The observations of Harry without Meghan by his side they did not go unnoticed. The Duke of Sussex has been on an eventful tour, from New York to London to Lesotho, and the public has begun to wonder: where is Meghan? And why is Harry traveling alone? The answer comes from one of the most authoritative voices within the royal family, and there’s no shortage of track record.
From New York to Lesotho: Harry in top form
After shining at Climate Week in New York and had a hit and run in the UK for awards GoodChildHarry decides to take a break from his family life and fly to Africa, to the enclave of Lesotho, to support Sentebale, his beloved foundation.
According to Jennie Bond, a former BBC correspondent, there is a perfectly sensible strategy behind his moves. “We can’t keep criticizing Harry for flying across the Atlantic for one thing or another, and then wonder why he’s lumping his trips into one big move. It is entirely logical from the point of view environmental“. There would therefore be the respect for the environment as motivation. Indeed, traveling by private plane has a very high cost in terms of pollution, as demonstrated by the study carried out on the VIPs who pollute the most (Taylor Swift in first place, with 8.3 thousand tonnes of Co2).
The decision to combine international commitments is not only a practical choice, but also describes a Harry who knows where to put his hand, especially when it comes to the causes he cares about most. Bond has no doubt: these missions show him “at his best”.
Long distance family: Harry does his show alone
Behind these trips there could also be a question of family balance. “Maybe it would be better for his children too if he disappeared for a few weeks and then stayed at home, rather than traveling back and forth a lot,” Bond muses.
And maybe Meghan has nothing to say about itAfter all, not every couple has to do everything together. Harry, with his star charm, manages to conquer the public single-handedly. And apparently the public loves him too, especially when it comes to causes he’s long supported.
A triumphant return to the United Kingdom
When Harry reappeared in London for the WellChild Awards, many eyes were on him. And those who know body language immediately noticed one thing: Harry seemed in his element. As reported by the Mirror, according to industry expert Judi James, the duke seemed relaxed and happyto the point of forgetting the tense moments experienced in New York a few days earlier. “She comes into the room with a completely different energy, showing that she really feels at home,” comments James. Did he miss the feeling of being at home?
Not just that. During the event, Harry showed his most authentic side: real smiles, an energetic handshake and that unique ability to identify with the children present, enough to lean in to speak to their faces. In this environment, the Duke proved to be a perfect ambassador for the cause.
