Pictures showed Harry arriving at the track on Sunday afternoon, waving to the fans and interacting with the crews working behind the scenes.
Harry has previously been open about his love for racing, even revealing that he used to race against Grand Prix winner Johnny Herbert in go-karting.
This recent appearance came just a week after Harry and Meghan Markle returned from a short break on the island of Canouan in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The couple arrived back in Atlanta, Georgia, via a private jet before continuing on to California. It appeared that they had left their two children, Archie and Lilibet, at home. This led to questions about Harry's role as a father and why he didn't take Archie for a day out at the motor racing event.
Interestingly, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, was also at the same event with his three-year-old son, X AE A-XII. However, the media didn't seem to push headlines and articles about Musk's presence to the same extent. Some pointed out that maybe Musk didn't pay for PR to promote his attendance.
Users on social media spotted Musk's Tesla Cybertruck at the Austin, Texas Formula 1 event at the Circuit of the Americas on Sunday. It wasn't long before many confirmed Musk and X's presence at the event. Both Musk and X were seen in the audience, wearing headphones as they watched the race. X even removed his headphones at one point, while Musk sported his signature aviator sunglasses.
Musk has expressed his appreciation for racing and Formula 1 in the past, and he's frequently seen in public with his son, X AE A-XII. They were reportedly seated in the Mercedes-Benz garage for the race, just like Prince Harry. However, they weren't pictured together at the event.
Some commenters on social media noted that Musk seemed to have no interest in Harry and suggested that Musk is focused on his real work and his genuine family. They contrasted Musk's actions with Harry's, implying that Musk, as a father, values spending time with his son more than seeking publicity.
In essence, the narrative here hints at a difference in priorities and values between Prince Harry and Elon Musk, particularly when it comes to their family lives and public appearances.
