Prince Harry’s latest appearance at the New York Times DealBook Summit
Prince Harry, the so-called “puppet prince,” reading off a carefully crafted script. It’s clear that this is all part of a damage control campaign, but here’s the problem: it’s not working.
Here’s the thing: when someone goes out of their way to publicly declare how strong their relationship is, especially in such a high-profile setting, it usually means the opposite. Think about it—why would a truly happy couple constantly feel the need to prove their happiness? It’s like when your neighbor is always telling you how amazing their marriage is… right before the moving trucks show up.
Look at William and Catherine, our beloved Prince and Princess of Wales. They never need to issue press releases or do orchestrated interviews about their relationship. They just live their lives with grace, no need to convince anyone. And that’s exactly what makes this whole thing feel off.
Now, let’s talk about the recent trend of Harry and Meghan’s professional separations. Isn’t it curious how they’re suddenly doing so many solo appearances? This isn't just coincidence—it's a carefully orchestrated move. This is what I like to call the "slow-motion separation." First, you create separate professional identities. Then, you start making solo appearances. Eventually, you normalize the distance. It’s all textbook.
Now, let’s focus on Harry’s demeanor at the DealBook Summit. Kate Mansey nailed it when she said it was strange for him to publicly address these rumors. And you know what else is strange? The way Harry tried to flip the script, claiming to feel sorry for the so-called "trolls." That’s a classic narcissistic deflection technique—when you can’t defend the truth, you attack the messenger.
And here’s something personal: as someone who’s watched Harry grow from a brave little boy to a strong military man, it physically pains me to see him like this now. The spark in his eyes is gone, replaced with rehearsed responses. The Harry we knew would never have abandoned his family, his duty, or his entire heritage. But now, he's been replaced by a Hollywood version of himself—one who speaks in therapy buzzwords.
And just look at the timing of all this! William and Catherine are out there doing incredible work, representing the monarchy with grace and dignity, while Harry’s putting on this performance. The contrast couldn’t be more stark. William and Catherine are tackling real issues, like mental health, early childhood development, and environmental conservation. And what’s Harry doing? We all know what he’s up to.
Here’s what I predict: we’re witnessing the early stages of what’s going to be one of the biggest royal stories ever. The signs are all there—the separate appearances, the over-the-top declarations of happiness. Trust me, I've been covering the royal family long enough to know that there's no smoke without fire. And these cracks are starting to show.
To those who will inevitably cry “hate,” let me be clear: this isn’t about hate. This is about calling out the obvious. I’ve seen enough public relationships to know that the ones that last don’t need constant public declarations of their strength. The strong ones show it through chemistry, not through speeches.
What we’re seeing with Harry and Meghan is the opposite. The truth will always come out, and when it does, remember you heard it here first. The facade is crumbling, and no amount of statements can hide what’s really going on behind those high walls.
