Prince Harry’s trip to the rodeo is dividing fan bases. If the British media found rather drastic words, his appearance in the States was celebrated by the majority.
MONTECITO – The Duke of Sussex, 37, was spotted at the Stockyards Championship Rodeo on Saturday. In casual clothes and a cowboy hat, the prince mingled with the spectators in Texas. It is quite possible that he now regrets this appearance somewhat. Because both the US media and the British press pounced on the ex-Royal.
The fan voices were also very mixed.*
“Where was Prince Harry on Saturday night? Oooooh, he was just hanging out behind the scenes at the Stockyards Championship Rodeo! Loooove it!! Thanks for visiting!” Championship Rodeo Secretary Cindy Reid wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post celebrating the Duke’s appearance at Fort Worth’s Cowtown Coliseum the day after the event.
Page Six also posted photos, shared by other attendees on social media, of the Duke of Sussex* wearing a cowboy hat and casual *button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up. The American TV presenters from Entertainment Tonight, Nischelle Turner and Kevin Frazier then joked with a wink that Duchess Meghan’s husband (40) was spreading “Indiana Jones vibes” with his appearance.
Across the pond, the TV moment was apparently interpreted differently. Among other things, the British “Daily Mail” saw it as more of a mockery and also referred to a source who knew the following about Harry’s rodeo visit: “The funny thing is that most people didn’t recognize him or didn’t care. “There was also harsh criticism. The father of two was accused of “lack of respect” because his wife Meghan is committed to animal welfare*. The appearance of Queen Elizabeth II’s grandson * (95) was “shocking”, it said.
Only the British royal expert and author of the book “Finding Freedom”, Omid Scobie* (39), tried to be neutral. * 24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
