Prince Harry’s preoccupation with media scrutiny was evident even before he met his wife, Meghan Markle, according to Royal Correspondent Richard Palmer.
In a recent episode of Royal Roundup, Palmer shared details of a tour he took with the Duke of Sussex to the United States before 2016, where Harry’s fixation on public opinion became apparent.
During the trip, Harry was reportedly engrossed in press coverage of the event, particularly the public’s comments about him.
Palmer recalled a moment when Harry mentioned reading a story in Heat magazine, suggesting that one of his biggest fans might have been writing for them.
This behavior puzzled those around him, who questioned why he would be concerned about gossip magazines.
Palmer acknowledged that as journalists, they were accustomed to fact-checking and ensuring the accuracy of their reports.
However, Harry seemed to lump everyone in the media together, spending a significant amount of time poring over public comments on online stories.
The royal expert emphasized the importance of developing a thick skin for those in the public eye.
In a recent episode of the U.S. cartoon comedy series, South Park, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were parodied as the Prince and Princess of Canada.
The cartoon couple, who sought privacy in a small town while simultaneously attracting attention, wore outfits remarkably similar to those worn by Harry and Meghan during the Trooping the Colour ceremony in 2018.
The episode humorously depicted the couple holding signs that read “stop looking at us” and “we want our privacy,” as they embarked on a “we want privacy tour” to various countries.
The show also satirized Prince Harry’s upcoming memoir, titled “Spare,” which was portrayed in the cartoon as “Wag.”
In the episode, the prince character expressed his desire to be a normal person, stating that the constant attention was challenging to handle.
The news of Prince Harry’s media obsession has sparked discussions among royal enthusiasts.
Many speculate whether this fault played a significant role in the turmoil within the royal family.
