Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in the spotlight for a number of reasons right now, including Prince Harry briefly returning to the U.K. for an appeal hearing regarding his ongoing battle for private security, and Meghan’s highly-controversial solo projects.
The pair also garnered attention after Prince Harry shockingly stepped back from his Sentebale charity, which he co-founded with his friend Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006, last month. This then led to him being accused of “toxic” behavior by its chairwoman, Dr. Sophie Chandauka, who accused him of “bullying and harassment at scale.” And Meghan isn’t off the hook either…

The Internet Can’t Stop Talking About Meghan Markle’s ‘Awkward’ Interaction With Sentebale Chairwoman Dr. Sophie Chandauka
Following Prince Harry’s shock exit, the former Suits actress has found herself on the receiving end of negative comments after an interaction between herself and Chandauka from last year resurfaced online.
The interaction took place at last year’s Royal Salute Polo Challenge at the Grand Champions Polo Club in Wellington, Florida, after Prince Harry’s team won and was presented with the trophy. The As Ever founder seemingly wanted to be involved in the photo opportunity that came alongside being presented with the trophy, which is when the awkwardness ensued…
As can be seen in now viral videos, including the one above, the Duchess of Sussex seemingly forces Chandauka to move positions during the photo op so she wouldn’t be standing next to Prince Harry. This made social media very angry at the time, with people calling her “rude,” “cringe,” “insecure,” and “bossy” among other things.
“The insecurity and rudeness of Meghan is on full display,” another Instagram user commented at the time. “She really is a nasty piece of work,” wrote another, as someone else said: “Wow, such a self-obsessed woman.” And the negative comments have returned now that the video has resurfaced and people are talking about it again.

Page Six also shared an Instagram post featuring pictures of the resurfaced interaction on March 31st, with the caption: "Meghan Markle's awkward interaction with Sentebale chair Dr. Sophie Chandauka has resurfaced after the charity executive accused co-founder Prince Harry of 'toxic' behavior. Watch the clip at the link in our bio."
"Always the problem," slammed one person on the Instagram post. "Megs shouldn't have even been there," thought a second, as a third called her a "grifter." "Bullying grifters," concurred a fourth IG user, followed by three crying laughing emojis.
"Now for the world to see," they added, as a fifth said: "I believe every word of what Dr. Sophie has said." "I believe Dr Sophie, and after watching the video you can see how they mistreat her like you move out so rude," said another.
"Why is she holding [the] trophy, which pony did she ride?" quipped another, as someone else said: "Meghan always needs the spotlight." "Harry's wife is toxic," criticized another person.
