Harry and Meghan faced a flurry of questions as they arrived at an awards ceremony in New York - hours before their new documentary is due to drop on Netflix.
Sky News correspondent James Matthews asked the couple whether they were putting money before family as they graced the red carpet - but got no response.
"So many questions," Harry was heard saying as they were escorted inside the gala hosted by the Robert F Kennedy Human Rights organisation.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were honoured with a Ripple of Hope Award in recognition of their work on racial justice and mental health.
One clip of Harry was provided with organisers that featured Harry joking, in a stage Q&A, about how he thought Meghan was taking him on a "date night."
Whilst no-one might have expected them to go full metal jacket on the Royals in this forum, it's conceivable that racism as an issue might have been discussed - and aired publicly - on the grounds of relevance and importance.
But there's currency in what Harry and Meghan have to say on the subject and that's being earned elsewhere. This media-savvy couple have an investment to protect.
It will please them that an internationally-respected organisation like the RFK Human Rights organisation, populated by opinion formers, has rewarded their efforts to change the narrative on racism. In doing so, it validates their victim story and can only cement the notion that problems exist within the Royal family - the issue having been raised by Meghan in a TV interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Here in the United States, the media generally buys into the fairytale of the Royal family and coverage has duly been dewy-eyed and sympathetic. That changes with hard news and the reporting around Harry and Meghan is hard-faced and analytical.
The Royal family, as an institution, is constrained in the extent to which it can engage in rebuttal. Unlike Harry and Meghan who have the freedom to swing the wrecking ball.
Just how far… we're about to find out.
