Prince Harry Shines Solo at Charity Event, Expert Claims He’s “In His Element” Without Meghan MarklePrince Harry demonstrated he was “in his element” as he took the stage solo at the Santa Barbara One805Live! charity event, where Meghan Markle was noticeably absent, according to experts.

“While the two award recipients stand together looking tentative, Harry is in full splay mode, stretching an arm out to grab one man on the shoulder in a very informal display of recognition.

“In 2023, Harry and Meghan were seen at this event in a series of awkward-looking poses from Harry and a tricky microphone moment from Meghan, but this year his status and level of involvement looks clearer and his mic management far more adept.”
