Prince Harry embraced Meghan publicly to show unity after PR challenges.
The couple has now shared images of themselves nestling at Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles, where they were preparing meals for the needy and hungry to be delivered on Thanksgiving Day.
‘Harry has his arms around Meghan to stress their closeness after recent controversies,’ a royal source told the Daily Mail today.
It came after a PR problem sparked by their attendance at Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday, a row over denied accusations that the Duchess had been taking dresses from cover shoots without approval and adverse headlines linked to Meghan’s recent Harper’s Bazaar cover story.
The new image, posted by their Archewell foundation with the captions ‘Show up, do good’ and ‘Honouring the season through service’, showed a grinning Harry behind his wife, wrapping his arms around her tightly.
Meghan, surrounded by a sizable group of Our Big Kitchen employees and volunteers, is also grinning widely as she takes her husband’s hand and leans back into him.
Another royal insider told the Daily Mail today that the warm image was ‘very telling’ given the events of recent weeks – and suggested the engagement was clearly inspired by events carried out more regularly by the Prince and Princess of Wales with their children George, Charlotte and Louis.
The source added: ‘Harry is clearly very protective of his wife. They look very happy and close.’
Another source said the choice of image was a show of defiance and family – and a sign that they remain rooted in the US as a couple.
‘These are pictures that say everything about the Sussexes: an all-American event celebrating Thanksgiving, but a highly curated image issued after the visit via social media. They want to control their image and avoid dealing directly with the US press,’ the expert said.
‘One of the main reasons that Harry and Meghan lost the support of much of the British public was the feeling that they wanted it all ways. They want to be treated like royalty, keep royal titles for themselves and their children, but avoid much of the attention and scrutiny that goes with it.
‘Thanksgiving is all about families getting together. So naturally, the kids are there, but the public doesn’t get to see the faces of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the sixth and seventh in line to the throne’.
The Sussexes went to Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles with their children, who were involved in making cookies. A smiling Meghan held hands with Lilibet, who wore a tartan dress and had her hair in a braid, and watched on as Harry dished up a meal of mince, rice and peppers into a Tupperware box.
The charity event came after Harry and Meghan’s travels to Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party at Jeff Bezos’ mansion backfired after images of them partying inside were mysteriously deleted by the birthday girl and her daughter, Kim Kardashian, making headlines around the world.
Many people argue that this was a publicity stunt. Whether it was fabricated or not, Harry appeared to be content with his life and his wife, and of course, we can’t foresee the future, but some people out there figure they are Nostradamus!
What will happen to Harry and Meghan is unknown. They appear cheerful, but appearances may be misleading. But I hope the future is bright for them.
Harry has this reputation of being hen-pecked by his controlling wife, and somehow, I don’t really believe that. He has ginger hair, and we all know that ginger people have very fiery tempers, or do they?
If you’re a natural redhead, you’ve presumably heard some sort of stereotype about yourself. In fact, I would put money on it. However, these stereotypes are loosely founded on ancient myths and obsolete societal beliefs, but apparently, some stereotypical traits have been linked to redheads, which have been fused with our genetics. However, this still doesn’t make it true.
