Prince Harry, the younger son of King Charles III, has embarked on a solo trip to Japan to enhance his international profile through polo and philanthropy. The Duke of Sussex arrived in Tokyo, as shared by royal biographer Omid Scobie on social media. He is set to participate in the ISPS Sports Values Summit, a philanthropy-focused event, in Tokyo.
While Prince Harry’s solo journey is aimed at philanthropic engagement and sports participation, it has sparked speculation about the state of his marriage with Meghan Markle. Meghan is staying in their Montecito home in California to care for their children, Archie and Lilibet. Some experts suggest that Harry’s solo endeavors could either strain their five-year-long marriage or reveal hidden strengths.
Omid Scobie shared footage of Prince Harry’s arrival at Haneda Airport, highlighting his participation in the ISPS Sports Values Summit. The Duke is also expected to join the Sentebale Polo Cup in Singapore on August 12.
This trip comes shortly after it was revealed that Harry and Meghan secured the rights to adapt a best-selling romantic book for Netflix, signaling their shift into fiction production.
The Duke’s visit to Japan has stirred memories of a royal crisis the nation experienced two years ago when Princess Mako left the Japanese monarchy to marry her longtime boyfriend and relocate to the United States. While Princess Mako has maintained a low profile, her decision to leave the monarchy bears some parallels to Meghan and Harry’s departure from the United Kingdom.
Amid ongoing rumors of a potential rift and divorce between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, relationship expert Sally Baker from Working On The Body suggests that the solo trip could test their marriage, potentially causing strain or revealing hidden strengths.
Prince Harry’s journey to Japan and his subsequent participation in the ISPS Handa Polo Cup in Singapore highlight his commitment to philanthropic endeavors and his continued efforts to promote social causes on a global stage.
