Prince Harry’s Next Solo Trip May Be An Attempt To Prove His Relevance

A royal expert said that Prince Harry’s upcoming trip to New York to represent Archewell Foundation at the UN General Assembly High-level Week and Climate Week, where his Meghan Markle will not accompany him, is a “further attempt to prove he is relevant.” 

His brother Prince William is also expected to be in New York at the same time for the Earthshot Prize.

Prince Harry’s Attempt To Prove His Relevance 

“If you are a member of the Royal Family, you just are relevant. If you’re a semi-detached member of the Royal Family living in California, you have to be on the move to show that you are of some worth to the world, hence the recent trips with his wife to Nigeria and Colombia,” said Former BBC Royal Correspondent Michael Cole said on GB News, calls it as a Prince Harry’s attempt to prove his relevance after retiring from the royal duties. 

Cole also talked about the possible reasons for Markle Meghan’s not joining Harry on the trip, citing the reasons as last year’s New York car chase involving the Sussexes. 

“We don’t know why she’s not going, perhaps she has other things to do. Jam to make, people to talk to on her hilltop in Montecito,” Cole added.

“Although the taxi driver and indeed the mayor of New York both weighed in and poured cold water on that tale, of them being pursued by paparazzi and being scared out of their lives,” he added while questioning their concern about another two-hour relentless car chase which happened last year in New York. 

“They’ve Got Celebrity, and That’s A Fast-Depleting Factor”

Host Bev Turner remarked that the prince’s solo trip to New York is “triggering speculation,” given that his life is “built on his relationship” with Meghan, said if you base your career entirely on your personal life, your relationship, and your marriage, as they have in their Netflix documentary and book. 

“What have they got to sell? They’ve got celebrity, and that’s a fast-depleting factor in all of this. And in America, they don’t want what was yesterday, they want what’s next,” Cole said while agreeing with Turner.

Cole said Prince Harry and Markle Meghan come immediately all the time to prove their relevance and importance 

“But they could have done an extremely good job within the Royal Family of doing that – they would have had the structure and the support to do wonderful work around the 54 countries of the Commonwealth,” he added.

“They started to do it, and they were doing it rather well, and she was being an asset. But then suddenly in 2020, they took fright, jumped on a plane to Canada and then onto California, which may have been her destination all along,” He concluded.
