For example, there were claims that she staged a high-profile car chase in New York City. Carson Daly, the host of "The Voice," has now come forward with an account of Megan orchestrating hugs during his tenure as the moderator at the Archewell Summit.
While hosting a discussion with Megan and Prince Harry at the recent Archewell Foundation Summit in New York City, Carson Daly admitted that he grappled with the intricacies of Royal protocol. Uncertain about whether to follow traditional Royal rules, such as curtsying or hugging, he found himself in an interesting position.
Megan took charge, directing Carson's actions and instructing him to embrace her with a warm hug. However, it's worth noting that she is not a part of the Royal family, so conventional Royal rules do not strictly apply to her. Megan herself has spoken about the challenges she faced in adhering to Royal protocol since joining the Royal family when she began dating Harry in 2017. In the documentary series "Harry and Megan," she mentioned, "Joining this family, I knew that there was a protocol for how things were done."
During the summit, observers noticed a swift change in Megan's demeanor when the camera was not focused on her. After appearing visibly upset while listening to heartfelt stories, she quickly regained her composure and flashed a bright grin. One person taken aback by this sudden transformation was Carson Daly.
Criticism arose regarding Megan's behavior, particularly her frequent use of words like "me," "myself," and "I" throughout her speech, which some attendees found off-putting. A video from the event shared on TikTok captured a moment when the Sussexes greeted guests. After Megan spoke to a woman, a man approached Harry for a handshake. Megan, however, spontaneously intervened and replaced the handshake with an embrace, leaving Harry in an awkward position.
Body language expert Judy James noted that public choreography can be challenging for Royals, requiring meticulous coordination. With their non-royal status, Harry and Megan appear more susceptible to minor choreographic missteps. In this instance, Megan's impromptu gesture caused Harry to adjust his actions, inadvertently turning a handshake into an awkward interaction.
Judy explained, "Megan actively hugged one woman, but the next guy goes for a handshake with Harry. Somehow, Megan steps forward spontaneously for a hug at around the same time, leaving Harry to shift his gesture into something else, rubbing his nose and looking slightly uneasy in the process."
