Duchess Steps In During Military Event Amid Rumours of Royal Snub
Meghan Markle subtly stepped in to guide Prince Harry during a public appearance last November, according to a body language expert. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were attending the launch of the West Coast Warrior Fitness Programme at the U.S. Navy SEALs facility in San Diego when the incident occurred.
While Meghan appeared fully engaged in the ceremony, Harry seemed momentarily distracted. In a quiet but noticeable gesture, Meghan gently pulled him forward to ensure he didn’t miss the ribbon-cutting moment led by Foundation CEO Robin King. Following the ceremony, the couple greeted attendees, toured the facility, and interacted with veterans.
Despite Harry’s strong ties to military events, having served two tours in Afghanistan, his distraction is believed to have stemmed from personal matters. Reports suggested Harry and Meghan had been excluded from King Charles’s 75th birthday celebrations just days earlier, held at Clarence House with close family and friends.
Initially, rumours circulated that the Sussexes had declined an invitation, but their spokesperson clarified to The Daily Mail that no invitation was extended, calling it a miscommunication. The couple’s absence added to ongoing speculation about their strained relationship with the royal family.
Meanwhile, King Charles marked his milestone birthday with royal duties, including the opening of two Coronation Hub food banks, reinforcing his dedication to public service. Meghan’s quick action at the event, paired with lingering family tensions, has reignited public interest in the Sussexes' dynamic and royal relations.
