Finally they had another chance for a little affection. After Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan received a lot of scolding for the launch of their new website, they received a warm welcome in frosty Whistler at their first appearance at the three-day countdown event to the 2025 Invictus Games in Canada. But the evil voices reach them unchecked, even in the snowy paradise. Now both of them are at a loss.
Finally back to the place of the heart. Prince Harry, 39, and Duchess Meghan, 42, returned to their old adopted home shortly after midnight just in time for Valentine’s Day, where they were able to take a deep breath after Megxit. The private jet landed in British Columbia after a two-hour flight. Time to get to your accommodation almost unnoticed and get some sleep. Then in the afternoon the big appearance: The Sussexes beamed – and got love in return. But the peace didn’t last long. The attacks and strict warnings from Great Britain do not stop. Time for a spicy reaction.
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have to raise their voices
Meghan and Harry are taking part in the three-day “One Year to Go” event. A first starting signal for the Invictus Games, which will take place for the first time in winter in 2025, from February 8th to 16th, in Vancouver and Whistler. The friendly welcome: balm for the souls of both royals, as the past few days have been more than stressful for the couple.
After Harry rushed to the UK for just 48 hours to see his cancer-stricken father King Charles, 75, for just 30 minutes, he showed up a short time later at the NFL Honors Awards in Las Vegas. There he presented the “Walter Payton Man of the Year Award” to Cameron Heyward, 34, of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Self-promoter? Criticism from Great Britain continues
The Sussexes then surprised everyone with their new website sussex.com. The domain change from her site Archewell to the new URL was met with ridicule and malice in the Duke’s native Britain. The name change and the even brilliantly worded profiles gave the press in the kingdom the impression of exaggerated self-portrayal. They are also accused of not informing the royal family about this step in advance. On the site they not only use their royal titles, but also a royal coat of arms. The British press in particular thinks it’s a no-go for the couple who have left the Crown’s service.
And Meghan’s ambitions to start a “dynamic podcast” with the company Lemonada after her Spotify deal fell through are being condemned in her husband’s homeland as another currently inappropriate “rebranding” by the couple, while both the king and Catherine, Princess of Wales, 42, struggling with her health.
Warning is the last straw
The scolding wasn’t enough, the Sussexes now also receive a – not exactly well-intentioned – warning from the kingdom. Royal expert Hanna Furness told the Telegraph that the two royals had “three days to prove that they can behave” during their stay in Canada. What exactly does she mean by that? Furness apparently makes a rather harsh appeal to the couple to “keep quiet” after Harry’s visit to his sick father. In short: If they were to seriously consider a cautious approach to the king and the royal family, they would have to stick to the rules.
A recommendation that apparently was the last straw for Meghan and Harry. A spokesman for the two royals told the Mirror: “We have heard time and time again that certain opportunities are crucial for the couple. They are still here. They are still working and pursuing what they believe in, even though they are constantly questioned and criticized. This couple will not be broken.”
