Prince Harry appears unfazed by the ongoing royal feud as the Duke of Sussex looks “confident and happy”, one royal expert has claimed.
Former royal butler Grant Harrold, who worked for the now-King Charles between 2004 and 2011, shares that Harry appears back to his “usual self” during his recent public appearance.
Harry attended the Living Legends of Aviation Awards in Beverly Hills last week, a ceremony which was hosted by actor John Travolta. The former senior royal was honoured at the 21st annual awards, where he was named a “Living Legend”.
Speaking of his appearance, Mr Harrold said: “Despite all the negative stuff that has happened over the last couple of years, it hasn’t really put Harry back in any kind of way, what you saw on stage was Harry still very much his usual self.”
Speaking on behalf of Slingo, the expert added: “He’s confident and he’s happy and he’s obviously thrilled to have been given this award.”
Stepping out at the awards ceremony on January 19, Harry joined the likes of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong for the star-studded evening.
The decision to include the Harry’s name came off the back of his service in the British Armed Forces. Although expected to step out in support of her husband, Meghan was a no-show on Friday evening.
Meghan was not in attendance on Friday due to one of their children being unwell. It remains unknown which of the couple’s two children – Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two – was not very well.
Also speaking about Harry, body language expert Darren Stanton analysed Harry’s most-recent appearance in the US. Speaking on behalf of Betfair Roulette, Mr Stanton said that Harry appears more “relaxed” when he steps out without Meghan.
He said: “He tends to show huge microexpressions of happiness, more so when he’s on his own. When he’s with Meghan, he feels that he needs to protect her.
“However, when he’s by himself, he’s only got himself to cover for.” Mr Stanton added: “While he loves being around Meghan, these sort of solo engagements show Harry in a much more relaxed and confident light.”
