Meghan Markle’s “Death Stare” at Prince Harry During Invictus Games Sparks Social Media Frenzy
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, often dubbed Hollywood’s most relatable couple, are no strangers to public displays of affection—especially when cameras are nearby. But at the 2025 Invictus Games, something seemed off. What started as a loving gaze quickly turned into a chilling “death stare” that left the internet buzzing.
Day two of the Invictus Games appeared to be business as usual. Meghan arrived at a wheelchair basketball match between the USA and Nigeria, dressed in a chic light gray jacket from Doen. Meanwhile, Prince Harry was in his element, cheering on the athletes with his trademark enthusiasm.
However, beneath the surface, tensions seemed to simmer. At the opening ceremony, Meghan had been all smiles and affection, planting dramatic kisses on Harry, cuddling up to him, and resting her head on his shoulder. It was as if she was putting on a live performance of *“Look, we’re still totally in love!”* for the world to see.
But then, something shifted. A viral video posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Revealing captured the exact moment Meghan’s demeanor changed. Her eyes turned ice-cold, her jaw tightened, and she shot Harry a look that could only be described as pure rage. It was the kind of glare that seemed to say, *“How dare you steal my spotlight?”*
As soon as the video hit the internet, social media erupted. Users dissected every frame, calling out Meghan’s apparent mask slip.
One user bluntly observed, *“That glare… she looks like she just realized Harry dared to breathe without permission.”* Another added, *“That’s the look of someone who can’t stand not being the center of attention for even a second.”*
A particularly sharp comment questioned, *“So who was all that PDA for earlier? Because it clearly wasn’t for Harry.”*
What truly sent chills down people’s spines was Meghan’s instant self-correction. One second, she was staring daggers at Harry, looking like she was mentally drafting divorce papers. The next, she spotted the camera, and—*boom*—a dazzling, picture-perfect smile appeared out of nowhere.
*“Unreal. She switched up so fast,”* one person pointed out. *“Anyone who’s dealt with a narcissist knows exactly what that was.”*
This isn’t the first time Meghan’s public demeanor has raised eyebrows. From awkward hugs to the infamous “death grip” on Harry’s arm, she seems to have turned performing into a lifestyle.
One user noted, *“She clings to Harry like he’s a stage prop, but when the camera catches the wrong angle, her real expression says it all.”* Another quipped, *“How many times now? The awkward polo hug, the jaw lock on Netflix, and now this chilling glare. Meghan, you might need a better director.”*
The incident has left many wondering how many similar moments have occurred when cameras weren’t rolling. If this were an isolated incident, it might have been brushed off. But given the pattern, it’s hard to ignore the possibility that Meghan’s public persona might not always align with reality.
Perhaps the most pressing question is this: If the cameras weren’t there, would Harry ever see that dazzling smile? In Meghan’s world, the cameras may turn off, but the performance never ends.
As the Invictus Games continue, all eyes will be on the couple—not just for their support of the athletes, but for the dynamics playing out between them. Whether this moment was a fleeting slip or a sign of deeper tensions remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Meghan’s “death stare” has ensured that the spotlight stays firmly on her—for better or worse.
