Amidst their promotional duties for the upcoming 2025 Invictus Games, the couple's night out was meant to be a romantic escape. According to Meghan's PR agency, they appeared like any other couple celebrating Valentine's Day, smiling and showing affection. However, behind closed doors, a different narrative emerged. Insiders revealed tensions between Harry and Meghan, with Harry reportedly displeased with Meghan's appearance, likening it to that of the Joker.
Judith Wood, a critic, expressed skepticism about the authenticity of their public displays of affection, suggesting that Meghan and Harry's constant hand-holding portrays a sense of immaturity and codependence rather than true love. Despite Meghan's status as an influential figure, such behavior contradicts feminist ideals, according to Wood.
Meghan's choice of attire, including a red coat and black pants, drew attention, with some criticizing her for standing out unnecessarily. In a place like Whistler, where celebrity sightings are common but typically unobtrusive, Meghan's fashion choices and attempts to sneak in through the back door of the restaurant seemed out of place.
Overall, the Valentine's Day dinner turned into a spectacle of contrasting appearances and hidden tensions, raising questions about the authenticity of the couple's public image.
