Prince Harry Looked 'So Much Happier' Without Meghan Markle In Tokyo: 'His Royal Smile Is Back'
Videos don’t seem to lie, as previous video footage from last month showed that Prince Harry was all smiles when he touched down in Tokyo on August 8th, and he seemed very happy while waving to the crowds who were at Haneda Airport to greet him. Dressed in a black polo shirt and a black Archewell baseball hat, he was heard telling reporters it was "good to see you again" when he was asked how it felt to be back in Japan for the first time in four years.
The Duke of Sussex flew to Japan to attend the International Sports Promotion Society Sports Values Summit, which took place on Wednesday, August 9th, while Meghan was at home in Montecito, California with their two children, Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2.
While he was at the summit, Prince Harry even met members of the Stellenbosch University Choir backstage, and confessed to being a "big fan" – a moment which was shared on the choir’s official Twitter account. Aww!
Prince Harry also attended his fundraising Sentebale Polo Cup match at the Singapore Polo Club in Singapore on the Saturday, alongside Argentinian polo star Ignacio 'Nacho' Figueras, which is in aid of providing psychosocial support to young people living with HIV.
Speaking about the event the month before, Harry said: "The annual Polo Cup is essential to Sentebale’s vital work ensuring children and young people are healthy, resilient, and able to thrive. The funds raised this year will support our clubs and camps program, which provides intensive psychosocial support to young people living with HIV." He added: "In a time where being HIV positive is no longer a death sentence, we are empowering young people to know their status, stay healthy, and eliminate the stigma so that they can break the cycle."
