Prince Harry Risks Coming Off As “Entitled” For Making This Joke Request

On Thursday, Nov. 5, Prince Harry took the stage for an unannounced keynote speech at the Wanderlust Reader Travel Awards at London’s Old Royal Naval College.

Moments after he took the stage, he cut his opening speech to express his displeasure over a large number of the audience choosing to record him.

“All I can see is phones,” he told the audience.

However, per a source, this comment sounds a bit standoffish, even though he tried to pass it off as a joke.

“The irony of Harry’s filming remark wasn’t lost on anyone. Harry turns up to give a surprise speech and then starts commenting on people filming him. He’s a famous royal making a public appearance, so it’s hardly surprising people wanted photographs. Some saw that as rather diva-like behavior.”

The RadarOnline source added, “Harry appeared to be joking, and people laughed along, but the exchange was interpreted as another example of his uneasy relationship with public attention. He wants people to listen to his message, but he cannot control how they react to seeing him.”

Speaking on Harry’s continued uneasiness to stand in front of cameras, the source opined, “There’s something rather contradictory about a prince who has spent his entire life in the spotlight appearing uncomfortable when people take out their phones. It’s the kind of reaction that risks making him look entitled, even when he’s trying to be funny.”

Prince Harry has previously faced criticism over his relationship with cameras and privacy, particularly when filming his own projects.

“Harry clearly wanted the focus to be on sustainable travel rather than his celebrity status. But when he draws attention to everyone filming him, he risks making himself the story instead. It can come across as a little precious, whether he intends it or not,” the source pointed out.

The glaring part is that the comment seems to have overshadowed whatever Harry got on the stage to say.

“Harry has an important message about responsible tourism, but moments like this can overshadow it. His comments were delivered with humor, yet critics and trolls online are now seizing on them as evidence that he still struggles with the attention that comes with being a royal.”

Meanwhile, reports about Netflix cameras potentially following Harry into Buckingham Palace have also sparked criticism.

Earlier Celeb Dirty Laundry coverage of Harry and Meghan’s relationship with the paparazzi also highlighted the attention surrounding the couple’s public appearances.

Annemarie’s Take

Prince Harry certainly has an interesting relationship with cameras! I can understand wanting people to pay attention to an important message instead of staring at their phones, but making a joke about it was always going to attract attention.

Personally, I think Harry would have been better off ignoring the phones and continuing his speech. Now, instead of discussing sustainable travel, everyone is talking about his reaction to being filmed!
