Prince Harry and Meghan Markle surprised attendees at Kevin Costner’s charity event on Friday, held at his polo field in Santa Barbara.

The couple joined Hollywood stars Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres, rubbing shoulders with the elite.

The fundraiser, known for its exclusive “last chance tables,” came with a hefty price tag of $12,000.

Interestingly, sources revealed that Kevin Costner was taken aback by the presence of the Sussexes, as he had not extended an invitation to them.

It was Oprah Winfrey who brought them along, saving them from being asked to leave.

To add to the surprise, Meghan and Harry presented Costner with a trophy as a gift.

Rumors quickly circulated that the Duchess had awarded Costner for his charitable endeavors, but these claims remain unsubstantiated.

A video clip from the event captured an uncomfortable moment when Kevin Costner received the award from the Sussexes.

Meghan Markle’s smile faded as Costner failed to acknowledge her or Harry.

It seemed she had hoped for some recognition from the Hollywood star, but it never came.

Costner made no mention of them in his speech, indicating his apparent disinterest in their presence and the last-minute accommodations made for them.

Meghan’s behavior at the event raised eyebrows.

She eagerly grabbed the microphone as soon as she stepped on stage, displaying visible tension in her hands.

Her husband, Prince Harry, gestured to the gentleman holding the microphone, implying that Meghan should be given a chance to speak.

Meghan then pushed Harry forward to hand the award to Costner.

Her actions appeared erratic and desperate for attention.

The couple’s presence at the event seemed out of place, leaving a sour note for many attendees.

Despite Kevin Costner’s A-list status and Oscar-winning directorial career, the Sussexes’ involvement lacked any meaningful connection to the charity.

Meghan’s forced smile and awkwardness on stage only added to the discomfort.

In another clip, Kevin Costner appeared to snub Meghan as he engaged in conversation with Prince Harry.

It was evident that Costner was more interested in speaking with Harry, and when Meghan tried to join the conversation or seek attention, she was met with indifference.

This incident further highlights the growing perception that Meghan is the reason for their strained relationships and lack of acceptance.

During the event, Meghan’s behavior caught attention once again.

She seemed to divert her attention to a real estate broker, possibly asking for his card, when she realized Costner was not engaging with her.

Additionally, a woman standing behind her made several attempts to join the conversation, but Meghan appeared to deliberately block her out.

In summary, Kevin Costner’s peaceful annual event was overshadowed by the unexpected presence of the Montecito couple.

Their appearance seemed self-centered and disconnected from the purpose of the charity.

While Costner gracefully hosted the event for five years, Meghan and Harry managed to make it all about themselves, leaving many questioning their motives and actions.
