Prince Harry participated in a charity polo match against his brother William on July 10, 2019. Both Princess Catherine and Meghan Markle were present, showing support for their husbands and bringing their children along.
However, according to the report, Harry's absence for 48 hours following the game caused concerns within the palace. The source implied that Harry's discontentment with Meghan Markle might have played a role.
During the event, Harry appeared to be somewhat uncontrollable, causing worry among those close to him. Despite hopes that the joint engagement would help resolve any reported rift, the event seemed to add to the prince's stress. Tensions and controversies surrounding revelations about their son, brought to light by Meghan Markle, further intensified the situation. While Harry managed to smile at his son and take some time off the field, he appeared tense and displayed a disdainful look toward his wife.
Insiders claimed that Harry was furious with Meghan for bringing the baby doll to the match. Reportedly, he left the polo field early and went into hiding. Meghan quickly carried the dolls away from the polo match but was accidentally discovered by Prince William's friends, who had come to support him. They wrapped the baby doll in blankets despite the heat.
The infamous photo of Meghan holding Archie at the polo match circulated widely. Meghan had awkwardly crashed the event, holding Archie in a peculiar manner. In the background of the photo were Charlie and Nikki Gilks, friends of William and Kate. Their expressions conveyed surprise and horror upon learning the truth about the doll. The day at the polo appeared odd, as Kate, known for her love of babies, refrained from interacting with Archie. Meghan did not allow anyone else to engage with him either. She did not bend down to his level or encourage interaction, which added to the awkwardness and distance perceived by observers.
The photo series primarily captured Meghan walking around while Harry met her at the car. In every picture, Archie's arm remained in the same position. It is unclear how long this sequence of photos took, but from the time they watched the polo match to Harry finishing with the horse and approaching the car, Archie never moved. Some sources claimed that Meghan wasn't initially invited to the polo match and rushed in after it had started, with Harry seemingly having asked her to leave.
Other sources described the situation as quite alarming, as the couple desired to keep details about their baby private. It becomes evident that there are issues on Harry's mind that he's not happy with regarding Meghan Markle. Meghan, on her part, appeared pensive, holding Archie close and barely interacting with her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, who attended the game with Prince George, Charlotte, and Louis.
Harry's two-day disappearance created a flurry of drama within the palace, leaving many curious about the underlying reasons for his sudden absence.
