Overview
- Harry and Meghan attended a Baby2Baby fundraiser at Los Angeles’ Pacific Design Center during the UK’s Remembrance observances, drawing criticism in some coverage.
- Images from the event showed the couple posing with celebrities including Serena Williams, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez.
- Days earlier, Harry published an essay titled “The Bond, The Banter, The Bravery: What it means to be British,” writing, “though currently, I may live in the United States.”
- Royal commentators Jennie Bond and Judi James argue that his use of the word “currently” suggests he may be leaving the door open to a future UK return, framing it as interpretation rather than fact.
- The North American engagements coincided with Prince William’s Brazil visit for the Earthshot Prize and COP30, and sources cited by the Mirror say Harry’s announcement timing was constrained after stepping back from working royal roles.
