Prince Harry’s recent visit to the F1 Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, without Meghan Markle highlights his passion for the sport and his longstanding friendship with F1 racer Lewis Hamilton.

Prince Harry, known for his love of cars and racing, made a solo pitstop at the F1 Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. Dressed in a black polo shirt and sporting sunglasses, the Duke of Sussex seemed right at home among the racing fans as he toured the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team’s garage.

This isn’t the first time Prince Harry has shown his enthusiasm for Formula One. He has been a longtime fan of the sport, and in the past, he has attended races such as the British Grand Prix in 1994 and the F1 Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi.

One of Prince Harry’s closest friends in the racing world is F1 driver Lewis Hamilton. The two have been friends for over a decade and have shared their passion for racing on various occasions. In 2020, they even teamed up to open the Silverstone racing museum, marking one of Prince Harry’s last official engagements before stepping back as a senior royal.

While Prince Harry enjoyed his time at the F1 Grand Prix, his wife Meghan Markle chose not to join him on this particular occasion. The couple recently made a trip to New York for the first time since a highly publicized incident in May, where they were reportedly involved in a “relentless pursuit” through the city.

In addition to his love for racing, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been actively involved in mental health advocacy. They recently participated in an in-person panel discussion in support of World Mental Health Day, where they discussed the impact of the internet and social media on youth mental health.

Overall, Prince Harry’s visit to the F1 Grand Prix in Austin showcases his passion for racing and his ongoing friendship with Lewis Hamilton. It also highlights his commitment to mental health advocacy, which he and Meghan Markle continue to prioritize in their public engagements.
