On September 26th, Prince Harry made a surprise visit to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, electing to partake in a Halloween-themed skit rather than a traditional interview. His spontaneous appearance brought laughter and lighthearted fun, a spirit seemingly at odds with how his wife Meghan Markle has chosen to spend her post-royal days.

While Harry transformed a mundane Monday into an enjoyable fright fest, navigating Fallon's haunted maze with glee, one can only imagine Meghan's clenched fists and stewing at home. Plagued by constant comparisons to her husband enjoying celebratory outings, reports suggest she had designs on the same Tonight Show spotlight for herself earlier in the month.

Scheduled as Fallon's sole guest on September 20th to promote her crumbling Spotify podcast, those plans were waylaid by Queen Elizabeth's death. One can only imagine Meghan's dismay to then learn her husband received top billing instead, chatting and cavorting freely where she was indefinitely postponed. With Harry delighting millions, the bitter taste of being sidelined must have been hard to swallow.
Ever fixated on victimhood narratives, sources indicate Meghan lobbied for a full solo episode to air personal grievances. But like rationing a single grain of rice as a meal, dedicating valuable airtime to her podcast's freefall wouldn't satisfy audiences. Her limited fanbase pales to the public's enduring affection for the charming prince now rediscovering his humor and spirit of fun.

While Harry brought levity and charm, Meghan seems stuck rehearsing melodrama. During the Queen's mourning period, her criticisms may not have landed well, sparing her deeper backlash. Yet now with Harry shining in cheery contrast, her scowl is difficult to ignore. One can picture Meghan steaming at the unfairness of it all as her husband wins over Fallon and viewers anew.
Far from the buttoned-up royal of days past, Harry's spontaneous Tonight Show stint channeled a carefree abandon unseen since departing formal duties for Tinseltown. Freed from stifling tradition, he embraced laughs and storytelling where his wife persists in projecting hardship. With Meghan refining her narrative of misfortune, Harry offered lightness of being truly unburdened.

And while Harry and Fallon enjoyed keeping things playful, boundary-pushing antics like chest-grabbing merit addressing. However unsurprising from one open about personal details unasked, respecting physical autonomy remains important regardless of fame or fortune.

So the diverging Tonights Show appearances underscore the vast chasm now on open display. Where one finds relief in mirth and making merry, the other appears tethered to perpetual grievance. Their chosen paths post-royalty differ starkly in tone - and one wonders how their fractured union can withstand such opposing directions as winter approaches.

In the end, that Halloween saw Harry playfully facing faux-frights while Meghan faces ongoing PR nightmares from afar. But as smiles and scares summed Harry's successful showcase, true drama was left for another day. For now, the score is simply Harry 1, Meghan 0 - though how long such divergences can continue undisrupted only time will tell.
