Body language experts have been frothing at the mouth after a recent event at the Grand Champions Polo Club in Wellington, Florida, where Meghan Markle was involved in a subtle yet noticeable interaction with a female fan, friend, foe – who can say – during a photo session with husband Prince Harry.
According to Page Six, the incident occurred following Prince Harry’s polo team’s victory at the Royal Salute Polo Challenge. As the group assembled on stage to capture the celebratory moment, the Duchess of Sussex, dressed in a cream-coloured outfit similar to that of an unidentified woman, subtly moved to stand closer to Prince Harry. This adjustment occurred as the other woman attempted to position herself beside the Duke. In a video capturing the moment, Markle is heard suggesting to the woman, “Do you want to come over here?” subsequently directing her to instead stand on her left side. The woman complied, manoeuvring around the championship trophy to find her place next to Markle.
The interaction sparked commentary among onlookers and social media users, with some suggesting that Markle appeared to be asserting control over who stood next to her husband. This interpretation was echoed by remarks captured in the video, with one viewer commenting on Markle’s alleged insecurities and another criticising her for what they perceived as a lack of graciousness.
These critiques align with previous speculations about the stability of Markle and Prince Harry’s relationship, despite denials from sources close to the couple about any significant marital strife. The couple, who married in 2018, have often been the subject of public scrutiny and conjecture regarding their personal and public lives.
This latest episode occurred shortly after a public display of affection where Markle kissed Prince Harry while presenting him with the trophy, highlighting a moment of triumph mixed with personal dynamics that continue to captivate public interest and commentary.
If you’re feeling like this scenario is a little familiar, you’re right. It has all the bearings of jacket gate back in 2017 when news host Amber Sherlock lost her shit at colleague Julie Snook for wearing an outfit that was too similar to hers. Unfortunately for her, it was all caught on camera.
Perhaps Markle was simply aware of the optics and wanted to beetter styling the photo shoot?
