Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, found herself in yet another awkward public moment during a recent charity polo event with her husband, Prince Harry. The event was meant to promote Harry’s charity polo match and his newly announced Netflix series on professional polo. However, Meghan’s attempt to stage-manage a group photo op with the team members took an unexpected turn.
In a video shared by a fan account, Meghan was seen inviting another woman on stage, identified as Sentebale chair Dr. Sophie Chandauka. However, Meghan asked Chandauka to move aside so she wouldn’t be standing next to Prince Harry. This led to a series of awkward maneuvers as Chandauka had to duck under the trophy to get to the spot Meghan wanted her to stand.
Critics on social media were quick to point out Meghan’s behavior, with some calling her “insecure” and “self-obsessed.” However, others defended her actions, suggesting that she was trying to position Chandauka in the middle of the group.
This incident adds to a list of previous awkward moments involving Meghan, including a viral clip where Prince Charles appeared to tell her and Harry to stand back at a royal event, and an instance where she tried to take the microphone at Kevin Costner’s charity event.
Despite these mishaps, Meghan remains focused on her media projects with Prince Harry under their Netflix deal. As they continue to navigate their roles outside the royal family, Meghan’s public appearances continue to draw attention and scrutiny.
