The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might pull the greatest moves, yet they will still remain the primary targets of criticism forever. Soon after they gave up on their UK Sovereigns and shifted for a life abroad, eagle-eyes royal experts have always kept a close tab on the couple. Be it a tragedy, or a victory, the couple has garnered waves of controversies over the years. Recently, the royal experts have bashed the couple over a resurfaced video that showed the couple stuck in an awkward situation. 

Prince Harry has always been a great pioneer of sports and games ever since his early years. Having patronized the Invictus Games, he also indulged in various sports like rugby during his time in the United Kingdom. Having maintained the same, he still takes part in activities as such. Last year, in the month of May, the duo attended a charity event that soon turned into a victorious Polo match.

Prince Harry and his teammates took to the helm to raise the winning trophy of the match. As the video portrays, the Duchess too was called up on stage to accompany her husband. However, while the boys celebrated the win, Markle was obstructed from the video on stage. Upon the Duke’s request, the Duchess tried to squeeze into the front. Prince Harry and his teammates tried their best to include her in the frontline. Yet, she could not spare herself from the indignation of the toe-curling experience.

The experts marked it as a “cringe-worthy” experience that embarrassed the Prince before the cameras. Royal commentator Kara Kennedy was a guest on Sky News Australia’s The Rita Panahi Show as she described the clip. She remarked how the “whole thing is a catastrophe and very embarrassing for the image-conscious couple.
