In a dramatic turn of events, Meghan Markle has been accused of body-blocking a former friend during a royal outing in Edinburgh — a claim that’s reigniting debates about her transition into royal life.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s First Royal Trip Sparks Controversy
When Meghan Markle joined Prince Harry for one of their earliest joint appearances in Scotland, the public welcomed her warmly. However, behind the scenes, tensions reportedly flared. Author Tom Bower, in his explosive book *Revenge*, shared a shocking moment when Meghan Markle was allegedly involved in body-blocking her former friend and advisor during the royal outing.
A Surprising Snub Amid Public Cheers
According to Bower, Meghan Markle’s former business advisor, Gina Nelthorpe-Cowne, was humiliated during the royal outing. When she attempted to approach the Duchess, a palace aide reportedly body-blocked her in front of guests. This incident left onlookers confused, with Meghan Markle later accused of intentionally snubbing her longtime friend.
Gina’s Warning About Prince Harry Ignored
The claims come on the heels of Gina’s 2020 interview where she revealed doubts about Meghan’s ability to adapt to royal life. Over a glass of wine, Gina reportedly warned Meghan Markle about the intense scrutiny she would face during her life with Prince Harry. Meghan’s reaction? A sharp hand gesture and the words, “Save it.”
Was Meghan’s Friendship Always Conditional?
Some royal watchers believe the alleged body-blocking incident reflects a deeper pattern. Meghan Markle has now been accused multiple times of distancing herself from close allies once she entered royal circles. This latest claim, suggesting she allowed a friend to be humiliated during a high-profile royal outing, only adds fuel to the fire.
The Fallout Continues
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry left the Royal Family less than two years after their wedding. But incidents like the alleged body-blocking continue to surface, raising questions about how relationships changed during their royal journey. For Gina, the damage appears irreversible — and for Meghan Markle, the accused royal, scrutiny from former friends may be just beginning.
Public Image Versus Private Actions
Despite her warm public demeanor during that early royal outing, Meghan Markle is once again accused of behavior that contradicts the image of unity she projected. If the body-blocking claim is accurate, it suggests the Duchess was willing to cut ties with a loyal friend to maintain control over her narrative.
