After Prince Harry's polo team secured a prestigious victory, both he and his teammates were invited on stage to accept the trophy and pose for celebratory pictures. However, amidst the excitement and jubilation, Meghan Markle found herself in an uncomfortable situation.
In a video captured by Sky News Australia, Meghan can be seen standing awkwardly in the midst of the proceedings while Harry and his teammates pose for pictures around her.
At one point, the teammates' arms block her from view as they hoist the silver trophy, seemingly overshadowing her presence. It appears as though Meghan has been caught in a situation she wasn't meant to be in, raising questions about her role in that moment.
Royal commentators, always eager to provide their candid opinions, were quick to criticize the Duchess of Sussex. One commentator, Cara Kennedy, accused Meghan of trying to worm her way into Harry's spotlight. Kennedy emphasized that the moment was not meant to involve Meghan, highlighting the awkwardness of her presence.
The commentator suggested that Meghan saw it as an opportunity to garner attention for herself, disregarding the purpose of the event.
Speculation arose regarding Meghan's motives, with suggestions that she prioritized being part of a positive PR opportunity over addressing the negative press the couple had been receiving.
Kennedy hinted that Meghan strategically avoided certain situations that could damage her image, such as the fallout from Prince Harry's memoir. However, in instances like the Polo Club event where Harry was attempting to shine independently, Meghan allegedly couldn't resist inserting herself into the spotlight.
It is undeniable that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have faced their fair share of criticism from the media. The couple's Spotify deal received a lukewarm reception, and Prince Harry attended his father's coronation without his wife or children. The strained relationship between the couple and the royal family is no secret, adding fuel to the fire of public scrutiny.
