Meghan Markle’s Rude Act Towards Duchess Sophie Sparks Controversy at Commonwealth Day Service

The Sussexes' final official engagement before their move to North America was marked by a tense moment involving Meghan Markle and Duchess Sophie.

The annual Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey brought together the royal family, providing an opportunity for Harry and Meghan to reunite with their relatives since stepping back as working royals.

However, a recently resurfaced clip on Twitter has shed light on why Meghan was seemingly kept at a distance during the event.

In the clip, shared by someone claiming to be Prince Edward Staff, Meghan's behavior is put on full display.

The video captures Meghan swiftly jumping seats to walk ahead of Prince Harry, who had been making his way through the chairs first.

While it may seem like a minor incident, there are underlying psychological undertones that indicate Meghan's desire to control their seating arrangement and exit strategy throughout the second half of the service.

Despite Sophie and Edward standing closer to the aisle, Meghan and Harry were determined to walk out behind William and Kate, leading them to jump seats.

This decision disregarded protocol, as they should have followed Sophie and Edward.

Meghan's paranoia seemed to have gotten the best of her, fearing that Sophie might not allow them to walk ahead.

However, Sophie graciously stepped aside, respecting protocol and letting Meghan take the lead.

The contrast between Meghan and Sophie's behavior is evident in the clip.

While Sophie adheres to protocol and gracefully stands aside, Meghan practically knocks over a chair to secure the number two spot.

It is clear that Meghan's actions stem from her own insecurities and lack of respect for protocol.

This incident is not isolated, as another clip shows Meghan barging a member of the public out of the way during a royal duty she attended.

Such behavior is shocking, especially considering the excitement and anticipation of those who had been waiting for their chance to chat with royalty.

Meghan's impatience and disregard for others' experiences highlight a lack of empathy.

Body language expert Inbal Honigmann previously noted that Meghan and Sophie do not seem happy in each other's company during the Commonwealth Day service.

This sentiment was echoed by the notable interactions caught on camera, including Duchess Sophie's glances towards Meghan.

The tension between the two was palpable, further fueling speculation about their relationship.

During the service, the royals arrived in order of succession.

Prince Edward and Sophie were the first to arrive, followed by Meghan and Harry.

As they patiently waited on the second row, Prince William and Kate Middleton joined them on the front row, followed by Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles.

The Queen took her seat last.

While the other couples engaged in small talk and greetings, Meghan made no effort to interact with the Sussexes.

Instead, she appeared disinterested, looking in the opposite direction until Kate and William sat down.

Prince Edward leaned forward to speak to his nephew, showing a genuine effort to connect with Harry.

This interaction was followed by the Duchess of Edinburgh engaging in conversation with Kate for the first time during the event.

The incident involving Meghan and Duchess Sophie has sparked controversy and raised questions about Meghan's behavior within the royal family.

It serves as a reminder of the tensions and divisions that have emerged since Harry and Meghan announced their decision to step back as working royals.

As they embark on their new chapter in North America, it remains to be seen how their relationships with the rest of the royal family will evolve.
