The British royal family is once again in the spotlight, and this time the protagonists are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. After a rare red carpet appearance, the couple attended the premiere of the Bob Marley: One Love movie. And just before that, Prince Harry was also invited to the Aviation Legend Award ceremony to receive an honor.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did not visit the royal family
However, all this happened against the backdrop of King Charles and the princess being undergoing medical treatment. Princess Kate is recovering from abdominal surgery in the hospital, and the King is about to undergo treatment to relieve an enlarged prostate.
In Prince Harry's award ceremony speech, he deftly sidestepped the health concerns of his father and sister-in-law, and instead recounted his first flight experience. Royal expert Angela Levine noted that Harry's silence reflected the tensions between the Sussexes and the royal family. In an interview with The Sun, she said: "He didn't say anything. I think he should have said, 'I'm sorry to hear that my father and sister-in-law are not feeling well'. He only needs to say one word. ”

Levine thinks Harry seems to be in a dilemma. She added: "Deep down, he still loves his family, but Meghan is his number one priority, and that's no problem. ”
Harry and Meghan flew to Jamaica for the premiere of the Bob Marley film, which was criticized, with many experts calling for them to stay in the UK to support the royal family. Royal expert Phil Dampier told the Daily Mail: "Under normal circumstances, they have no problem attending the premiere of the film. But at a time when his father was about to undergo surgery and Jamaica was calling for the abolition of the monarchy, it seemed a little out of place. ”

On social media, the Royal News Network posted: "So Prince Harry and Meghan Markle can't visit or care for sick family members, but they can fly to Jamaica to watch Bob Marley movies." What's the difference? The red carpet, of course. ”
However, there were also those who were delighted to see the Sussexes at the premiere. One netizen wrote: "They look healthy and happy! I'm glad they were able to travel so freely without being revealed their location and plans." That's freedom. ”
Another fan said, "Harry and Meghan shine!", and a third fan commented: "They look beautiful, glowing, and they look super happy." Someone else added: "Happy for them!", a series of comments that show the public's ambivalence about the couple, as well as curiosity and blessings for their lives. Prince Harry's torn between duty and love may be a true portrayal of his life at this stage.
