Birthday wardrobe malfunction
When attending a friend’s wedding in 2018 on her birthday, Meghan’s top button of her dress became undone, showing off a black lace bra. For us normals, not that big of a deal. For someone recently married into the conservative royal family, it was a relatively awkward moment.

The royal family certainly isn’t into PDA, and even an innocent back rub has been called into question. Regarding the clip in question, which shows her rubbing his back as he greets schoolchildren, one person tweets, “Not ‘affectionate’ at all but rather a constant reminder he should know she is around and ‘deserves’ his full attention. Very embarrassing coming from a 40-year-old woman.”
Royally snubbed with a scarf
A video surfaced online showing supposed tension between Prince William and Meghan. While she tried to talk to her brother-in-law, he ignored her, instead spending time adjusting his scarf.

When Prince Harry and his wife travelled to Suva, Fiji, she wore earrings gifted by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia. At the dinner, there was a crisis over the news that a Saudi journalist called Jamal Khashoggi was killed by the Saudi Arabian government at the prince’s behest, turning the earrings into an instant PR crisis.
