Having flown to the UK upon receiving the distressing news directly from his father, Prince Harry vowed to make frequent visits to his family during this challenging time, as stated in an interview with Good Morning America.
However, royal author Tom Quinn, speaking to the Mirror, suggests that Prince Harry faces a dilemma. The Duke of Sussex must weigh concerns about inadequate security in his home country and the reluctance of his wife, Meghan Markle, to accompany him.
Quinn emphasizes the importance for Prince Harry to maintain his caring image, one that he and Meghan have cultivated as a central part of their brand. He underscores that Harry's visit to his ailing father is crucial to uphold this image, despite potential challenges.
While acknowledging the pressures Harry faces, including the recent loss in his High Court challenge, Quinn emphasizes the necessity for Prince Harry to prioritize familial support, particularly given his public persona as a compassionate member of the Royal Family.
Quinn concludes by highlighting the potential public perception if Prince Harry neglects to visit his father promptly. He questions how it would reflect on Harry's commitment to caring and sharing, integral aspects of his and Meghan's mission and brand.
