Meghan Markle And The Late Queen Elizabeth II Attend Their First Day Of Royal Engagements Together
A video of the America Riviera Orchard founder attending her first event with the late Queen back in 2018 is going viral on X, as it appears to show Markle disrespecting the then monarch.
The video was taken in June 2018 during a full day of royal engagements, which included opening the Mersey Gateway Bridge, and attending an event to honor the first anniversary of the devastating fire which claimed the lives of 72 residents at Grenfell Tower in West London.
Meghan Markle Accused Of 'Ignoring' Instructions
The video alleges that the former Suits actress was instructed to not walk ahead of Her Majesty; and as can be seen from the video, Meghan doesn't seem to listen to those instructions.
It also claims that Meghan took flowers that were meant to be for the Queen from one of the royal fans waiting in the crowd, which many people criticized her for.
The video was shared to X on December 2nd by the account @MeghansMole, and was captioned: "Watch as Meghan Markle ignores advisors telling her not to walk ahead of The Queen. Meghan refuses to listen & snatches flowers meant for Her Majesty."
Internet Reactions
Most people in the comment section appeared to feel the same way as the poster. "My dog has better manners," slammed one X user. "She was a loose cannon!" exclaimed a second, as a third thought: "Meghan did it on purpose to make The Queen's staff look incompetent."
"Of course she did! Defiant. Ignorant. Trash," replied a fourth, while a fifth concurred, adding: "She deliberately did this to the late Queen, in public. Then, she had the gall to demand a place by her bedside as she died." Another user also echoed this, writing: "#DuchessDifficult is always deliberately rude and obnoxious."
"She did it on purpose to undermine HLMTQ," speculated another user. "She literally has no class or any manners whatsoever," wrote another, while someone else said: "She knew exactly what she was doing – zero respect, zero manners." "She is just so ignorant," another X user said. "Megzy never follows directions! That's why she's a failure," added another, presumably in reference to her lifestyle brand and/or Spotify podcast.
