'Are you putting money before family?': Harry and Meghan grilled at NY event ahead of docuseries premiere
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Just hours before the premiere of their bombshell docuseries, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were bluntly questioned if they were "putting money before family." As the former royals arrived to accept a racial justice award at the Hilton in midtown late on Tuesday, December 6, they were barraged with inquiries about the Netflix special, which will begin streaming on Thursday, December 8.
The 38-year-old son of King Charles III was asked by a reporter as he posed on the red carpet with his wife Meghan, “Do you have a message for your family, Harry?” “Are you harming your family, Harry?” another reporter inquired. After taking a few pictures, as Harry and Meghan walked off to begin the ceremony, the questions grew even harsher. “Harry, are you putting money before family — are you putting money before family?” one journalist asked loudly. Harry walked away unbothered, saying, "So many questions," but providing no answers.

The prince's 41-year-old wife followed him while holding his hand and smiling. The California-based pair are on a high-profile NY visit in advance of the docuseries, which is anticipated to trigger a wave of unpleasant charges about press tampering and bullying in the monarchy. When the pair later approached the stage at the illustrious Ripple of Hope Gala, they attempted to laugh off their most recent high-profile appearance as they spoke with Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of Bobby Kennedy.
According to Daily Mail, Harry and Meghan were chosen to receive the Ripple of Hope Award this year. The Robert F Kennedy Human Rights organization honored the couple for speaking out against racism in the British Royal Family and their charity endeavors through the Archwell Foundation.
Harry told Kerry of his appearance at the New York event, “To be honest with you, Kerry, I actually thought we were just going on a date night so I found it quite weird that we’re sharing the room with 1,500 people. We don’t get out much because our kids are so small and young — so this is completely unexpected.” Later, he turned towards the audience and said while smiling, “It’s nice to share date night with all of you — thank you for coming.”
"Thank you for bringing me on this very special date night," Meghan remarked. Netflix recently dropped a second trailer for the docuseries 'Harry & Meghan'. Episodes 1-3 of Volume I of the series will be available on Netflix on December 8, and episodes 4-6 of Volume II will be released on December 15.
