James Haskell, a close friend of Prince Harry, playfully hinted at the Duke of Sussex losing a bit of his former lightheartedness since marrying Meghan Markle.
The friendship between Prince Harry and Haskell dates back to their first encounter at the 2011 wedding of Mike Tindall and Zara Phillips, where they struck a rapport. Haskell notably defended Harry against criticism following the release of his memoir, 'Spare,' earlier this year.
During a recent live podcast event hosted by Haskell and Tindall, the former rugby player humorously reminisced about his initial interactions with Harry. He remarked, 'I ran into Prince Harry, who was thoroughly enjoying himself. That was before he met Meghan, so he was a bit more carefree.'
Despite facing criticism over his memoir, Prince Harry received support from friends like Haskell, who empathized with Harry and Meghan's perceived struggles. Haskell emphasized the importance of standing by someone who feels misrepresented and cornered.
The jovial comment from Haskell offers a glimpse into the Duke's perceived change in demeanor since his relationship with Meghan Markle, albeit delivered in a light-hearted manner during the podcast appearance."
