Prince Harry’s one-word response to harmful Meghan Markle headline

Prince Harry's one-word response to harmful Meghan Markle story - 'Sad yet powerful'

60 Minutes

Prince Harry’s reaction to a hurtful headline about Meghan Markle has gone viral, as fans praise the Duke for his response and thoughtfulness.

The reaction, which has resurfaced on TikTok, shows Prince Harry speaking to 60 Minutes about his life in the royal family.

The Duke of Sussex opened up about the first headline he read about his girlfriend at the time, Meghan Markle, back in 2016.

The tabloid claimed the TV star was ‘(almost) straight outta Compton’, and it took the 39-year-old back. The only word he could mutter was, ‘Woah’, knocking his head back as if he’s been struck physically.

The Mail on Sunday ran the story suggesting the Duchess of Sussex was from a ‘gang-scarred home’ in Los Angeles days after their relationship became public.

However, other reports noted the truth, on how the Suits actress grew up in the more affluent area of View Park-Windsor Hills, instead.

The dad-of-two speaking about this on 60 minutes has resurfaced, with Prince Harry talking about the headline about his wife Meghan Markle in a press run before his book Spare came out in January 2023.

It has been viewed more than 120,000 times and liked over 7,000, and fans are glad he is in a better place now.

When Anderson Cooper asks the Duke what happened when he went to his dad King Charles and brother Prince William, about the harmful stories, and Harry chose to release a statement, it made them ‘furious’, because it ‘made them look bad’.

The Duke spoke on how he felt his family’s girlfriends and wives received similar backlash from the press, but the royals didn’t do anything, he says.

He commented on the ‘racial undertones on comment pieces’ not being acceptable.

Fans have praised the Invictus Games founder.
