Prince Harry's 'All I Can See Is Phones' Remark Sparks Criticism
9 Nov
Summary
- Prince Harry playfully asked an audience to put down their phones.
- His comment at a London awards ceremony drew criticism.
- Critics called the remark entitled and contradictory behavior.
Prince Harry recently attended the Wanderlust Reader Travel Awards, held on Thursday, November 5, at London's Old Royal Naval College. During his surprise keynote address, the Duke of Sussex playfully remarked to the audience, "All I can see is phones," seemingly irritated by the number of devices recording him. The crowd responded with laughter, indicating they perceived his comment as lighthearted.
However, the Duke's remark has since drawn criticism. Insiders suggested that the comment was ironic and displayed diva-like behavior, given that he was making a public appearance. Some interpreted his reaction as indicative of an uneasy relationship with public attention, noting the contradiction of a royal uncomfortable with people taking photos. This perception risks making him appear entitled, even when attempting humor.
