Prince Harry’s secret visit in New York hints at bold move

Prince Harry secretly may have done something particularly frowned upon by the royal family.

The Duke of Sussex, who had been in New York to attend multiple high-profile events to promote his charities, may have gotten some ink.

Harry was seen leaving a New York City tattoo parlour, East Side Ink, on Wednesday, in a video captured by a fan. Wearing dark jeans and a tan jacket, it’s hard to tell if King Charles’ youngest son actually got art on done or not.

According to People Magazine, Prince Harry was in the parlour for around an hour before heading out.

Harry’s visit seemed unusual as members of the royal family are not particularly known to get tattoos. However, the royal family’s stance on body art is a little murky as there are members who have sported tattoos in the past, but it has been considered a sign of rebellion and defiance.

However, it’s possible that the royals are becoming more accepting of body ink as the monarchy undergoes many new changes.

Meanwhile, Princess Eugenie is one of the only royals with visible tattoos and it is also a dainty one. During the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022, a small black circle was seen inked behind her left ear. Although it is unknown when she actually got the tattoo.
