reaching out to her all feel like scripted moves. It’s a poorly executed game plan that would fit right into a reality TV show, with each leaked article and staged photo highlighting Meghan’s determination to stay in the spotlight while Harry seems to struggle to find his own path.
The future of Harry and Meghan's public personas remains a topic of interest, as they navigate this mix of personal and public life. While Harry may continue to face challenges, Meghan appears committed to maintaining her image, even if it means creating more headlines and stirring more controversy.
