00:00
Being a member of the royal family isn't easy.
00:02
As soon as Meghan Markle got engaged to Prince Harry,
00:04
the public scrutiny of her outfits increased.
00:06
Could Meghan Markle be the queen?
00:09
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:10
Hold on.
00:11
Before you take my question way out of context,
00:14
could Meghan Markle be the queen of awkward moments caught on camera?
00:19
Getting embarrassed regularly is considered normal for normal people,
00:24
but not so much when you are trying to impress royals.
00:27
Because my gut tells me that there aren't many people
00:30
who are constantly being watched as much as her.
00:33
Which begs the question,
00:35
does Meghan just happen to have so many ridiculous,
00:38
awkward moments that are always being caught on camera?
00:41
There's no class in some person who goes,
00:43
"Sit like this, cross your legs like this, use this fork, don't do this."
00:46
It doesn't happen.
00:47
Or does she have a normal amount of these awkward moments,
00:51
but the cameras are always rolling,
00:53
so it seems like they're happening more often than they actually are,
00:57
and it's disproportionate?
00:58
Eh, the answer to that question actually doesn't matter.
01:02
Because either way, we're diving into the most awkward Meghan Markle moments,
01:06
from wardrobe malfunctions to ignorant actions towards the queen
01:10
that have been caught on camera.
01:12
You'll often hear people say,
01:13
"Well, you're helping women find their voices."
01:16
And I fundamentally disagree with that.
01:17
All right, picture this.
01:18
A royal wedding.
01:20
A celebration of love and friendship.
01:23
And now add in Meghan Markle,
01:24
known for her deliberate and sometimes accidental challenges to the royal dress code.
01:29
Because why not, right?
01:31
In this tale of fashion finesse and unintentional rebelliousness,
01:35
Meghan attended the wedding of Harry's close friend
01:38
and suffered a wardrobe malfunction.
01:40
(crowd cheering)
01:41
- Twitter exploded when Meghan appeared to suffer a very minor wardrobe malfunction.
01:46
According to the fashion detectives over at Entertainment Tonight,
01:50
the top button of Meghan's dress decided to make an early exit,
01:54
revealing a peak of a black lace undergarment.
01:57
Oh, the audacity for someone newly navigating the intricacies
02:01
of a very conservative family, the royal family.
02:05
This was undoubtedly a moment that made even the most seasoned duchess
02:09
feel a little bit too awkward.
02:11
In the grand tradition of social media over analysis,
02:15
one Twitter user could not resist the urge,
02:18
but to share their fashion expertise.
02:20
Quoting, "Meghan stepped out in dark colors like someone attending a funeral."
02:25
And did she deliberately flaunt her bra for the camera?
02:29
They pondered.
02:30
Because, you know, attending a wedding in dark colors is practically a fashion crime.
02:36
And the unintentional peep of said undergarment
02:41
might have been a strategic move in this world of royal fashion espionage
02:47
that Meghan is diving into.
02:49
All right, let's talk about the Endeavor Fund ceremony
02:53
during Meghan's engagement to Prince Harry.
02:56
The event, usually smooth sailing, hit a few bumps in 2018.
03:01
Meghan was on stage presenting awards when a slight mix-up with the notes
03:06
caused a terribly awkward silence.
03:09
Her co-presenter confessed to having different notes,
03:12
and while tension rose, Meghan did her best to lighten the mood
03:16
with a few laughs.
03:17
But, you know, eventually the ceremony did end up getting back on track
03:21
after a brief hiccup, thankfully avoiding a 2017 Oscars-like disaster.
03:27
Remember that time when they presented best picture to the wrong winner?
03:31
In Warren Beatty's defense, La La Land was pretty top-notch.
03:35
Let's take it over to March 2018, Westminster Abbey,
03:40
during the Commonwealth Day service,
03:42
where Liam Payne, fellow Brit, the One Direction hearthrob,
03:46
took the stage, and he strummed John Mayer's
03:49
"Waiting on the World to Change."
03:51
You know that one?
03:52
♪ Waiting on the world to change ♪
03:56
Well, the performance seemed to wrap up well,
03:58
with Payne nodding, and the audience was enlightened.
04:03
Payne started giving fist bumps to his fellow guitarists,
04:06
and it gets interesting, because Meghan and Prince Harry
04:09
were caught on camera exchanging glances to each other,
04:13
in which Harry started raising his eyebrows,
04:15
and Meghan ends up bursting into laughter.
04:18
Oh, did I mention that they're in a church?
04:21
So what's the inside scoop?
04:22
Did the two not vibe with the performance?
04:25
Did Meghan and Harry find the fist bumping with the guitarists a tad too much?
04:29
Does Meghan Markle enjoy laughing out loud in church?
04:33
One should hope not.
04:34
No laughing on holy ground, Meghan.
