Britain’s Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear onstage at the 2021 Global Citizen Live concert at Central Park in New York, U.S., September 25, 2021.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were first in line to donate funds to the parade, the outlet reported.
Local residents now hope the parade will become an annual event of the festive season.

Neil Sean, royal expert for NBC, speaking on his YouTube channel, claimed Meghan is “apparently taken to indoors as we say over here in the UK because she’s so upset about the backlash she received after appearing on the show”.
He added: “Even Prince Harry thought this was a good idea to show her fun side.

“She could have said no to the pranks and just plugged The Bench and talk briefly about her life.
“But fear not, Meghan will be back in 2022 looking for another option to rebrand and reconnect.”
Meghan, with an earpiece nestled in her ear, took part in a filmed prank in which her actions were controlled by Ellen Degeneres.
She was egged on to perform tasks such as eating tortilla crisps like a chipmunk in front of an unsuspecting public around her.
The sit-down interview with Ellen DeGeneres, however, largely steered away from controversial topics, such as the split from the Royal Family.
