Meghan Markle’s Controversial Red Carpet Moment: What Really Happened?

The incident of Meghan Markle blowing up at Prince Harry when he blocked her from the red carpet during their state visit to Morocco in 2019 has long been a topic of controversy. This event reflects deeper issues within the royal family and has garnered significant attention, even becoming the subject of viral videos and extensive media scrutiny.

The Context: A Royal State Visit to Morocco

During the royal state visit to Morocco, the expectation was that only true-born royals would be on the red carpet. When Prince Harry, who is a true-born royal, was welcomed on the carpet, Meghan Markle, who is not, was 'guided' to walk down the side. This situation clearly made her very displeased, much like a child trying to walk on the edge of the carpet. Other people present, as seen from their expressions in the video, did not seem to view the situation with much respect or sympathy for her.

Meghan’s Reaction: Wobbling and Looking into the Camera

The viral video captures the exact moment of this incident. Meghan Markle, seven months pregnant at the time, is seen in a stunning custom red Valentino mini cape dress and nude heels, looking regal but clearly agitated. Prince Harry, on the other hand, is seen wearing a light gray suit with a matching tie, already a part of the state visit protocol.

As she was blocked from the main red carpet, Meghan began to wobble and looked into the camera, a clear sign of her emotional distress. Her reaction was not just a momentary frustration but reflected her broader aspirations and struggles within the royal family. This video reveals the tension and the public scrutiny that Meghan experienced during her time as a Sussex royal.

An Analysis of the Incident

What led to Meghan Markle blowing up at Prince Harry? The incident can be seen as a microcosm of the broader issues within the royal family. Meghan’s goal was to fit seamlessly into royal life, but her break from script, especially during such public events, led to a series of perceived and real challenges.

Meghan’s desire to be more involved and visible during events, despite having a royal standing, often placed her in situations where she had to endure protocols that did not necessarily align with her aspirations. Her frustration is palpable in the video, as she is seen trying to navigate a situation that felt exclusionary and disrespectful.

Broader Implications

This red carpet moment has broader implications for Meghan’s career and her relationship with the royal family. It also sheds light on the dynamics within the royal family itself, where expectations and traditions can sometimes clash with modern aspirations.

Meghan’s public response to such incidents became a hallmark of her persona as a member of the royal family. Her determination to have more control over her public image and her willingness to react to perceived injustices have been significant factors in her public image and the narrative surrounding her role within the royal household.
