Earlier in the day were seen walking lovingly hand-in-hand as they hit the slopes in Whistler, Canada. It was a defiant display for the couple, following the backlash they received over using their royal titles on their new website, Sussex.com.
The couple were accused of "exploiting he royal family." Harry and Meghan left the Royal Family to seek “financial freedom” and quickly set about signing commercial deals with streaming giants Netflix and Spotify for an estimated £100million.

Royal historian Hugo Vickers said: “It goes against everything the Sussexes promised they would not do. They are trading on their royal titles and associations in every way you look at it. From the royal coat of arms used, to their Sussex titles to the titles of their children. It doesn’t matter what parameters you judge it on, the man on the street would identify those behind the website as part of the royal family. It is exploitative in the extreme.”
Prince Harry let his hair down for the first time weeks after what has been a tough time in his family. Harry jetted in from California for a 30 minute reunion with his father, putting aside their bitter estrangement to be by his side. Robert Jobson revealed to the Daily Mail: "Charles was widely reported to have been touched by the gesture. Perhaps he was."
Back in the States, shattered Prince Harry appeared to have a 'haunted' look in his eyes in a new picture, according to a body language expert.
