During his first appearance, Prince Harry responded with laughter to questions about stepping down as a Senior member of the Royal family. The young prince seems to be doing just fine with his recent decision to give up an $88 billion dollar fortune along with his titles in order to live a simpler life with his wife and son.
Since the royal couple’s announcement on January 8th, Prince Harry was been taking each day in strides. The royal has already gotten the emergency meeting out of the way and is now looking forward to finalizing his financial dealings. Even though Meghan Markle has been getting much of the negativity regarding their stepping down, Prince Harry seems to be happy to be along for the ride, embracing his new, commoner life. After a rough start to the New Year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided that it would be best for them to split their time between the United Kingdom and Canada, where they spent their Christmas alone with their son, Archie. The parents claimed that they would like to raise their son with an appreciation of their royal traditions but also a sense of normalcy which space would provide. Prince Harry and Markle decided that it was not necessary for Markle to call into the emergency family meeting even though they had agreed to with the family.
Prince Harry made his first public appearance after the news dropped as he hosted the 2021 Rugby League World Cup draws for men, women, and wheelchair tournaments at Buckingham Palace on January 16th. Naturally, according to Us Weekly, the prince was bombarded with questions concerning he and Markle’s plans to leave their positions but he all about ignored each question thrown at him. Prince Harry was caught with his back turned to the reporters, laughing.
The Prince, who founded The Invictus Games, was said to be in a good mood at the event as it was on his schedule before he and his wife decided to announce their plans at a new life. The prince stunned in a navy-blue suit and white button-down shirt as he watched the children play rugby in the garden. Back in 2016, Prince Harry was named the royal patron for the Rugby Football League when he took over the role from Queen Elizabeth II.
All around the world, people have watched Prince Harry grow into the man he is today so it’s been a hard pill to swallow for everyone to know that he will no longer be in the same role. Though fans have to remember that Meghan integrating into the Royal Family was not the easiest transition for her, many are still shell shocked with the news which has left a large blemish on the Monarchy.
