Meghan Markle praised for taking a snap from the Windsor crowd in her stride

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has been praised for remaining calm despite apparent hostility from some members of the crowd as she greeted the public following the late Queen’s death.

She was joined by her husband Harry, Duke of Sussex and the Prince and Princess of Wales as they visited the Windsor Castle gates to view the floral tributes left by the crowd.

It was the first time the royal couple had been seen together in over two years.

As they passed the crowd, the princes and their wives addressed the crowd, shook hands and thanked well-wishers.

But the Duchess received a frosty reception from some people in the crowd, who looked away and did not extend a hand when she greeted them.

Footage shows one woman looking down as Meghan smiles at her, while another woman turns her head away, avoiding the Duchess’ gaze.

Social media users noted the unwelcome reaction from the crowd, with many praising the Duchess for her calm and unphased demeanor in the face of hostile members of the public.

Others also spoke of her courage and bravery for coming forward at all, knowing that some people would react negatively to her.

Sara Gibbs tweeted: “It took enormous courage, grace and dignity for Meghan Markle to act in this capacity today. I’m not a stickler for royalty but as someone who would rather avoid someone who has despised me forever than to have a bit of an awkward conversation, I think she’s brave.”

Another Twitter user shared the video of Meghan being rejected, writing: “The way some people in this country are treating Meghan Markle is absolutely disgusting and embarrassing.”

This was told by a royal expert The independent that the reunion between the brothers was “a symbolic gesture to show respect to both their late grandmother and their father, the new king.”

The brothers have reportedly been feuding since before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior members of the royal family in 2020. Following their decision to step down, Oprah Winfrey sat down with Prince Harry and Meghan for a chat that aired in March 2021.

However, after the royal couple were spotted together last week, Oprah said she hopes the Duke and Duchess of Sussex can use the opportunity to make peace with their family members.
