Two days after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle<\/a> touched off a new round of controversy by allowing themselves and their children to be snuck into King Charles\u2019 country estate for a quick, furtive family reunion after years of bitter estrangement, his older brother, Prince William, and his wife, Kate Middleton, walked themselves and two of their children into Centre Court at Wimbledon for the men\u2019s finals match.<\/p>\n

Descending the steps to their seats in the Royal Box on Sunday, the heir to the British throne, the future queen and their two older children, Prince George, 12, and Princess Charlotte, 11, received \u201ca massive,\u201d standing ovation from the crowd as the cameras rolled, as People reported.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The people standing included A-list Hollywood stars and world leaders, all giving the Prince and Princess of Wales a very public show of respect and adulation. Among the celebrities were\u00a0 Nicole Kidman, Anna Wintour, Jennifer Lopez, Andrew Garfield, Tom Hiddleston, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Dustin Hoffman, Sarah Pidgeon, Rami Malek and Ben Stiller.<\/p>\n

The event gave William and Kate a chance to show their star power after a week in which royal reporting was dominated by his younger brother\u2019s fractious efforts to rebuild bridges with their\u00a0 father, according to Newsweek\u2019s Jack Royston.<\/a><\/p>\n

Such a grand, public show of support is probably something that Harry and Meghan would have wanted for themselves during their visit to the U.K. over the past week. Instead, the California-based Duke of Sussex did some solo public engagements for the 2027 Invictus Games and other charities, while his wife only appeared to venture out with him to have a stealthy audience with the king, with Buckingham Palace saying that no images would be released.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, public photo ops with other royalty and A-listers have become increasingly elusive for Harry and Meghan. The once beloved royal couple have instead become divisive figures on the world stage. They are adored by those who like that they spent the past several years criticizing the British royal family but disliked by others \u2014 including an increasing majority of the British public \u2014 who see them as betraying his family and as trying to cash in on their royal connections in an attempt to fund a multimillionaire lifestyle.<\/p>\n

To Sussex critics, Harry also provided evidence of the couple\u2019s reputation for being entitled, attention-seeking \u201cchaos agents\u201d by spending the weeks leading up to his highly anticipated return to the U.K. leaking threats and complaints about his travel plans because he was not getting the level of taxpayer-funded police security he wanted.<\/p>\n

Harry further enraged advocates of the free press and the U.K. judiciary by losing a massive court case against the Daily Mail. The judge ruled that he and six co-claimants, including Elton John, failed to prove their allegations that journalists engaged in illegal news-gathering practices.<\/p>\n

While Harry railed against the judge for a \u201cwhite wash\u201d of the case in a public statement, the accused journalists expressed a sense of vindication. One, Charlotte Griffiths, penned a\u00a0 devastating essay about how she came by her stories legally, via Harry and his friends, because she was once part of Harry\u2019s \u201cleaky\u201d social circle.<\/p>\n
