However, a video captured an awkward moment where Meghan Markle seemingly redirected the woman to stand beside her instead of Harry.

However, this moment was met with a lot of criticism as many labelled the Duchess as ‘rude’ and ‘insecure.’

Meghan Markle called out for her ‘bossy’ behaviour

“Oh my gosh — she inserts herself into everything & controls everyone. Good grief,” a person wrote on X (formerly Twitter) after mentioning how awkward was it to even see this clip. Another wrote, “She seems insecure regarding her husband. That’s why she keeps clinging to him and any woman who [stands] beside him is told to stand beside her.”

More chimed in, “So f------ bossy & insecure,” “I’m not understanding why she’s even in this shot, other than being a narcissistic control freak — she’s not one of the polo players, she’s a wife. She’s so rude to those other women it’s unbelievable.”
