Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently attended a Vancouver Canucks vs. San Jose Sharks game in Vancouver, Canada.
The couple, known as the Sussexes, showcased their dance moves during the event.
Markle, who has been a fan of the Canucks for years since her time filming the TV show “Suits” in Toronto, joined in the fun and displayed her grooves.
However, their performance received criticism from the crowd.
In a video clip shared on Twitter, many viewers noticed that Markle clapped and danced before looking up, seemingly to check herself on the screen.
This action did not sit well with the audience, and some found it cringeworthy and embarrassing.
One commenter remarked, “The chick thinks that she can dance.
It’s really embarrassing.
She always looks for herself on the big screen.”
Another user called her “pathetic” and compared her behavior to that of a child.
The negative comments continued, with one critic questioning Markle’s dancing abilities and sarcastically mentioning her previous dance lessons.
Another user commented on her awkward appearance and how she seemed out of place, even noting that the women behind her shared the same sentiment.
The backlash was directed at both Markle and Prince Harry, overshadowing what was supposed to be a night of celebration for autism acceptance and a generous donation of $2.2 million for children’s autism programs.
Adding fuel to the fire, there were accusations that Prince Harry stole the spotlight from an autistic child during the puck drop moment.
The Sussexes’ presence at the game was seen by some as self-centered, as they reportedly laughed while a young woman with autism sang the anthem.
The incident raised questions about their awareness of autism and their commitment to philanthropy.
However, not all aspects of Prince Harry’s behavior were criticized.
NHL star Thomas Hertel shared his experience of meeting the prince, mentioning that he had to repeatedly remind him to drop the puck during the ceremonial faceoff.
Despite this, Prince Harry appeared to enjoy the attention and interacted with NHL players throughout the game.
His playful demeanor and devilish grin, along with his own version of the royal wave, indicated a more relaxed and jovial side of him.
According to body language expert Judy James, Prince Harry’s appearance at the ice hockey game was a deliberate move to solidify his enduring royal status in the United States.
He seemed eager to engage in public rituals and appearances, reminiscent of his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.
Coach Rick Tosha even mentioned giving Prince Harry a fist bump, further highlighting his comfort in the public setting.
While the Sussexes’ dance moves may have received criticism, their presence at the Canucks game sparked a discussion about their role as public figures and their commitment to philanthropy.
Despite the negative comments, Prince Harry’s interactions with the NHL players and his relaxed demeanor demonstrated his desire to connect with the public and maintain his royal status.
