Meghan Markle recently put her Hollywood future at risk, and it was all for Prince Harry, according to the chief royal correspondent Newsweek MagazineJack Royston. During his appearance in The Royal Report PodcastRoyston highlighted the potential consequences of Markle’s support for her husband.
Royston noted that a gesture as simple as “clapping” could have had major implications for her Hollywood career. “She applauded Harry and was there in the audience,” he said. “She could have tried to stay home and let Harry go into the fire, into the oven alone. However, she chose to be there for her husband and in a way, risked her own neck and her own reputation to make sure he didn’t face an uncertain crowd alone.”
Royston also He suggested Another alternative reason for the Duchess of Sussex’s decision to attend the event was to point out that it might have seemed odd if Meghan hadn’t turned up, especially since Serena Williams was hosting. “It would have seemed very out of place if, you know, one of your best friends was hosting and your husband was collecting an award so you could stay home,” she said.
Royston stressed that there was no neutral option for Meghan. “You would have to think that people would think it was deliberate, so there was no neutral option for her. She had to choose whether to support Harry or abandon him. But you know clearly, both from a public relations point of view and from a marital health point of view, that I think it’s very good that she chose to support him.”
By attending the event and showing her support for Prince Harry, Meghan Markle demonstrated her commitment to their relationship, despite the potential risks to her own career. Royston’s remarks highlight the complexities of balancing personal relationships and public perceptions, particularly for high-profile individuals like the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
As Meghan continues her post-royal life, her decision to support Harry at this event underscores the strength of their relationship and her willingness to face potential criticism to support her husband.
