The incident took place at the Santa Barbara Polo Club in California. Royal commentator Kara Kennedy was asked to provide insights into the situation during an interview with Sky News Australia.
Kennedy analyzed the moment when Meghan seemingly didn't receive much attention from Harry. She suggested that this may explain why Harry has kept Meghan at a distance, around "50 feet away," during his recent media appearances, as Meghan has a tendency to seek the spotlight.
According to Kennedy, this trait was particularly evident in this incident, as Meghan appeared on stage unexpectedly and unprepared. The situation involved Harry being surrounded by his teenage teammates, and Kennedy emphasized that it wasn't a deliberate PR opportunity.
Kennedy also mentioned Paul Burrell's recent comments, a former butler of Princess Diana, who claimed that Harry is staying in the marriage solely to be able to witness his children, Archie and Lilibet, grow up. Kennedy expressed some skepticism towards Burrell's statements but acknowledged that there might be some truth to them.
She pointed out that over the past three years, Harry has experienced significant losses, including his family, career, and future prospects. However, Kennedy disagreed with the notion that the British people or the royal family, especially the King, would be eager to welcome Harry back with open arms, as his actions have seemingly damaged the principles they have been striving to uphold.
