Prince Harry's skydive compared to King Charles's parachute jump

Prince Harry on Friday skydived in the Toronto area to raise money for two veterans' charities.

Shortly after the clips of the Duke of Sussex emerged online, his critics on social media posted videos of King Charles jumping from a plane in 1971, comparing the father-son duo.

A social media user shared the video of the then Prince of Wales with the caption mocking Harry. “Watch the then Prince Charles parachute jump on HIS OWN from an airplane in 1971 vs Prince Harry tandem skydive, safely secured to a professional like a toddler.... EMBARRASSING.”

However, a large number of people defended Prince Harry for performing the brave act for charity.

Prince Harry took part in a daring skydive outside Toronto, making good on a promise to a 102-year-old World War II veteran while raising awareness and support for military charities.
