Meghan Markle, known for her elegance, found herself in an embarrassing situation during a polo event with Prince Harry.
The incident occurred as Prince Harry celebrated a victory with his teammates at an event in California, where Meghan attempted to take a trophy from one of Harry’s fellow polo players, only to be thwarted.
As Harry and his teammate lifted a larger trophy, Meghan was partially obscured, trying to position herself for visibility.
Social media users quickly noticed the awkward encounter and shared their thoughts on the matter.
A TikTok video captured the moment, depicting Meghan seemingly forcing her way into the polo team to accept the trophy.
Viewers commented on the awkwardness of the situation, with some remarking that Meghan appeared unsure of where to stand and ended up being blocked by the trophy.
Despite the uncomfortable moment, Meghan maintained a smile as she stepped back and applauded Harry’s win, holding onto her sun hat as the players lifted the trophy above her head for a photo opportunity.
In another cringeworthy moment, Meghan was seen wiping bright red lipstick off Prince Harry after giving him a kiss to congratulate him.
The Duchess, sporting a large black sun hat, planted kisses on each player’s cheek before kissing Harry on the lips.
Following the kiss, Meghan adjusted her hat and removed a lipstick mark from Harry’s mouth, prompting a surprised reaction from him.
The couple then posed for a photo, with social media users questioning why other wives or partners were not included in the celebration.
During the event, Meghan stayed at the center of the stage while the polo team players lifted the trophy above her head for a photo.
This led to discomfort among viewers, who found the situation awkward to watch.
Harry, who recently joined the Los Padres polo team for the season, shared a kiss with Meghan at the charity match supporting various causes.
The couple’s children, Archie and Lilibet, were absent from the event, likely due to the scorching weather conditions.
Amidst the polo match, speculations arose about Harry’s upcoming memoir, which reportedly has a £15m advance and is expected to delve into his life’s experiences.
However, uncertainty looms over the publication date of the highly-anticipated book.
Meanwhile, Meghan faced personal concerns as news emerged of her father suffering a severe stroke shortly before his planned visit to Britain for the Queen’s Jubilee.
The royal couple continues to navigate public scrutiny and personal challenges while maintaining their public appearances and charitable endeavors.
