During an interview on The Howard Stern Show, Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters recounted a comical incident involving Prince Harry.
The unexpected slap occurred in 2015 while the band was touring Europe, and Grohl, the former drummer of Nirvana, had recently broken his leg during a performance.
As Grohl was recovering, Prince Harry paid a surprise visit to their hotel suite to check on him.
Recalling the story, Grohl described Prince Harry’s thoughtful gesture, saying, “He brought me this thing to hold my iPad so I could just watch movies.”
Grohl added, “It was great.
He was cool,” before revealing that the Prince had also playfully smacked Hawkins in the face.
Hawkins admitted, “‘It pissed me off, actually.'”
He then humorously told the Prince, “‘I’m still tired.
I’m so jet-lagged.
I can’t wake up.'”
Without warning, Prince Harry playfully slapped the rock drummer in the face.
The incident sparked controversy, with some questioning Prince Harry’s behavior and suggesting a lack of boundaries.
This comes as no surprise, given his past antics, such as throwing people into a pool.
It is hoped that he does not exhibit the same behavior towards Meghan when she expresses frustration or anger towards others.
Critics argue that Prince Harry lacks awareness, etiquette, and social cues, believing he is funny and cute without understanding what is appropriate.
The recent accusation adds to the ongoing discussion about Prince Harry’s potential reintegration into the royal family.
Royal expert Angela Levin suggests that a significant display of humility from the Duke could pave the way for his return.
Levin, who spent a year in close proximity to Prince Harry and authored a biography about him in 2018, shared her insights with Sky News Australia, shedding light on the complexity surrounding his rumored desire to come back to the UK.
While Meghan Markle appears hesitant about the idea, Levin outlines a potential path for Prince Harry’s re-entry into the royal fold.
She emphasizes the importance of an apology, specifically highlighting the need for a genuine expression of regret over a specific remark.
This would be a crucial step towards gaining acceptance from King Charles and the broader royal establishment.
Levin also stresses the significance of Prince Harry’s willingness to compromise.
She acknowledges his persistent demands for apologies from King Charles and Prince William, dating back to childhood incidents, as a potential stumbling block in the reconciliation process.
Resolving deep-seated family disagreements is a complex task that requires careful consideration and patience.
Levin cautions against hasty attempts at reconciliation, emphasizing the need for genuine healing and understanding, which may take weeks or even months to achieve.
