Still, some fans may be asking themselves why Prince Harry needed a fake Facebook account to begin with. One answer is that of course, there’s literally something like a billion Facebook users like Harry. Why shouldn’t the Duke of Sussex be able to use the social media platform to keep up with friends and family, etc. like so many others?
Prince Harry’s Fake Facebook Scandal
The reason Harry’s old Facebook account was deleted had to do with security. Security experts with Scotland Yard reportedly said that it wasn’t safe for Prince Harry to maintain the social media account given the fact that unsavory people might be able to gain information on things Harry was doing, places he was planning to visit, and who his friends happened to be. In other words, Harry’s Facebook account could have placed his friends in danger. Obviously Prince Harry didn’t want that.
Something worth noting here is that Prince Harry’s account was indeed a fake one. Harry used a fake name and a location in Africa as his “hometown.” It therefore wasn’t like Prince Harry just went out on Facebook as a prince of England and let all of his dirty laundry hang out for all to see!
Still, this begs the question for some … if Prince Harry had a “secret” Facebook page once, why couldn’t he have one again? Who is going to stop Harry from creating one? For that matter, why is everyone focusing solely on Prince Harry? What about Meghan Markle? Mightn’t she also have a fake Facebook account?
Is Cheating A Problem For Meghan Markle And Prince Harry?
Not that either Harry or Meghan wants to cheat on the other, but if they did, wouldn’t Facebook be the platform to begin an affair? After all, statistics show that up to 66% of divorce attorneys say that they’ve used evidence of Facebook cheating to bolster their cases in court!
Of course, one way that Harry and Meghan can keep tabs on each other (mistrust in a relationship isn’t really a good sign, but that’s not the point here) is to take note whether the other stays up late chatting on his or her cellphone.
For example, Harry might be up at 1:00 AM typing away on his phone, and Meghan wakes up and asks what he’s doing. Harry swipes his finger across his phone’s screen, sets it down on the night stand, and rolls over and says he was just checking his mail. However, what if Meghan had actually been awake and knew Harry was sitting there typing away for the last thirty minutes?
Now, no one is claiming that this is happening inside Harry and Meghan’s marriage. It’s just a fact that if Harry had a fake account once, there is really nothing stopping him from having one again … except, perhaps, motivation.
