This selfie was filmed by a fan known as @fastglassy, who is a supporter of the royal couple. The video was posted on TikTok, where it received over 34,000 likes and nearly 905,000 views. The caption read, "The Royals having the cutest conversation." @fastglassy also posted pictures and dance videos of Meghan and Harry from their private box.
Speculation arose that the person who captured the video of their dance might have been paid by the Sussexes. These moments appeared meticulously staged to give the impression of spontaneity, generating viral content showcasing the Sussexes' dance skills and their affection for each other.
Observant viewers soon identified the videographer as TikToker Matt. However, Matt's attempts to remain anonymous were not entirely successful. The leaked videos and photos suggested that Matt attended the Beyoncé concert courtesy of a complimentary ticket, likely provided by someone associated with Meghan's agency.
This incident sheds light on Meghan's ability to engage paid individuals in shaping her public image. It appears that Matt was compensated to capture these moments, including the iconic photo of Harry.
While watching the video, it becomes evident that Meghan and Harry were seemingly FaceTiming someone behind the camera, adjusting their positions to capture the right angles. Meghan's signature habit of looking directly into the camera and smirking was notably absent, suggesting an intentional effort to appear more natural.
Another source, Blind Item Today, disclosed that the entire scenario, from securing the executive boxes to the staged moments between Meghan and Harry, was orchestrated by Meghan and the talent agency WME. WME allegedly provided the box seats and arranged for amateur photographers to capture these moments in exchange for free tickets and a small fee. The entire charade appeared meticulously scripted, directed, and produced to enhance Meghan's image.
Daniela Elsa pointed out that the video showing Meghan dancing and Harry looking less than thrilled could indicate some tension within the couple. Their frequent appearance at public events, with strangers constantly filming them on their phones, has made it increasingly challenging for them to enjoy a sense of privacy.
TikToker Matt's inadvertent confirmation of being hired by Meghan to film her at the Beyoncé tour, all in exchange for a free ticket, sheds light on the carefully constructed public image of the Sussexes and the challenges they face in maintaining privacy at public events.
