In the photo, the Sussexes are seated between Carson Daly and United States Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, within a circle that included a group of parents actively participating in emotional panel discussions that day. However, in a video shared on social media, there appears to be an instance of open flirting and physical contact between Meghan and the US Surgeon General, occurring right before her husband's eyes.
Observers have noted that her laughter seems somewhat contrived and excessive, leading to feelings of cringe, impropriety, and unprofessionalism. Particularly concerning is the context, as she's seen giggling, laughing, and making jokes in a room filled with grieving parents who have lost their children.
Comparisons have been drawn between Meghan's social conduct and the etiquette displayed by 10-year-old Prince George of Wales, who appears more composed, maintaining proper decorum during discussions with dignitaries. Some critics suggest that Meghan's actions reflect an attempt to mimic Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, who is known for her genuine interactions, lack of excessive physical contact, and authentic laughter and smiles.
Prince Harry, on the other hand, appears visibly uncomfortable and unhappy during various clips from the event. His body language and demeanor convey a sense of misery and discomfort. He often stands with his hands in his pockets and sports a somewhat puffy countenance. This has sparked observations that he may be questioning why he is engaging with a civilian rather than a military figure.
In the past, Meghan has faced allegations of being overly flirtatious. Her former high school friend and reality TV star, Nema Vand, suggested that she was a major flirt during their younger years. Nema recounted a moment from their past, sharing how Meghan sat on his lap at a party and engaged in a close, somewhat flirtatious exchange. He fondly remembered her as the "homecoming queen" of their school, describing her as sweet and kind, and someone who garnered the admiration of many.
Additionally, there have been claims from sources like British socialite and Royal author Lady Colin Campbell, who asserted that Meghan exhibited flirtatious behavior toward Howie Mandel, the married host of "Deal or No Deal" during her tenure as a briefcase model on the show. Meghan's conduct led to concerns from Mandel's wife, ultimately resulting in her departure from the show, with allegations that she was using it as a stepping stone in her career.