04:36
I, for one, hear that Liam's performance was top-notch.
04:39
Had I laughed, I would forever feel ashamed of my actions.
04:42
Rumor is that Meghan and Liam Payne are working on
04:46
restoring the burnt-down bridges of their friendship.
04:49
Slowly but surely, you two.
04:51
Let's dive into the sunny streets of California in July,
04:55
where Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex,
04:58
embraced the local vibes at a Santa Barbara farmer's market.
05:02
Picture this.
05:03
Meghan, solo, navigating through the markets,
05:07
fresh offerings, probably checking out some different fruits here and there,
05:11
some nice vegetables, soaking up the Californian sunshine.
05:14
It sounds perfect, right?
05:16
Well, hold on to your sun hats there, fellas.
05:18
Because according to a report,
05:20
Meghan might have unknowingly stirred up a tad bit of controversy.
05:25
As captured by the ever-watchful lens of the Daily Mail,
05:28
our Duchess of Sussex was seen with her pet beagle
05:32
while going for a stroll through this farmer's market.
05:35
So who cares?
05:36
Well, here's the twist.
05:37
There was a sign in the background.
05:39
It was lit up.
05:40
It was a huge, huge sign.
05:42
And it seems like Meghan might have missed the memo.
05:45
Because the sign boldly declares, "No dogs allowed."
05:49
We thank you for your understanding and cooperation, Meghan.
05:52
Well, in her defense, perhaps Meghan is so used to British English nowadays
06:00
that she forgot how to comprehend signs that are, well,
06:03
written in American English.
06:05
It happens.
06:06
We are all thankful that nothing horrible happened
06:09
as a result of Meghan's misunderstanding,
06:11
and all the apples at the market were, in fact, left intact.
06:15
What about the time that Harry purposefully avoided Meghan?
06:18
All right, picture this one.
06:19
Harry and Meghan at the young leader's reception,
06:23
a snippet of awkwardness captured for the world to see.
06:26
This video shows Meghan reaching for Harry's hand
06:29
only for him to skillfully evade her hand.
06:33
And as action happens, he clasps his hands together instead.
06:38
Ouch, Meghan!
06:40
That one's gotta hurt.
06:41
So avoid your wife's hand and put your hands together instead.
06:45
But hold on, there's a twist in this tale.
06:47
Enter Blanca Cobb, the body language expert with insights on this situation.
06:52
According to Blanca, it's not that Harry is playing hard to get for the cameras.
06:56
It's more about navigating the royal do's and don'ts.
06:59
And since public displays of affection are a bit of a no-no in the queen's presence,
07:04
Harry might be walking the fine line of royal etiquette.
07:07
Cobb talks about the moment and notes,
07:10
"Meghan's arms and her hands don't swing naturally.
07:13
"It's as if she's keeping it within Harry's reach
07:16
"for that when the moment presents itself, they can hold hands."
07:19
So it turns out it is less of a diss
07:22
and more of a strategic move in the royal chess game.
07:25
After all, when grandma's around, you gotta play by the rules.
07:28
Even if it means, you know, avoiding a little hand-holding moment.
07:33
Ah, the complexities of being a royal couple in the public eye.
07:37
Last but not least, Meghan Markle.
07:39
Seven months pregnant.
07:40
At Mayhew, an animal welfare charity close to her heart.
07:45
Now enter Peggy McEachran, an elderly Jamaican-born woman
07:49
with an unconventional compliment up her sleeve.
07:52
Peggy runs into Meghan and blurts, "What a lovely lady you are.
07:57
"May God bless you."
07:58
- And you're a fat lady.
08:00
(laughing)
08:02
- And she also happens to eye Meghan's baby bump
08:05
with admiration, of course, because here comes the curve ball.
08:08
She adds on, "Oh, and you're a fat lady."
08:12
See, now in some cultures, fat lady might not scream compliment,
08:16
but Meghan chuckled through the awkwardness
08:18
and responded with a nice and partially awkward response herself.
08:23
"Yeah, I'll take it."
08:24
Turns out, in Jamaican culture, this is more of a harmless remark
08:28
than a comment on your royal baby weight.
08:31
A fellow Twitter user clarified, "I am Jamaican.
08:34
"This is a Jamaican lady.
08:36
"And this is how we Jamaicans say you are very pregnant."
08:39
Ah, okay.
08:40
So cultural nuances, they never really fail to keep us on our toes.
08:45
And thus concludes the awkward life of Meghan Markle.
08:49
Did we miss any awkward Meghan moments?
08:51
Do any come to mind that we didn't gloss towards?
08:53
Who should we talk about next?
08:55
Who else has had crazy, awkward moments in the eyes of the public?
08:58
Let us know in the comments below.
09:00
Until then, keep your head up high and leave your pets outside
09:03
if you're ever planning on entering a farmer's market.
