Marcellus Baz of the charity Switch Up said that he supports Prince Harry and Meghan's wish to have more freedom to do what they want while "keeping the clout" as royals. Baz believes in Prince Harry's genuine care for the vulnerable people he is helping.
Dr. Laura Waters of the Terrence Higgins Trust said that she sees Prince Harry as the most normal person in the royal family. Waters met the Duke of Sussex in 2017 when he came to Nottingham for World AIDS Day and she sensed his huge loyalty for the charities that he and his wife patronize.
Henry Kulaya has seen Prince Harry four times and Meghan twice in one year. He said that the duke is a down-to-earth guy while Megan shares a similar enthusiasm for helping disadvantaged children.
Dave Wiseman, who co-founded Invictus Games with the Duke of Sussex, said that Prince Harry served his country while in and out of uniform. Wiseman, who is also from the military, also said that the royal has helped thousands and inspired millions.
The Invictus Games co-founder made a statement after Prince Harry was criticized by other men in service for defying Queen Elizabeth following their bombshell announcement to step back from their royal life. Wiseman brought up Prince Harry's time in the military to remind the critics of the duke, in fact, did his duties.
Meanwhile, the staunchest supporters of the Duchess of Sussex are on Twitter, per Harper's Bazaar. Many netizens on this social media platform believe that this crisis in the royal family is rooted and racism and that it was good for Prince Harry and Meghan to get out of The Firm. Some also praised Prince Harry for sticking it up for his wife even if it will soil his relationship with his family.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, recently, received Queen Elizabeth's blessing and support to step back and split their time between London and Canada. Though the royal family was initially disappointed and hurt by their hasty announcement, Her Majesty, Prince Charles and Prince William, along with Prince Harry, came to an agreement after their face-to-face meeting in Sandringham last Monday.
