If I’m reading this correctly, Prince Harry just pulled a move straight out of his wife’s playbook. Remember when Meghan Markle took the microphone for an unplanned speech at the Invictus Games? Well, it seems Harry decided to follow suit at a recent Upfront Summit. He surprised attendees by stepping onto the stage unannounced, grabbing the mic, and delivering a speech that left the crowd initially stunned.
According to reports, Harry addressed the audience, calling them “leaders, creators, builders, and change-makers.” Sounds like one of those high-profile business events where networking and buzzwords reign supreme. But here’s the kicker: he wasn’t even scheduled to speak. So, much like his wife, Harry decided to seize the moment—literally.
Let’s be honest, it’s hard not to notice how much Harry seems to be channeling Meghan these days. From unplanned speeches to their shared love of the spotlight, it’s almost as if she’s rubbing off on him. And by “rubbing off,” I mean he’s now adopting her habit of making everything about themselves.
During his speech, Harry made a point to say, “I’m not one to be caught in the divide between left or right views—not cornered by a belief in blue or red.” Oh, really, Harry? Because we just found out—and I mean *literally* found out—that he donated over $600,000 to Democratic strategists. So much for being politically neutral, huh?
This revelation is even funnier when you consider the track record of these two. If they paid over $600,000 for strategic advice, can we really say it’s been money well spent? Given their ongoing PR disasters, it’s almost laughable. I wouldn’t be surprised if the strategists were thinking, “Let’s just take their money—they’re rich and clueless anyway.”
Harry went on to say, “I’ve approached everything in my life through the lens of service.” Service? Really? Because the Invictus Games, which were supposed to be about honoring veterans, have increasingly become about Harry and Meghan. Quick question: does anyone even remember who won the last Invictus Games? I know Great Britain took silver in wheelchair basketball, and I think the U.S. won gold, but beyond that, it’s all a blur.
He continued, “Before I moved, so much of my life revolved around charity. Since then, while my charities remain a core part of my life’s work…” Wait, hold on. Let’s not forget that these charities were essentially handed to him by the very royal family he now criticizes as “racist” and “oppressive.” And let’s not pretend Harry’s been out there grinding to build his own legacy. Most of his charitable endeavors were inherited, not earned.
Then came the buzzword overload: “I’ve also been focusing on upstream solutions and prevention-driven decisions and investments that address problems before they require fixing.” Translation: Harry loves to talk in vague, lofty terms without actually saying anything of substance. It’s like he’s auditioning for a TED Talk but forgot to bring the script.
He even touched on his upbringing, saying, “I was never allowed to vote.” Okay, Harry, but why are you weighing in on American politics now? And let’s not forget his claim of being “born into a life of service.” Sure, he was born into it, but he also walked away from it—alongside his “fake black wife,” as some might say.
Harry wrapped up his speech with, “These days, I’m determined to find and invest in solutions.” Ah, there’s that word again: *invest*. Because, of course, this summit was just another gathering of rich people looking to fund each other’s projects while patting themselves on the back.
At the end of the day, Harry’s speech was a masterclass in saying a lot without actually saying anything. It’s all vague talk, buzzwords, and self-aggrandizement. And while he may love the sound of his own voice, the rest of us are left wondering: when will the action match the rhetoric?
