Meghan Markle, known as the Duchess of Sussex, found herself in a humiliating and infuriating situation recently.
The incident occurred at the premiere of the new Netflix film, Damsel, in New York City.
The former royal had hoped to attend the event alongside her husband, Prince Harry, and have a photo opportunity with the star of the movie, Millie Bobby Brown.
However, things took an unexpected turn when Meghan, uninvited, crashed the premiere and approached Brown with a forced smile and a hug.
Brown, a talented actress, producer, and writer famous for her role as Eleven in Stranger Things, was unimpressed by Meghan’s intrusion.
She bluntly told Meghan to leave immediately and to stay away from her.
The premiere of Damsel, held at the Paris Theatre on March 1, 2024, was a glamorous event where Brown shone in a stunning dragon-inspired dress by Louis Vuitton.
Directed by M. Night Shyamalan, the film offers a unique twist on the classic prince-meets-princess fairy tale.
Brown portrays a princess kidnapped by a dragon and forced to fight for survival, alongside co-stars Ray Winstone, Nick Robinson, Shura Agdeshloo, Angela Bassett, and Robin Wright.
Meghan, who relocated to the U.S. with Harry and their son, Archie, after stepping back from royal duties in 2020, had hoped to attend the premiere to promote their projects and causes.
The couple has ventured into producing content reflecting their values like mental health, women’s empowerment, and social justice.
They also established their foundation, Archwell, and welcomed their daughter, Lilibet, in June 2021.
Brown’s disapproval of Meghan stems from the latter’s decision to leave the royal family and relocate to the U.S.
This clash of opinions intensified due to Meghan’s involvement in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, where she supported Joe Biden.
Brown, a proud Briton and supporter of Boris Johnson, felt Meghan overstepped boundaries by interfering in U.K. and U.S. politics.
At the premiere, Brown spotted Meghan and decided to address the situation directly.
Witnesses recounted how Brown firmly instructed Meghan to leave, emphasizing that she was unwelcome.
The confrontation was captured on camera, quickly going viral on social media, sparking controversy and a wave of reactions.
While Brown received praise for her honesty and courage, Meghan faced criticism for her perceived desperation and entitlement.
The incident left Meghan vulnerable to mockery and ridicule, leading to a shift in public opinion.
Her actions risked not only her reputation but also her dignity, identity, and overall well-being.
