Meghan Markle received a cold reception in UK

In September 2022, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Prince William, and Kate Middleton participated in a public walkabout outside Windsor Castle to honor Queen Elizabeth, who had recently passed away. While most of the crowd welcomed Meghan warmly, one woman notably ignored her by refusing to shake her hand. This moment has sparked considerable media attention and discussions about Meghan's reception in the UK. The royal family members walked among the public, greeting mourners and accepting flowers. Meghan appeared to engage positively with the crowd, crouching to receive gifts from children. However, the woman dressed in dark blue was seen lowering her head to avoid making eye contact with Meghan, suggesting a clear snub. Other individuals in the crowd also seemed to ignore her in various ways. Social media reactions to the incident were mixed. Some criticized the woman for what they perceived as racism in her behavior, whereas others believed it highlighted general resentment toward Meghan and Harry in the UK. Meghan, for her part, remained composed and continued engaging with the crowd after the incident. The public event marked the first time Harry and William were seen together since unveiling a statue of their late mother, Princess Diana, in 2021. Reports indicate that the tensions between Harry and the royal family have affected the Queen's health in her final months. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan's popularity has declined in Britain. Although Meghan has her supporters, she has not returned to the UK since the Queen's funeral and has opted out of significant royal events, like King Charles's coronation. Harry emphasized that Meghan would not return until his security concerns are resolved.
