Prince Harry remains a controversial royal figure, having stepped back from royal duties in 2020, moved to the US, and criticised the Firm and Britain before returning. While some still respect him, others distrust and criticise him.
Royal reporter Jasmine Carey writes that while Harry receives a lot of criticism, he also gets some things right. One of these is being a supportive husband.
Brussels Appearance
This week, Harry and Meghan Markle attended the Lost Screen Memorial at the European Parliament in Brussels, an event highlighting lives lost to online social harm. Both were scheduled to speak, but Meghan pulled out, reportedly not feeling emotionally strong enough after her father was charged with possession of child pornography.
Harry gave a speech on behalf of both, speaking emotionally as a father and noting his wife's role as a mother.
Supportive Gestures
Beyond the speech, Carey highlights Harry's physical and emotional support for Meghan. He arrived hand in hand with her, stood by her side, and checked in on her throughout the event. The couple remained firmly hand-in-hand even while speaking to different people.
This support would have made a significant difference to Meghan, who faced questions from the world's media about her father and her feelings.
Priority on Family
While Harry may face criticism for some actions, Carey concludes that he is clearly a supportive husband who gets it right every time. His wife and children remain his number one priority, as demonstrated during the Brussels event.
