Prince Harry and Prince William both face a similar public relations challenge when attending official events; how to maintain strong public interest in what they are doing without the support of their high-profile spouses, a new episode of Newsweek‘s The Royal Report podcast has discussed.
Both William and Harry have undertaken a range of important solo public engagements in recent weeks. William attended several events connected with his homelessness initiative, Homewards; and Harry undertook a multiday working trip to New York.
Both of these undertakings have been made without Princess Kate—who has mostly stepped out of the public eye this year because of her cancer diagnosis and treatment—and Meghan, who remained in California with her children while Harry was in New York.
