Meghan Markle sees awkward encounter on stage as a ‘PR opportunity’

An awkward encounter between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s polo team makes it obvious she was “very clearly” not meant to be up on stage with them, says royal commentator Kara Kennedy.

“This isn’t a PR opportunity of any kind but she obviously sees it as one,” Ms Kennedy told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

There is something very wrong with this woman. She really is a joke. She has tried to shove Harry out of the spotlight the entire time she's been with him. I really think the woman is mentally off.

Out of every attempt Meg's tried to upstage anyone and Harry, this is no doubt the worst display of, look at me! Look at me!!

[arlenejoan]

It was absolutely horrible as she was trying to grab the moment when it belonged to someone else. I was disgusted.

"Why is she on stage?"

A question people have been asking for years now.

[normacunningham]

She definitely thinks she should be the center of attention. Even when it has NOTHING to do with her.

[suzannemclean]

She even, pushed her way into Invictus making a speech. Unbelievable!

[cberry]

That video is absolutely amazing. I’m so happy it’s being shown worldwide. It truly shows what she is all about.

People kept saying Meghan was smart. she wasn't, can't read the room, can't dress herself properly. What is up with wearing widow's reeds at a sunny sporting event?

[julietdrozdz]

This happened some time back. Disturbing. I like the guy who wouldn't give her the board.

[wendylinton]

Shows just what an absolute HORROR that woman is .step back megnut.

This is whats wrong with Megan....pushes herself up front for a Polo award she has nothing to do with. This is exactly what she needed to happen to her. It was the guys award not hers. She is ill bred, rude and they should have pushed her out of there. Shoving her to the back was brilliant 😅

[twinks.]

She never ceases to make me spit my brew out laughing..silly mare ..😅

[ToosieJoie]

This is the most embarrassing and entitled moment ever. She is too much.

[usamedsales]

Markle fails at everything she does. It is always so embarrassing it is for her.

[floriannaturner]

That is so embarrassing to watch. The players look like they're thinking 'get the hell out of the way'.

[Tam]

What I don't get is how clearly awkward it is that she stands right in the middle of the presentation making it difficult for Harry & friends to lift the trophy. She could have stood to the side. That seems more sensible.

[Samantha-ewyn]

I have second hand embarrassment just from watching this. How is she not embarrassed? It's just shocking

[frenchappletarte]

This clearly shows a lack of boundaries. They are almost pushing her out of their way and she still doesn't get it. It's kind of sad really

[d.s.archer]

Markle’s appearance at the polo event was comparable to an episode of “Keeping Up Appearances.” Much like Hyacinth Bucket (Patricia Routledge), Markle appeared ridiculously overdressed, attempted to insert herself to be the center of attention, and it back-fired on her. Life imitates art!

It really was one of the most awkward moments when a narcissist isn’t aware of how others see her. Cringgeee
