Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have shocked the media with their unusual argument on camera.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who attended the Project Healthy Minds gala in New York earlier this week, were seen in a swift exchange of words on the red carpet.

Meghan, who was given ‘Humanitarians of the Year’ award with Prince Harry, was spotted telling the husband to remove his hand from her back.

This comes moments before Meghan told the audience: “Our children, Archie and Lili, are just six and four years old. Luckily still too young for social media, but we know that day is coming.”

“Like so many parents, we think constantly about how to embrace technology’s benefits, while safeguarding against its dangers. That hopeful intention of separation is rapidly becoming impossible.”

Harry also added: “This is a pivotal moment in our collective mission to protect children and support families in a digital age.”

Sophie has risen to the occasion amid Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s the ongoing conflict with senior royal members.

Sean Smith, who is an author of Sophie: Saving the Royal Family, which came out in July of this year, opened up about the Duchess of Edinburgh’s professional integrity and work commitment in a talk with GB News.

Mr Smith said that most of the prominent members of the monarchy are embroiled in a feud with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that has undermined the focus on meaningful work but a strong sense of responsibility in Sophie is not letting her deviate from what truly matters amid serious tensions in the Royal Family.

The author of Meghan Misunderstood said, “The media has been and continues to be obsessed with the family drama involving Harry, Meghan, William, Kate and Charles. It’s a soap opera.”

“(Meanwhile) Sophie (has been) comforting women and children refugees,” he noted.

For those unaware, the Duchess of Edinburgh has been putting in efforts to eradicate se*ual abuse against women in war zones for over ten years.

In 2019, she visited Kosovo and South Sudan to promote justice for victims as the Countess of Wessex before becoming the Duchess of Edinburgh in 2023 to promote justice for victims.

In April 2024, Sophie became the first member of the Royal Family who travelled to Ukraine, where she met President Volodymyr Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska and made efforts to end wartime se*xual violence.

A PR expert said that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s hit Netflix documentary was successful because it gave people an inside look at why they left the Royal family.

Speaking with The Express, PR expert Edward Coram-James said he believes the public’s interest was mainly about the drama surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s royal exit.

And that kind of story can only be told once, he noted, hinting at the reason why Meghan’s series With Love, Meghan, failed to grab similar views.

According to Coram-James, once the story about leaving the monarchy has been told, it is hard to keep the same level of public interest.

He said, “The success of the Harry & Meghan doc was built on a finite resource: the public’s insatiable curiosity about their decision to leave the royal family and the drama surrounding it.

“It was a one-time, explosive event,” the expert added.

“They pulled back the curtain on the monarchy, and that is a story you can only tell once.”
