Examples of HARRY in a Sentence

1. Meghan Markle:

   Our conversation was I was complaining about not liking Donald Trump, he said, ‘Give Donald Trump a chance.’ I sort of disagreed with that but I still like Harry. That was his politics, I had my politics.

2. Spun Gold:

   One of the problems from the whole Charles and Diana years is that when Diana became the star, it became a problem for the Prince of Wales, … Crowds would shout, ‘We want Diana!’ That didn’t play well. That was one of the warnings that came out of the film to Meghan. And what I’ve noticed is that [Markle and Harry] are very much a double act. They’re always together. And I think it will be interesting to see how that plays out over the years.

3. Richard Kemp:

   London CNN Prince Harry suggestion that London CNN Prince Harry killed 25 people will have re-incited those people who wish London CNN Prince Harry harm, let’s hope they do n’t succeed and I ’m sure he’s got pretty good security, but that’s one problem.

4. Amy Jeffress:

   We have been working with the UK authorities in an effort to resolve this matter, this was an accident, and a criminal prosecution with a potential penalty of fourteen years imprisonment is simply not a proportionate response. We have been in contact with the UK authorities about ways in which Anne Sacoolas could assist with preventing accidents like this from happening in the future, as well as Anne Sacoolas desire to honor Harry's memory. We will continue that dialogue in an effort to move forward from this terrible tragedy. But Anne Sacoolas will not return voluntarily to the United Kingdom to face a potential jail sentence for what was a terrible but unintentional accident.

5. Paul Burrell:

   I hope we don't lose Harry and Meghan (to California) because they are a tremendous asset to the royal family, and to Britain.
