Recently, an old video clip resurfaced and gained viral attention on TikTok. This clip shows Meghan Markle appearing to be ignored during the Invictus Games event. In the video, Meghan is seen standing and seemingly talking to herself, gesticulating enthusiastically, while no one around her appears to be engaged in conversation with her.
It's suggested in the clip that she comes across as rude and that people, including veterans, did not seem interested in her presence. The lack of reaction from those around her implies that they did not want her around.
In the video, Meghan is depicted as being somewhere in England, known as a duchess, but dressed in casual attire with jeans and a jacket. Her hairstyle appears somewhat unkempt, and her overall appearance contrasts with the traditional image of a royal. The commentary in the clip suggests that people expect a royal figure to be more mysterious and unapproachable rather than relatable.
The video also highlights Meghan asking someone to take her picture and then, just before the photo is taken, she would look away from the camera and burst into an exaggerated open-mouthed laugh, as if reacting to a joke, or turn to someone nearby and start chatting. This suggests that some of her candid-looking photos were actually carefully staged.
While there's no issue with Meghan accompanying Harry to the Invictus Games, the clip portrays her as taking the spotlight away from the event, which is meant to showcase and honor veterans. The commentary expresses disappointment in this aspect and criticizes the organizers for allowing it to happen.
Additionally, it's noted that a similar attitude was observed from Harry and Meghan at the games the previous year, where their focus on each other appeared to overshadow their engagement with veterans and the event itself. Meghan's extravagant wardrobe choices during the event also drew attention, with some highlighting the stark contrast between her expensive outfits and the modest earnings of military families.
In sum, the clip and commentary highlight concerns that Meghan's presence at the Invictus Games might shift the focus away from the event's primary purpose, which is to honor and support veterans.
