But one thing was conspicuously missing from his entourage: where was his cherished Meghan Markle? Witnesses claimed that Harry was living out his Formula 1 ambitions in Austin, Texas, where he had exclusive access to the Mercedes garage behind closed doors. Still, Meghan? She was noticeably absent.
Now, what's fascinating here is that Meghan is American herself, yet she chose not to accompany her husband to the track. Is there trouble in paradise? It's worth noting that they displayed signs of discord after their romantic Caribbean getaway. A body language expert even noted a sense of separation between the couple upon their return.
While Harry initially appeared cheerful at the Grand Prix event, that smile swiftly faded when the crowd began to voice their dissent. What's even more intriguing is that during the event, Harry was seen sporting headphones, and his pupils appeared to be as tiny as pinpricks. He was fidgety and seemed rather disengaged, almost as if he were putting on a show for the cameras in an attempt to appear engaged and intelligent, but it came off as off-putting.
It's safer to say that Harry's presence at the Grand Prix was more about seeking attention than genuinely enjoying the event. But the embarrassment didn't stop there. Children at the Rugby World Cup decided to take a dig at him with a poster, even though he wasn't present. The poster compared Harry to South African rugby player Steven Kof, bearing the text "We have the better ginger." Ouch. It seems these kids prefer Steven over Harry.
This incident raises an interesting question: Could it be that Harry and Meghan's grand idea of moving to South Africa and living the dream lifestyle is nothing but a pipe dream? Some believe they wouldn't thrive there because they lack what it takes. Harry's perception of Africa appears rooted in colonial notions, where people cater to his every whim.
And if you think international mishaps end there, think again. Just last week, Catherine was attending an event when some Frenchmen in the crowd held up signs asking her to divorce William and marry them instead. Quite a stark contrast to the treatment Harry and Meghan receive in South Africa.
In the grand scheme of things, it seems that Harry and Meghan have burned more bridges than they've built. While they may dream of exotic living, their reality appears to fall short of expectations. Will they ever truly find a place to call home? Only time will reveal the answer. For now, it's clear that their idyllic dreams are a far cry from reality.
