Royal Commentator Shares Unusual Theory About Why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Are Doing So Many Separate Appearances
A royal expert is sharing a couple different theories about why the Sussexes have been making solos appearances including one you probably haven't heard before.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been making a lot of public appearances lately, just not with each other.
Some fans have been a little perplexed as to why they are attending functions separately. Well, several royal watchers have offered the same theory on why that is. Now though, one commentator is revealing that there’s a less obvious theory for why we haven’t seen the duke and duchess together in a while.
Many experts agree on reason for Prince Harry and Meghan’s separate appearances
The Sussexes solo appearances began in September when Meghan gave remarks during an event at a bookstore near the couple’s home in Montecito. Weeks later, Harry attended a charity concert for first responders hosted at actor Kevin Costner’s estate before flying to New York City where he spoke at the Concordia Annual Summit as well as the Clinton Global Initiative during Climate Week. He then did a surprise guest spot on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
The prince’s busy schedule continued as he traveled to the U.K. for the Wellchild Awards, one of the few patronages he kept after stepping down as a working royal. Harry then headed to Africa where he met with local Sentebale leaders to showcase programs to philanthropists and corporate foundations.
While Harry was globe-trotting, Meghan made another solo appearance at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Gala.
So why have the Sussexes been attending all these engagements alone?
Most royal watchers and experts agree that it is a carefully orchestrated PR strategy to get Harry back in the good graces of the public. He reportedly hired a new PR team who are aware that his popularity has taken a nosedive over the last few years as he and Meghan have attacked his family. They’re now likely trying to keep him out of the bad press the duchess has been getting recently after former staffers called her a “dictator in high heels” and a “demon boss.”
“I do think there’s a clear strategy here to rehabilitate his public image and the way people view him as well and his reputation too,” commentator Louise Roberts told Sky News. “So I do feel the two of them as a sort of going concern, their reputation is still not good. But obviously, there’s a strategy and he must be on board with this to sort of push forward and do some of the charity work.”
