Now, Harry, the ginger prince himself, is out and about in the Big Apple, doing his royal thing without his better half, Meghan. Where’s Meghan? Meghan is reportedly back in California, taking care of the kiddos.
According to body language expert Darren Stanton—yes, that’s a real job—who knew?—Harry appears happier than a kid in a candy store without Meghan by his side. Now, I'm not one to stir the pot, but pot stirrer extraordinaire Stanton claims Harry is clearly in his element and loves attending events solo. It’s like watching a teenager whose parents just left for the weekend—you can almost hear him shouting, "Freedom!" as he slides across the palace floors in his socks.
Apparently, when Harry’s flying solo, he’s all smiles and relaxation, but when Meghan’s around? Well, according to our body language guru, Harry’s about as relaxed as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. He’s all red-faced, lip-biting, and hand-wringing. Sounds like trying to explain to my husband why I need another gaming console!
Stanton claims this is the old version of Harry—the one who used to party in Vegas and dressed up as a Nazi for Halloween. Yikes! Remember that? But now, he’s cool as a cucumber, breathing easy, and flashing those pearly whites like he’s auditioning for a toothpaste commercial.
Now, I don’t know about you, but this whole situation is giving me serious royal bachelor vibes. I mean, Harry’s out in New York looking dapper and relaxed while Meghan’s back home with the kids. It’s like the plot of every Hallmark movie ever, except instead of a small-town bakery owner, we’ve got a prince.
But let’s not jump to conclusions here. Sure, Harry looks happier than a clam at high tide, but that doesn’t necessarily mean there’s trouble in paradise. Maybe he just really loves New York, or perhaps he’s excited to honor his mom’s legacy. Or maybe, and I’m just spitballing here, he’s simply glad to have a break from changing diapers. I mean, come on—every prince needs a vacation from royal poop, am I right?
Stanton claims that when Meghan’s around, Harry’s always on guard, like a royal bodyguard with better hair. But without her? He’s as chill as a polar bear on an iceberg. Now, I’m no relationship expert, but if you’re more relaxed without your significant other, let’s just say that’s not exactly a good sign. It’s like saying you sleep better on the couch than in your own bed.
But here’s where I’ve got to pump the brakes a bit. We’re sitting here as armchair psychologists, trying to decode Harry’s every smile and shoulder movement as if we’re cracking The Da Vinci Code. But let’s be real: we don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors. For all we know, Harry could be FaceTiming Meghan every five minutes, showing her the sights of New York like an excited puppy.
And let’s not forget, Meghan’s supposedly not feeling well. I know what you’re thinking: convenient timing, huh? But come on, folks—everyone gets the sniffles, even duchesses! Although, if I were feeling under the weather, I’d much rather be in New York than stuck at home with two kids under five. Just saying!
But here’s what really gets my goat about this whole situation: we’re all so focused on whether Harry looks happier without Meghan or whether her absence means there’s trouble in paradise that we’re completely missing the point. Harry is in New York to honor his mother’s legacy—Princess Diana, the People’s Princess, who dedicated her life to charitable causes. Instead of focusing on the good work Harry’s doing, we’re all caught up in this royal soap opera. It’s like we’ve forgotten there are real people with real feelings involved.
Sure, they’re royalty—well, sort of. It’s complicated. But they’re also just a couple trying to navigate life in the public eye. And let me tell you, that’s no easy feat. It’s hard enough to keep a relationship going when your biggest worry is whose turn it is to do the dishes. Imagine trying to keep the spark alive when the whole world is watching your every move, analyzing your every smile, and speculating about your marriage every time you’re not joined at the hip.
But you know what? Maybe there’s a silver lining here. Maybe this solo trip is exactly what Harry needs: a chance to reconnect with his roots, to honor his mother’s memory, and to just be Harry for a while—not Prince Harry, not Meghan’s husband, not Archie and Lilibet’s dad—just Harry. And let’s be honest: we could all use a break sometimes. I mean, don’t get me wrong—I love my family more than anything, but there are days when I’d give my left arm for a solo trip to New York. Heck, I’d settle for a solo trip to the grocery store without someone asking me to buy more Cheetos!
So, what’s the takeaway from all this? Well, for one, we should probably take a deep breath and step back from the royal rumor mill for a hot minute. Two: maybe we should focus on the good work Harry’s doing and less on whether his smile reaches his eyes or not. And three: let’s all remember that, at the end of the day, Harry and Meghan are just two people trying to figure out this crazy thing called life—just like the rest of us. Will there be bumps along the road? Sure. Will there be times when one of them looks happier than the other? Absolutely. Does that mean we should start planning for the Royal Bachelor’s second chance at love? Probably not.
