Meghan Markle is probably in a state of frustration fit for a Netflix special after Prince Harry made a surprise appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for a playful adventure through the host's haunted maze.
Meanwhile, Meghan, seemingly left on the sidelines, might be fuming like a child denied their favorite treat. On September 26th, Harry turned what could have been an ordinary Monday evening into a delightfully spooky outing at Rockefeller Center. Instead of engaging in a typical interview—where he might awkwardly sip water and deflect uncomfortable questions—Harry chose to participate in a Halloween-themed skit, navigating a haunted maze filled with zombies.
You can almost picture Meghan back home, watching with clenched fists as Harry enjoyed this frightful escapade. The thought of her wondering, "How dare he have fun without me?" seems almost too amusing to be true. Harry’s spontaneous appearance brought out a carefree side we haven’t seen since the couple traded royal duties for a life in Hollywood. While Harry was out enjoying laughs and scares, Meghan’s potential Tonight Show appearance has been indefinitely sidelined. She was originally set to grace the same stage on September 20th, 2022, but those plans were scrapped following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
Imagine Meghan’s surprise upon learning that Jimmy Fallon had rolled out the red carpet for Harry instead. Reportedly, Meghan wanted to be the sole guest on the show, which some have seen as typical diva behavior, with critics comparing her to Greta Garbo, seeking a solo, glamorous spotlight. The idea of a full episode dedicated to Meghan discussing her podcast Archetypes, which has been declining in popularity, felt like offering a single grain of rice and calling it a meal.
While Meghan's aspirations for The Tonight Show were dashed, Harry was busy grabbing Fallon’s chest during the haunted festivities. One might question personal boundaries, but should we really be surprised? This is the same Harry who has shared more about his personal life than anyone asked for. It's hard not to wonder what Fallon might say about Meghan, the so-called "Duchess of Drama," in his next episode. Will he poke fun at her? Will he acknowledge the irony that while Meghan has been curating a narrative of victimhood, Harry has been living his best life in front of millions?
As Meghan wrestles with her public image, Harry is showing off his humorous side, offering a glimpse into a happy, carefree existence unburdened by grievances. In a way, we’re witnessing a classic dynamic where one half of the couple shines while the other remains in the shadows. With Harry providing comic relief on The Tonight Show, the contrast with Meghan’s crumbling media strategy is striking. The situation has an almost poetic quality, don’t you think?
