During the event, Meghan Markle had an embarrassing moment when she mistakenly grabbed the microphone from the host. Tom Bower found the situation amusing and suggested that Meghan may have thought her ticket gave her speaking rights. Despite the awkward incident, Meghan presented Kevin Costner with an honorary award and interacted with other attendees.
There was speculation that Kevin Costner may have referred to Meghan and Harry as "root friends" who inquired about his property's worth. This speculation arose from Megan's earlier social media post about Kevin's property value. Videos from the event showed the awkwardness of the situation as Harry expected the MC to hand the microphone to Meghan, but the MC declined. Megan's hands trembled as she almost dropped the award.
In the end, Megan's attempts to shine at the event seemed to have backfired. Additionally, Meghan and Harry faced criticism for imposing a gag order and restrictions on children at a school event. The release form banned the distribution of stories or pictures for monetary gain and included a gag order. The move was criticized as an appalling way to treat school kids and teachers.
It appears that Meghan and Harry's actions and decisions are drawing significant attention and commentary in various contexts.
