Royal Blunder: You Won't Believe How Richard Marx's Wife Confused Prince Harry with Prince William on Social Media!
- Replies 3
In the whirlwind world of social media, even royals aren't immune to the occasional mix-up. In a recent amusing incident, Daisy Fuentes, the wife of 1980s pop legend Richard Marx, made a royal faux pas when she mistakenly tagged Prince William in a post meant for his younger brother, Prince Harry.
The blunder occurred after a star-studded charity event in Santa Barbara, which celebrated the bravery of the local first responders. The event was graced by the presence of Prince Harry, who took to the stage to present an award to local hero pilot Loren Courtney. Harry, who has a military background himself, praised Courtney for his dedication, noting the pilot's 22 years of service and over 10,000 hours in the air, often at the expense of time with his family.
The concert featured a lineup of celebrities, including Rob Lowe, Jeff Bridges, Pink, and of course, Richard Marx. After Marx's performance, his wife Daisy Fuentes captured a moment between her husband and Prince Harry and shared it on Instagram. However, in a slip of the finger, she tagged the official account of Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, @princeandprincessofwales, instead of Prince Harry.
The mistake was quickly rectified as Fuentes reposted the photo, this time tagging a fan-run account dedicated to Prince Harry. It's worth noting that Harry has been absent from Instagram since the @SussexRoyal account became inactive following his and Meghan's decision to step back as senior working royals in 2020. The couple has since relocated to the US, where they live with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Adding to the awkwardness, Richard Marx himself had a near-miss in recognising the Duke of Sussex. In a video clip, backstage staff can be seen prompting Marx, who then greeted Prince Harry with a casual and friendly acknowledgment.
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, who attended the same charity event the previous year, was expected to join her husband but unfortunately had to stay home due to illness. 'We were all hoping Meghan would attend like she did last year, but the word is that she is sick and could not make it,' a source disclosed to The Mirror.
The event was not short on Hollywood glamour, with Cameron Diaz and Zoe Saldana also in attendance, both presenting awards and adding their own touch of humor to the proceedings. Diaz quipped about the uniqueness of a party in Kevin Costner's backyard, while Saldana playfully referenced Costner's iconic role in 'The Bodyguard.'
Prince Harry's schedule remained packed as he also spoke at the World Health Organisation dinner in New York, rubbing shoulders with notable figures such as Queen Mathilde of Belgium and actor Forest Whitaker. His commitments included meetings with conservation group African Parks, landmine charity The Halo Trust, and Travalyst, as well as a scheduled return to the UK for an event at the end of September.
This little social media snafu reminds us that even in the digital age, where connections are just a click away, mistakes can happen to anyone—even when dealing with royalty. It's a charming anecdote that adds a touch of relatability to the often distant and formal world of the monarchy.
