Crowd Boos Harry for Disrespectful Gesture Towards Autistic Child at Canucks Game

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle showcased their dance moves during a recent outing, but it didn't go as planned.

The Sussexes attended the Vancouver Canucks vs. San Jose Sharks game in Vancouver, Canada on Monday night, where they were met with boos from the crowd.

Markle, who has been a fan of the Canucks for years, having stayed in Toronto to film the TV show Suits, joined her husband in standing up and dancing when the Canucks scored a goal.

However, their dance moves were met with criticism and embarrassment.

In a clip shared on Twitter, many noticed that Markle clapped and danced before quickly looking up, seemingly to check herself on the big screen.

This action didn't sit well with viewers, who deemed it cringeworthy.

One commenter sarcastically remarked, “The chick thinks that she can dance.

It's really embarrassing.

She's always looking for herself on the big screen.”

Another said, “My god, Meghan Markle just can't dance.

Didn't her dad pay for dance lessons?

I suppose they were as successful as her acting classes.”

The negative comments continued to pour in, with one user calling Markle awkward-looking and out of place.

They also mentioned that the women behind her seemed to share the same sentiment.

The backlash overshadowed what was supposed to be a night of celebration for autism acceptance, as Harry and Meghan had donated $2.2 million for children's autism programs.

The anthem singer that night had autism, but reports claimed that the Sussexes made the event about themselves and even laughed while the young woman with autism sang the anthem.

Accusations were also made that Harry stole the puck drop moment from an autistic child, further fueling the disappointment of the audience.

It seemed that the focus shifted away from autism awareness, with Markle's dancing becoming the main topic of discussion.

Some criticized the couple for not prioritizing the cause over their own actions.

NHL star Thomas Hertel shared his encounter with Prince Harry, revealing that he had to repeatedly tell him to drop the puck during the ceremonial puck drop.

Harry seemed to relish the attention and held onto the puck, grinning mischievously.

Despite this behavior, body language expert Judy James suggested that Harry's playful puck drop was a deliberate move to showcase his relaxed and jovial demeanor.

It was seen as an attempt to solidify his enduring royal status in the United States, reminiscent of his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, who often engaged in public appearances and rituals.

In conclusion, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle faced backlash for their dance moves and actions during the Canucks game.

While they intended to support autism awareness through a generous donation, their behavior overshadowed the cause.

The incident highlighted the challenges of balancing personal enjoyment with philanthropic endeavors, and it remains to be seen how the Sussexes will handle such situations in the future.
