Prince William, heir to the British throne, visited New York City solo for two days. His wife, Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, stayed in the U.K.
"When Harry and Meghan swept into New York last May, they flew in on a private jet and brought with them all the baggage and complaints they’d been carting around for years," he argued."The Sussexes seemed determined to prove that they, like Princess Diana, were being unfairly hounded by the press.
A spokesperson for the couple called it a"relentless pursuit," one that resulted in"multiple near collisions." "While being a public figure comes with a level of interest from the public, it should never come at the cost of anyone’s safety."criticized the"reckless and irresponsible" incident during a press conference but also said he found it"hard to believe" a"two-hour, high-speed chase" happened in the densely-populated city wrought with traffic, pedestrians and ongoing construction projects.
In comparison, William’s trip was drama-free. He took a commercial flight for his first visit to the city since 2014. During the summit on Tuesday, the father of three, who is heir to the British throne, said he went running in Central Park that morning. According to People magazine, he secretly joined many New Yorkers on his run around 7 a.m.
"By contrast, William was sticking to the script, focusing not on himself, but on climate change, the cause he journeyed to the U.S. to promote," said Andersen."A little decorum and self-restraint are things Harry and Meghan could learn from William and Kate, but that’s not what the Sussexes are all about."
"It’s interesting because it's one of the criticisms Harry and Meghan faced," he added."They walked away from royal life and royal tours, and yet they seem to be doing their own sort of mini ones that look and feel the same as official visits."
