Meghan Markle found herself in an uncomfortable situation when she took to the stage at a star-studded charity event held at Kevin Costner’s £21m Oceanside estate in Santa Barbara.

Alongside her husband, Prince Harry, Meghan presented Costner with an award for his charity 1805, which supports first responders in the area.

During the event, a clip captured the moment Meghan reached out to take the host’s microphone, seemingly ready to address the audience.

However, the female speaker refused to hand over the mic, despite Meghan already having a firm grip on it.

In response, Meghan placed her hand on the woman’s arm before moving past her towards the opposite side of the stage.

Another clip from the event showed a man on stage gesturing to Prince Harry, encouraging him to take the microphone and say a few words.

Instead, Prince Harry waved his arm towards Meghan, allowing her to take the spotlight.

The man laughed and folded his arms, almost as if to say, “No way.”

Many interpreted this exchange as Harry publicly scolding the man for not giving Meghan the microphone.

Harry’s peculiar hand rubbing before the incident added to the confusion, suggesting tension between the parties involved.

Commentators did not hold back in their analysis of the situation, with one Twitter user expressing second-hand embarrassment.

They criticized Meghan for assuming she would have an opportunity to speak when there was no plan for her to do so.

Some speculated that Meghan was eager to share her excitement about bringing their children to future events, but others questioned whether the couple’s children would ever be allowed out of their compound, jokingly suggesting they would end up marrying each other due to their limited exposure to the outside world.

Meghan’s impromptu appearance on Kevin Costner’s stage seemed abrupt, indicating a desire for more attention and stage time at the event.

Backstage, Meghan and Harry engaged in conversations with Costner, as well as senior police and firefighting officials.

Interestingly, Costner was overheard expressing his difficulty in avoiding the couple throughout the event.

He recounted various attempts to evade them, including hiding behind a pillar, seeking refuge in the restroom, and engaging in conversations with others.

However, Meghan and Harry persisted in approaching him.

Notably, Costner did not mention or thank them during his speech and appeared displeased with the last-minute adjustments made to accommodate their presence.

Sources suggested that Costner’s cool attitude towards Meghan stemmed from her uninvited presence, which might explain her apparent confusion with the awards ceremony script when she joined her husband on stage.

Some observers interpreted the couple’s behavior as an attempt to capture selfies with high-profile individuals and create the illusion of having elite connections.

However, doubts arose regarding the authenticity of their alleged friendships due to the lack of documented relationships with these elites.

In a leaked video, Meghan can be seen attempting to gain Kevin Costner’s attention by touching him while he conversed with Harry.

Costner chose to ignore her efforts, potentially leaving Meghan feeling humiliated.

As a result, she redirected her attention to another man and flirted with him in front of her husband.

The incident at the charity event has sparked discussions and raised questions about Meghan Markle’s actions and intentions.

It remains to be seen how this incident will impact her public image and future engagements.
