Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a low-key return to New York City to participate in an event on World Mental Health Day.

The couple, representing the Archwell Foundation, attended the Project Healthy Minds event at Hudson Yards on Tuesday.

During the panel discussion, they shed light on the importance of mental wellness in the digital age.

However, their presence did not generate much excitement among New Yorkers, as no crowds were seen in the Hudson Yards area during their arrival and departure.

When locals were asked about their thoughts on Harry and Meghan being in New York, many expressed indifference.

Carla Mendes, a 22-year-old resident from the Bronx, admitted that she did not even know they were in town.

She mentioned that if she had the chance to see them, it would be cool, but overall, their presence did not matter to her.

Similarly, most tourists and locals seemed unbothered by the royal couple’s visit, despite several black SUVs parked outside the venue.

Nevertheless, there was one dedicated royal fan who made sure to attend the event.

A. McGuinness, an author from New Jersey, expressed her admiration for the entire royal family and described herself as a loyal follower.

However, even she acknowledged the lack of crowd during Harry and Meghan’s visit.

McGuinness noted that she had been at the event for almost six or seven hours and observed a calm and respectful atmosphere.

She compared it to Prince William’s visit, which attracted huge crowds, extensive security measures, and an overwhelming reception.

The contrast between the two visits diminished the impact of Harry and Meghan’s presence in New York.

Interestingly, the video footage of the mental health panel failed to provide an accurate representation of the audience size.

In one video clip featuring Meghan Markle and Harry speaking, only the back of approximately eight heads could be counted.

The camera did not pan to show the rest of the audience, making it difficult to estimate the number of attendees.

This deliberate choice may have been made to conceal the fact that the event did not attract a substantial audience.

Adding to the scrutiny, Meghan was caught on camera pushing Harry aside as he attempted to shake hands with an attendee.

The moment, captured by the Daily Mail, showed Meghan prioritizing her own handshake with the guest.

It is evident in the video that both Harry and the man reached out to shake hands before Meghan intervened.

Harry then proceeded to wipe his nose and shake the gentleman’s hand.

The guest appeared to be somewhat regretful, avoiding eye contact and biting his lip.

This incident sparked criticism towards Meghan, with claims of inappropriate behavior, excessive hugging of strangers, and diminishing Harry’s image.

Some even compared her actions to that of a three-year-old interrupting a handshake to hug someone wearing a pepper t-shirt, further fueling the negative sentiment towards her.

The ongoing controversies surrounding Meghan’s behavior have led to public disapproval and frustration.

Critics argue that Harry has been emasculated, separated from his family, and isolated from his children.

He is constantly subjected to ridicule and appears to be a victim of domestic abuse.

The incident at the mental health event only added to the perception that Meghan lacks respect and proper manners.

In conclusion, Harry and Meghan’s return to New York City for a mental health event did not create the anticipated buzz among the locals.

The absence of crowds during their arrival and departure indicated a lack of enthusiasm.

Furthermore, the limited video coverage of the event raised questions about the actual audience size.
