Following a brief appearance at the “Her Best Life” wellness retreat in Coogee Beach, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have discreetly departed Sydney. While official reports described the couple as appearing “relaxed and in sync” while attending a rugby match later that evening, observers noted a moment of apparent tension between the two. Despite what looked like a heated exchange or a disagreement, Meghan was seen maintaining a firm, tight grip on Harry’s hand as they made their exit, keeping up their signature public display of unity even amidst the rumored friction.

 She’s universally adored for her grace and elegance, but it seems the Princess of Wales is prone to the odd hand injury.

While it’s unclear how she injured herself, Kate has previously cited an accident while playing with her children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, who turns eight today, as to why she wore a plaster.

It’s far from the first time the royal has been seen sporting one. Kate’s otherwise impeccable image is often marred by the unsightly skin-coloured tape wrapped around one of her fingers or thumbs.

During a visit to the Royal Surrey County Hospital’s Maternity Unit on October 5, 2022, the princess was pictured with a plaster on her thumb. She was seen with a similar look in Bradford in 2020.
