Social media erupted with comments, with some users comparing their appearance to that of the Waleses, suggesting Meghan's attire was overly extravagant for the seating arrangement they received. One user humorously remarked on Meghan's entrance, describing it as "dragging a cheap ball gown from behind the shabby concession stand." Another pointed out the incongruity of their red carpet walk and then navigating the concessions, leaving a trail of butter behind. The surprising seating choice also led to speculation about Meghan convincing Harry that this was a preferable option to what the royal family could offer.
Reports surfaced suggesting that the couple wasn't seated with VIPs and even Lady C shared insights on the matter. According to her, Meghan and Harry were not seated in the first row, where more important people were placed, and Harry was not seated as a VIP at the aviation Legends dinner. Lady C noted a significant shift, highlighting how their status had been devalued, contrasting it with their front-row prominence just four years ago.
Allegedly, there were shouts and expressions of disapproval when they walked in, with some suggesting they should go home as they weren't wanted. While some Jamaicans may aspire to be a republic, the majority still hold a deep affection for the royal family, disapproving of Meghan's perceived pretentious behavior and her disapproval of being referred to as black by the British press. The incident underscored the evolving perception of Meghan and Harry's standing, once central figures, now seemingly relegated to a less prominent role in public events.
