Megan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, encountered a less than warm welcome as she greeted the public outside Windsor Castle.
Not everyone seemed pleased to see her.
Megan walked along the crowds that lined the driveway, which also served as the venue for her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.
One woman, dressed in navy blue with her hair in a ponytail, deliberately avoided making eye contact with Megan.
Instead, she looked at the person beside her, smirking, shaking her head, and laughing.
Other individuals also appeared to avoid Megan, refraining from reaching out their hands for a greeting.
One woman, dressed in grey, even put on her sunglasses and brushed her hair to the side as Megan approached, clearly avoiding any eye contact.
A video capturing this moment was shared on social media, with one caption reading, “Lady in the blue having none of it, brilliant!
We’re all that lady in blue.”
Another comment stated, “A lot of people were having none of it and merely put on a polite smile.
I noticed one viewer commented, ‘They were actually filming William and Kate over their heads.
It was pretty bizarre to see.
Very few flowers as well, while the other side was showered with flowers.’
Well, this is awkward.
You can feel the tension and awkwardness from the crowd, even though some tried to be polite during this time,” added another person.
The atmosphere became more uncomfortable when Prince Harry reunited with his brother, Prince William, and their wives, Catherine and Megan, outside Windsor Castle.
The two pairs walked side by side as the public waved behind the barriers.
As they approached the floral tributes, eagle-eyed royal fans noticed a subtle gesture from Harry towards Megan.
Holding her hand, he signaled her to step back and let William and Kate go first.
This moment was captured and shared on TikTok, with one fan commenting, “Prince William’s reunion with brother Prince Harry.
See how Harry reminds Megan of royal protocol by subtly holding her hand back to let William and Kate come through to the flowers first.”
Another person added, “All I see is Megan wanting to go first.
Totally.
I thought it was just me.
She’s just used to pushing herself into the forefront, but she’s not the star now.”
Meanwhile, Lady Colin Campbell expressed her opinion on Prince Harry and Megan Markle’s appearance outside Windsor Castle.
She referred to them as a “dog and pony show.”
Lady C criticized both Prince Harry and Megan, stating, “I have to tell you, my information is that Prince William and the King wanted the focus to be on the Queen, the Queen’s legacy, and the Queen’s reign.
They invited Harry and Megan to smooth over all issues.
There are things behind the scenes which I’m not prepared to go into, but the reality is this was a carefully orchestrated thing thanks to the King and the Prince of Wales.
So that the focus would remain on the Queen, her departure, and to say goodbye to the Queen without the distraction of the dog and pony show that has been Megan and Harry.”
She continued, “What was supposed to have been a perfectly repetitive appearance of the four of them, Megan has yet again pulled a hat trick.
It was supposed to be the four of them together, not the dog and pony show of Megan and Harry.
The focus is on the Queen.
It’s only a matter of time before people realize the stunt that she’s pulled.
There’s genuine outrage behind the scenes that she would have done this.
This is about our beloved Queen.
This is about King Charles III, who’s going to be a wonderful monarch.
About the Prince of Wales.
It is outrageous that Megan has done what she’s done, but hopefully nobody else has noticed it but the few people in certain circles that have noticed.”
