Prince Harry experienced a challenging solo outing at the annual One805Live! charity concert in California after Meghan Markle had to pull out last minute due to illness. Unfortunately for the Duke of SusđâŻđ, the evening didnât go as smoothly as he had hoped, resulting in a couple of awkward moments that left him feeling humiliated.
Firstly, musician Richard Marx appeared not to recognise the Duke of SusđâŻđ as he waited for him by the side of the stage.
Marx went to walk past Harry but was then pointed in Harry’s direction following his performance at the concert.
During a brief exchange, Prince Harry was heard saying to Marx: “Hey! Well done.”
In another awkward moment, Marx’s wife, Daisy Fuentes, mistakenly tagged Prince William’s Instagram account after uploading a photo of Prince Harry at the event.
Fuentes corrected the error, tagging a fan-run Prince Harry account instead.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will continue to have time apart as the Duke of SusđâŻđ focuses on work commitments in New York and London. This week, Harry is set to take part in a series of solo appearances, starting with a high-profile dinner organized by the World Health Organization (WHO) that took place yesterday.
At the event, Harry, 40, honored survivors of childhood violence and engaged in discussions about its impact on mental health, marking the beginning of his busy schedule.
The royal rubbed shoulders with distinguished guests, including Queen Mathilde of Belgium and Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo at the glitzy dinner.
Officials from Sweden, Colombia, Zimbabwe, Georgia, Canada, Iceland, and Brazil were also present, as was actor Forest Whitaker.
The dinner begins a week-long series of engagements for the royal in the Big Apple.
A spokesperson for the Duke outlined his upcoming schedule, stating: “During UN General Assembly High-level Week and Climate Week in New York City, Prince Harry, The Duke of SusđâŻđ, will be in town to advance a number of his patronages and philanthropic initiatives.”
