Kevin Costner, the Hollywood actor, found himself in an unexpected situation when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appeared at his charity event, 1805 Live, held at his polo field in Santa Barbara.
However, an insider revealed that Costner was not impressed by their presence.
Despite his attempts to avoid them, he was eventually cornered.
According to a comment on a Page Six article about the Sussexes, the duo were seen backstage engaging in conversation with Costner, as well as senior police and firefighting officials.
Later, Costner was overheard speaking to other guests, expressing his frustration, “I did everything I could.
I hid behind a pillar, went to the gents, tried to talk to other people, but I just couldn’t shake them off until they finally cornered me.”
Speculation arose that the talent agency WME (William Morris Endeavor) had a hand in orchestrating the meeting between Costner and the royal couple.
It is common practice for WME, which represents both Costner and Markle, to have their celebrity clients interact with each other.
The suspicion is fueled by the fact that Meghan has a history of crashing events she desires to attend, daring anyone to remove her.
It is possible that she crashed the fundraiser and convinced Harry to approach Costner, insisting that Meghan should make a speech and present prizes at the ceremony.
It is evident that Kevin Costner does not appreciate individuals like Meghan.
He disliked Amber Heard and probably sees similarities between her and Meghan.
As a member of the Hollywood elite, Costner does not seek their attention.
His body language during the encounter spoke volumes – he appeared annoyed and deliberately ignored them.
Costner’s reluctance to associate with Meghan may stem from rumors that she is supposed to star in his remake of the film “The Bodyguard.”
Additionally, he might be aware of her search for a wealthy new husband, considering he is currently single.
During the event, Meghan was once again seen without her dazzling engagement ring.
Her left ring finger remained bare, although she adorned herself with an eye-catching gold bracelet, small hoop earrings, and a wedding band.
This is not the first time Meghan has left her engagement ring behind.
She previously caused concern among her fans when she chose not to wear it during her appearance at the Invictus Games with Prince Harry.
Media reports suggested that the ring was being repaired, as one of the stones had become loose.
Harry personally designed the ring, which features a large center-cut diamond sourced from Botswana, a place with sentimental value to both him and Meghan.
While the Sussexes appeared happy and content, a body language expert observed that Harry seemed uncomfortable upon closer inspection.
In contrast, Meghan exuded grace and enthusiasm, fully embracing the event and the company present.
Judy James, the body language expert, shared her analysis, stating, “One of the Duke’s hands seems keen to stay stuffed in a pocket, and it’s Meghan who keeps touching him with her hand in small pats or pushes, using steering and encouraging gestures to guide him into the right place at the right time.”
She further noted that it appeared to be Meghan’s show, with her taking on a more central and dominant role, potentially exchanging roles and status with her husband after Harry’s recent star turn at the Invictus Games.
In conclusion, the unexpected encounter between Kevin Costner and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at Costner’s charity event created quite a buzz.
