Once safely on the ground, Harry was spotted making a call to wife Meghan Markle, who remained at their new home in England. And how has his return to his home country been so far? “It’s been great,” he said Friday. “It’s been great to be back on British soil. The kids are happy in school and it gives me a chance to be able to really focus on the Invictus Games in Birmingham in July next year.”
When asked if the duchess was supportive of his decision to to take the jump, Harry replied, “I didn’t have to convince her, but she was relieved once we were down. It took quite a while to get up, so I think she was like, ‘Are they down yet? Are they down yet?’”
This skydive capped off a week of public engagements in North America. Days earlier, in New York, the Duke of Sussex had spoken at the annual Clinton Global Initiative conference, delivering a speech on the risks that artificial intelligence and social media pose to minors like his own children. “I come to this as a father, one who has shared countless conversations with other parents as they mourned the loss of their children to recklessly built technology,” he began, before a technical glitch with the teleprompter forced a 40-minute pause in his speech.
It was a predicament he defused with his typical humor. When he returned to the stage once the teleprompter was fixed, he said “AI got into my speech, so I was asked to come out and finish it,” per CNN. “Interesting to see what it was so concerned about in part two.”
