Meghan Markle jumps into a furnace fire to save Prince Harry, Claims Royal Expert
Meghan Markle recently put her Hollywood future at risk, and it was all for Prince Harry, according to chief royal correspondent at Newsweek, Jack Royston. During his appearance on The Royal Report podcast, Royston highlighted the potential consequences of Markle’s support for her husband.
Royston pointed out that a simple gesture like ‘clapping’ could have had significant implications for her career in Hollywood. “She clapped for Harry, and she was there in the audience,” he said. “She could have tried to stay home and let Harry kind of step into the fire, step into the furnace alone. Yet she chose to be there for her husband, and she kind of risked putting her own neck on the line and her own reputation on the table to make sure he didn’t face an uncertain crowd alone.”
Royston also suggested an alternative reason for the Duchess of Sussex’s decision to attend the event, noting that it might have looked strange if Meghan hadn’t shown up, especially since Serena Williams was hosting. “It would have looked very kind of out of place if, you know one of your best friends was hosting and your husband’s collecting an award for you to stay home,” he said.
Royston emphasized that there was no neutral option for Meghan. “You would have to think that it would look deliberate for people, so there was no neutral option for her. She had to choose to stand with Harry or choose to abandon him. But you know clearly, both from a PR point of view and from a marital health point of view, I think it’s very good that she chose to stand by him.”
By attending the event and showing her support for Prince Harry, Meghan Markle demonstrated her commitment to their partnership, despite the potential risks to her own career. Royston’s insights highlight the complexities of balancing personal relationships and public perceptions, particularly for high-profile individuals like the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
As Meghan continues to navigate her post-royal life, her decision to support Harry at this event underscores the strength of their relationship and her willingness to face potential criticism to stand by her husband.
