Even though Prince Harry and Meghan Marklehave distanced themselves from their royal roles, they remain a rare sight in public events. Their outings are generally confined to charity functions, major interviews, or meticulously planned appearances, making any unscripted sightings noteworthy.
Though they aren’t active royals anymore, they still face certain expectations linked to their titles. Nevertheless, they seem unconcerned with adhering strictly to royal traditions. Their recent appearance on TikTok, where they joined popular trends like social media figures rather than royals, likely surprised many.
Harry and Meghan embrace social media
One of their rare social media moments occurred during the seventh edition of the Invictus Games in Canada, an event that holds significant meaning for Harry. He established these games in 2014 to recognize injured and ill service members, gathering over 500 athletes from 23 countries to highlight resilience and strength.
True to his easy-going nature, Harry showcased a relaxed demeanor at the event. Before his heartfelt opening speech, he was seen dancing, joking, and sharing warm embraces with competitors. A notable highlight was his unexpected appearance in a TikTok video created by Meghan with singer Nelly Furtado—an uncharacteristically contemporary and informal move for someone of royal status.
A Royal rebel’s playful side
In the video, Harry humorously popped up in the background of a selfie taken by Meghan and Nelly, completely overshadowing the traditional ‘royal image’—much to the delight of both the singer and Meghan. While such playful behavior may charm fans, it diverges significantly from the polished public persona that the royal family typically maintains.
Harry’s casual TikTok moments stand in stark contrast to the strict royal upbringing he experienced. From an early age, he learned to follow numerous rules, none likely involving spontaneous appearances in TikToks. Now, he embraces a more easy-going and relatable image, regardless of his family’s views on it.
