Richards believes that it is commendable that he showed up in the first place as many people would not have been able to handle the pressure.
She explains that it can be daunting to have the entire world, as well as your family, watching you, and she imagines that it must have been difficult for Prince Harry to be seated in the third row, beside a distant cousin of the King, while his brother took center stage and embraced their father as part of the official pledge of allegiance.
Richards also argues that Harry's attendance at his father's special day proves that he is showing a lot of respect to his family, despite the personal discomfort it may have caused him.
She notes that lesser men would not have gone at all and that people who criticize him for betraying his family should reconsider their stance.
