Meghan found herself in a startling and embarrassing situation at the wedding ceremony of renowned Hollywood director Noah Baumbach and actress Greta Gerwig, as revealed in a viral video circulating online.
Baumbach, acclaimed for his directorial works like “Barbie,” “The Squid and The Whale,” allegedly made direct accusations against Meghan, claiming she wed Prince Harry solely for fame and financial gain, insinuating that she had disrupted his ties with his family and country.
The unsettling incident transpired during the reception of Baumbach and Gerwig’s wedding, held at a New York City hall on December 19, 2023.
The newlyweds, Baumbach and Gerwig, who have been a couple since 2011 and share two children, extended invitations to a select group of friends and industry peers from the film realm, including luminaries such as Ben Stiller, Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson, Laura Dern, and Wes Anderson.
Meghan and Harry, who have been residing in Los Angeles following their controversial departure from the royal family, were also in attendance, having forged a friendship with Baumbach and Gerwig through their mutual involvement in Netflix projects.
However, the celebratory atmosphere took a sharp turn when Baumbach, in his toast to his new wife, directed a pointed comment towards Meghan.
As per an eyewitness account relayed to tabloid magazine Star, Baumbach expressed gratitude to his spouse Greta, lauding her as his partner, collaborator, and muse, attributing his filmmaking endeavors and happiness to her influence.
He juxtaposed her virtues against unnamed individuals who exploit their partners for personal gain, leading them away from their origins and loved ones.
Disparaging remarks such as “gold digger,” “social climber,” and “royal pain in the ass” were allegedly aimed at Meghan.
The 40-year-old director of “Barbie” exchanged vows with his longtime companion Noah, aged 54, after over a decade of courtship.
Following their city hall wedding ceremony, Greta and Noah celebrated their union by attending a Billy Joel concert at Madison Square Garden, where they exuded joy and contentment, as per sources cited by Page Six.
Greta, adorned in a white suit skirt and jacket, emanated bridal radiance, while Noah looked dapper in his suit attire.
The couple commenced their romantic journey in 2011 after collaborating on the film “Greenberg,” culminating in an engagement in 2020.
Their shared parenthood includes two sons born in 2019 and 2023, alongside Noah’s son Roma, aged 13, from a previous marriage.
Despite Meghan’s purported attempt to address Baumbach’s allegations, Harry intervened, restraining her and advising her to let the matter rest.
Baumbach, undeterred, proceeded with his speech, commending Gerwig for her accomplishments as a writer and director, acknowledging her multiple Oscar nominations for films like “Lady Bird” and “Little Women.”
He expressed eagerness for their upcoming joint venture, a live-action adaptation of “Barbie” starring Margot Robbie.
This incident adds to the string of criticisms and controversies faced by Meghan and Harry post their royal exit, with public figures and media outlets questioning their motives, ethics, and utilization of their royal connections for personal gain.
Legal battles with the British press have further exacerbated the scrutiny surrounding their decisions and actions.
