Unearthed Clip Reveals Meghan Markle Insulting Moroccan Royals by Referring to Their Traditional Milk & Dates as 'Dirty

In a recently discovered video clip, Meghan Markle was seen seemingly insulting Moroccan Royals by making derogatory comments about their traditional milk and dates. This incident took place during the Sussexes' three-day visit to Morocco in 2019, which had been arranged at the government's request. The announcement of their trip came just over two weeks before it was scheduled, and the program details were confirmed only a few days before their arrival.

The visit got off to an inauspicious start when their commercial Royal Air Maroc flight was delayed for 90 minutes, causing them to land after sunset. This delayed landing meant that they had to greet dignitaries and inspect the Guard of Honor in the dark, setting the tone for an unusual royal visit.

Notably, this wasn't Meghan's first red carpet incident in Morocco. In the recent video clip, Meghan is seen refusing an offered date, which, while seemingly trivial, raised eyebrows due to her prior controversies during the Morocco trip. At the time, the Sussexes received a traditional Moroccan welcome, which included a platter of dates and milk. The Duke and Duchess were then escorted to their accommodations at the Royal Villa within King Muhammad's Palace.

In the video clip, Prince Harry accepts a date as part of the traditional greeting, following established protocol. However, Meghan behaves differently. She touches the dates and asks if the milk is organic, ultimately rejecting the offerings and referring to them as 'dirty.' This was perceived as a breach of protocol and a sign of disrespect towards their hosts, the Moroccan royal family.

Meghan's actions were seen as offensive not just because she refused the dates but also because she physically interacted with them before declining, which is considered impolite in Moroccan culture. Her behavior was surprising given that she was part of the royal family and should have been briefed on such customs. During royal tours, representing the UK and the queen is paramount, and diplomacy plays a crucial role in forging international relations, especially in light of Brexit.

Furthermore, Meghan's conduct during the trip highlighted her disregard for formalities and etiquette in Morocco's patriarchal and highly formal society, particularly concerning the royal family. Her actions, such as pushing in front of Prince Harry, were seen as inappropriate, as he was the member of the royal family, and her behavior was criticized for undermining the purpose of the royal tour – building trust and friendships between Britain and other nations.
