Meghan Markle’s Awkward Appearance at Polo Awards Ceremony Sparks Debate

Experts in royal affairs are engaged in a heated discussion over 's unexpected presence on stage with during a recent polo awards ceremony.

Critics argue that her participation seemed unanticipated and somewhat uneasy.

Royal commentator and spectator writer Cara Kennedy joined Rita Panahi for Sky News Australia's The Rita Panahi Show to delve into Markle's awkward appearance on stage.

Panahi raised the question of why Markle was present when and his polo team were receiving their awards.

Based on the clip, Panahi noted that no one seemed to acknowledge Markle.

“What's going on here?

What's she doing on stage?”

Panahi asked.

The TV presenter also pointed out how Markle attempted to grab an item from one of Prince Harry's teammates, but the man refused to give it to her.

Panahi expressed her view that the entire situation was a catastrophe and very embarrassing for the image-conscious couple.

She turned to Kennedy for an explanation.

Kennedy responded by explaining that this incident occurred after Prince Harry had won a trophy at an event held at the Santa Barbara Polo Club.

She found it intriguing because she had previously discussed the media attention surrounding Harry's memoir, “Spare,” and emphasized the importance of Meghan maintaining a balanced presence.

Kennedy stated, “I think it's very telling because for a woman who usually tries to insert herself into the spotlight at any given time, which is clearly visible here, this had nothing to do with her.

It's obviously very awkward, and it's clear that she wasn't meant to be on stage.”

Kennedy observed that Prince Harry was surrounded by his teammates, and the situation was not intended as a public relations opportunity.

However, Markle may have perceived it differently.

Kennedy also highlighted the fact that while Markle attended the polo match, she did not accompany Prince Harry during his book promotion earlier this year.

Kennedy interpreted this as a strategic move on Markle's part, as she anticipated that Harry's memoir would have negative implications for her image.

In contrast, events like this polo match, where Harry was pursuing his own interests, presented an opportunity for Markle to assert herself.

Entertainment Tonight shared a clip from the event, emphasizing the public display of affection between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Markle kissed the other players on both cheeks and gave her husband a passionate smooch on the lips.

Later, she was spotted wiping lipstick off Prince Harry's face.

This behavior raised questions about Markle's role and motives.

Why was she kissing the players?

Why was she positioned prominently in the middle?

Is she a member of the team?

No.

Is she a manager or any other official role?

No.

Were there other wives or girlfriends present, engaging in similar displays of affection?

No.

The entire situation appeared bizarre and left many bewildered.

The young men she interacted with seemed perplexed by her presence.

Despite her attempts to push her way to the front, one man even obscured her face while she tried to take a box from him.

Even Prince Harry seemed taken aback by Markle's actions.

His expressions and body language conveyed a sense of confusion and annoyance.

In the Netflix documentary and other clips, it becomes evident that he often feels second-hand embarrassment due to her behavior around his teammates.

This consistent pattern of behavior may be a source of frustration for Harry.

It is worth noting that used to present prizes at polo events, and it appears that Meghan is attempting to emulate this tradition, despite not having won the cup.

The debate surrounding 's presence on stage during the polo awards ceremony continues to intensify.
