We did not see the
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle since last August. Their last official joint appearance was when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex embarked on a four-day tour of Colombia. Since then they have focused on solo projects that showed us their different personal ambitions, but at the same time raised doubts about the health of their not-so-long-standing marriage.
Now the youngest son of Charles III and his wife have returned to
appear united to star in a video dedicated to the fight against child abuse. Elegant and with the traditional poppy pinned to their lapel, to honor Remembrance Sunday like the rest of the Windsors, Harry and Meghan barely blink as they record a message at their home in Montecito about one of the issues that concern them most.
The video served to inaugurate the first United Nations world conference on
the elimination of violence against childrenwhich was held in Bogotá. It is the logical continuation of his recent trip to South America, at the invitation of Vice President Francia Márquez. A trip that was marked by the duchess’s colorful looks and by the royal’s attack on Elon Musk, now a close friend of Donald Trump.

They took turns speaking in front of the cameras.. “We are at a crossroads,” Harry said, before noting “the urgent need to re-evaluate and redefine our approach to child protection” and adding that “now is the time to translate that awareness into meaningful action.” Meghan, for her part, outlined the role in this direction of her Archewell Foundation, which has made this serious problem its workhorse.
A video to counter separation rumors?
With their complaint, the couple reaffirms their common commitment to a more digitally just world. Both believe that focusing on the safety and well-being of children must lead to concrete action. But when the mother of princes Archie and Lilibet ends up assuring that they will achieve it “together”,
something doesn’t quite fit. Not in the skillfully rehearsed speech, but rather in the gestures.

As he says the word “together,” Prince Harry subtly slides his hand behind his wife’s back. A strange gesture. It also highlights that
They barely look at each other. However, there are those who have seen this surprise appearance as their response to the divorce rumors that have been circulating in the press for several months. A way to show your unity to silence them.
It has been his sudden distancing that has not ceased to raise questions.
Is the media couple distancing themselves? Are each of them stronger now on their own? Although in the video both show a discreet affection for each other, it has nothing to do with the usual charm that they have given off in previous appearances.
Do the Duke and Duchess of Sussex fear being deported by Trump?
When it was revealed last month that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had bought a house on the coast of Portugal, the reasons for the purchase remained a mystery. Why had the couple bought their first property in Europe after being evicted from Frogmore Cottage by King Charles early last year?

Now, things may have become clearer: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could have been
looking for an escape route in the event that his declared enemy, Donald Trump, returned to the White House. Something that has finally happened with his unmitigated victory over Kamala Harris.
The British media seem to agree that the Sussexes would be doing
increasingly “desperate” effortsas the ‘Daily Mail’ points out, for example, to build bridges to a new life across the Atlantic. Especially after the increasingly hostile comments from those around the Trump family. For example, a few weeks ago the president-elect’s son, Eric, called the dukes “bad apples” and echoed his father’s claims that Harry could be deported if the Republicans won.
