Royal Drama Unfolds: Meghan Markle's 'Clinginess' Sparks Fan Backlash
ROYAL RUMBLE: Meghan Markle's PDA Sparks Fury from Royal Fans
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, has been branded "needy and clingy" by royal fans after her affectionate display with Prince Harry at a charity concert in Santa Barbara on Saturday left some feeling uncomfortable. But what really went down at the star-studded event? TheScholarlyNote.com digs deeper to uncover the juicy details.
Meghan Markle, dressed to impress in a stunning midnight blue Caroline Herrera collared halterneck dress worth a staggering £631 for the clutch bag alone, surprised crowds alongside her husband Prince Harry at Kevin Costner's charity concert. But it was their PDA that really got everyone talking.
Photographs from the One805LIVE! festival showed Meghan clinging to her husband's jacket as he took to the stage to present the Heart of Community Award. And we're not just talking about a gentle hold – she had both arms wrapped around him, with Harry still holding onto the microphone. The display left some royal fans feeling queasy, labeling Meghan's behavior as "too much" and "clingy."
One person wrote on X: "What is wrong with his woman? She is so needy and clingy." Another joked: "She wants to be sure she isn't cut out of the picture...," while a third commented: "Always grabbing at him." But others came to Meghan's defense, arguing that their intimacy was nothing but natural and lovely.
"Isn't he like her husband? What do you mean needy?" one person wrote. Another added: "There isn't anything wrong with Meghan. Their love for each other is clear to see. Nothing needy and clingy about that." It seems not everyone saw it as a big deal, with many defending the power couple's affectionate display.
But what really sparked the outrage was the fact that Meghan seemed to be holding onto Harry like a lifeline. Was she worried he'd abandon her? Or was it just her usual need for reassurance? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – their PDA got everyone talking!
And they weren't the only ones who caused a stir at the event. The concert itself raised eyebrows among royal fans, with some questioning why the Sussexes chose to attend. After all, Prince Harry had just reunited with his father King Charles in London just weeks prior.
The two princes' meeting marked their first face-to-face encounter in 18 months and sparked rumors of a potential reconciliation between the warring family members. The last time they appeared together was at the "Our Planet" global premiere in April 2019, where Harry stepped down from royal duties and began his journey towards independence.
But Meghan's latest Instagram post suggests she's more than just happy to see her beau back in town – she's celebrating with a glass of wine! The Duchess of Sussex took to social media to tout her $30 rosé on As Ever, commemorating Prince Harry's return to Montecito just in time for his 41st birthday. We're guessing this is more than just a coincidence...
In the post, Meghan poured two glasses of her latest rosé on an ornately adorned wooden board outside, surrounded by flowers. It was a sweet personal sentiment, accented by a glossy product snap that left many wondering – is she really celebrating or just trying to shift some stock?
But we're not done yet! The concert itself was an 'annual benefit concert' aimed at raising funds for essential equipment and mental wellness programs for Santa Barbara County's first responders. Music artists Trisha Yearwood, Good Charlotte, and The Fray took the stage alongside Oprah Winfrey, who has maintained a close relationship with Meghan and Harry over the years.
The TV personality even interviewed the couple in 2021, during which they made explosive allegations against the Royal Family. Will this latest charity outing be the start of something bigger? Only time will tell!
