Meghan Markle Tells A Woman To Step Away From Prince Harry At Sentebale Polo Match

Meghan Markle was caught on camera seemingly telling a woman not to pose next to her husband, Prince Harry, during a photo-op after his polo victory.

A clip of Markle and two other women with Prince Harry during the prizegiving ceremony at the recent Sentebale Polo Cup made the rounds on social media. In the footage, Markle stands next to Prince Harry while another woman decides to stand on his other side. However, Markle seemingly tells the woman who wants to pose beside her husband to move beside her by pointing to the vacant space between her and the other woman.

Judi James, a leading communication and body language expert who has appeared regularly on BBC News, Sky News, GB News and CNN, weighed in on the incident and said that the former actress was taking on the role of a "director" during the incident.

"Meghan will know all about framing a good shot for the cameras, and so it might not be surprising if she had possibly felt compelled to do so here," James told the Mirror.

"She and Harry are producing a Netflix show, and her role as director might easily have led her to move this woman about like an extra on a film set. Or perhaps she was just being friendly and wanting to make the woman feel more comfortable next to her where she would be under Meghan's wing."

James also pointed out how Markle allegedly looked "concerned as the woman takes to the stage and steps beside Harry with her hands on the trophy." The expert pointed out the lack of "warm, fond, connecting smiles or acts" between Markle and the woman.

"Like any good director/star Meghan just seems to want to get on with the shot, beaming at Harry and posing beautifully and happily for the camera," James continued.

"This is Harry's victory scene, and he and Meghan have performed their romantic kiss perfectly. Meghan seems to urge the woman across to stand in the gap next to her, but when the woman does finally get the hint, she needs to do a very awkward duck and under-arm movement to get to where Meghan has decided she should be."

The clip received several responses on social media, with many cringing over the incident.

"They are both so awkward," one commented.

Another added, "Just like she was a child bossing the other children around at the birthday party. This woman has to control everything and everyone."

"She has such a need to control everybody all the time. It's uncomfortable to watch. She can never let people just be spontaneous, least of all herself," a third person said.

Prince Harry and Markle are working on two new Netflix projects. The royal couple had a film crew in tow at the event as one of their upcoming projects focuses on polo.
