Prince Harry’s Playful Puck Drop Raises Eyebrows at NHL Game

NHL fans were left unimpressed as Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, made a surprising appearance at an NHL ice hockey game.

Instead of focusing on his ceremonial duties, Prince Harry seemed more interested in grinning for the cameras, and the crowd made sure to let him know their feelings.

Last night, Prince Harry attended the game between the Vancouver Canucks and the San Jose Sharks at Rogers Arena in Canada.

Watching from a VIP box, he took part in a ceremonial face-off before the game, dropping the puck for Thomas Hertel from the Sharks and Quinn Hughes from the Canucks.

This act mirrored a similar puck drop done by the late Queen Elizabeth II during a Golden Jubilee tour of Canada back in 2002.

Thomas Hertel, an NHL star, shared his experience after the game, revealing that he had to repeatedly urge Prince Harry to drop the puck.

Hertel humorously recalled the moment, saying, “I actually had to tell him to drop the puck because he kept holding and smiling.

I said it's time to drop it.

I told him repeatedly.

For sure, I'll remember that one.”

It appeared that Prince Harry was more focused on enjoying the limelight and the cameras rather than fulfilling his ceremonial duty.

Rick Take, the head coach of the San Jose Sharks, also had an interaction with Prince Harry, mentioning that he gave him a fist bump, unsure if it was allowed.

Prince Harry's reaction indicated some hesitation about the gesture.

A body language expert analyzed the situation, suggesting that Prince Harry's playful puck drop and devilish grin signaled his return to a more carefree and less formal demeanor.

His appearance at the ice hockey game seemed to be a deliberate move to solidify his status in the United States, following in the footsteps of his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.

However, amidst Prince Harry's public appearances, there is a looming decision regarding his final role within the royal family.

King Charles, Prince William, and other family members are preparing themselves for the fallout from Omid Scobie's upcoming book, “Endgame,” set to be released on November 28th.

This book is expected to have a significant impact on Prince Harry's future standing within the royal family.

Insiders suggest that Prince William refused to take calls from his brother during the final hours of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

This revelation further deepens the growing rift between the brothers, potentially causing irreparable damage to their relationship.

The trust between them has been shattered, and the book is anticipated to widen the divide, possibly affecting any chance of future reconciliation, even with the king.

The royal family is bracing themselves for more negativity in the coming days as the book hits the shelves.
