In a recent Instagram post, Nacho, a member of the polo team, shared a photo of their triumphant win, further highlighting the strained relationship between Harry and Meghan.
This post has only served to confirm the rumors of a fractured bond between the couple and the team.
It is worth noting that Harry is no longer a part of the polo team and has been banned for the season.
This decision has left many wondering about his absence from the sport, as polo has always been his reliable excuse for avoiding conversations with his family.
Adding fuel to the fire, Nacho took a dig at Meghan’s previous cup-holding moment during last season’s event.
His caption read, “2022 with the Harkles versus 2023 without.
Sunshine Satch can’t get you anywhere if you have a Saint Meghan who thinks she’s the expert and center of everything.”
This not-so-subtle mockery further emphasizes the tension within the polo community.
Royal commentator Cara Kennedy shed light on the awkward encounter between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s polo team, stating that it was evident she was not meant to be on stage with them.
Kennedy expressed her opinion during an interview with Sky News host Rita Panayi, saying, “This isn’t a PR opportunity of any kind, but she obviously sees it as one.”
Kennedy went on to describe the cringe-worthy moments that unfolded during the event.
One particular moment caught on camera shows Meghan attempting to take a small trophy from one of Harry’s fellow polo players, only to be denied.
Another clip captures Meghan being obscured as a teammate and Harry lift a larger trophy over her head while she applauds and clutches her hat.
In an attempt to be visible, Meghan can be seen trying to edge into the shot, eventually ducking underneath the award.
A TikTok user even shared a clip of the moment, captioning it “Meghan forces her way into polo team to accept trophy.”
But the cringiness didn’t end there.
Meghan was also seen rubbing off bright red lipstick from Prince Harry’s mouth after giving him a kiss.
The video shows Meghan, wearing an enormous black sun hat, congratulating her husband’s team.
She proceeds to offer each player a continental-style kiss on each cheek before planting a smooch on Harry’s lips, as he leans in.
After the kiss, Meghan pulls down the brim of her hat and moves to Harry’s left as he turns away.
She then lingers and touches his arm in an attempt to regain his attention before reaching up to his face.
As she turns, she uses her thumb to wipe off a lipstick mark from his mouth.
Harry briefly appears taken aback before raising an eyebrow.
He then courteously puts his arms around his wife and guides her to the middle of the group for a photo.
