Prince Harry’s New York speech apparently dismisses distancing rumours with Meghan Markle
On Tuesday in New York, Prince Harry made a powerful statement about his role as a father and his unwavering dedication to his family in an emotional speech that put to rest rumours of him enjoying time apart from them.
Speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative, where he promoted the Parents Network, a charity he and Meghan Markle founded to protect children from the dangers of social media, Harry referenced his own children, saying, “My lock screen is a picture of my kids, what is yours?” The screen behind him then displayed the heartbreaking images of children who had taken their own lives due to social media bullying.
“These children and thousands more, meant the world to their families. The beautiful faces you see before you, their smiles, their dreams, all lost, all too soon and all because of social media.
It is why we launched the Parents Network, a global community that provides crucial support to parents whose children have suffered from the harmful effects of social media,” he then said.
The reference to his own family by the Duke seemed to be a calculated effort to oppose ongoing accusations from critics that Harry may enjoy spending time apart from his wife and kids.
