00:00Meghan Markle has had so many awkward moments that still haunt her to this day
00:05Meghan Markle suffered an awkward microphone blunder after the charity event
00:16The Duchess met with crowds in a stunning blue dress that appeared to be quite see-through on the bottom half
00:22Like do you remember that time in her Netflix documentary series with her husband Prince Harry?
00:27Where it got a lot of people talking because she shared a moment when she met Queen Elizabeth
00:33For the first time and how she did a big curtsy for her
00:42It was kind of a surprise meeting and Meghan compared it to something out of medieval times
00:49Which made things even more awkward and Harry was feeling
00:53Uncomfortable too if you look at the scene and the way Meghan did the curtsy with the
00:59exaggerated gestures and
01:01What people would describe as a sarcastic tone it rubbed a lot of people the wrong way
01:07And they thought she was making fun of the Queen and making fun of the whole royal tradition
01:16Some people were super critical saying that this was so
01:20Disrespectful but other people they defended her saying that oh, it's just her getting used to the cultural differences
01:27Either way this whole thing triggered a ton of backlash for Meghan Markle and to this day
01:32She definitely cannot live down that moment. It's still something that people talk about
01:38There was also that incident with the microphone. That was pretty awkward
01:42Where Meghan Markle she was there trying to snatch a microphone from a female host at a fancy charity event
01:49And this was hosted by Kevin Costner the actor brah
01:53Yeah
01:54It was so cringe and the host totally ignored
01:57Meghan's gesture and it ended up all over the internet people were talking about it saying like come on
02:04Megan like that was that was bad. Some people said that Meghan was trying to steal the spotlight here
02:10But other people said that it was just a mistake or that she was just trying to be helpful
02:16Either way, it didn't make Megan look good at all in the public
02:20I especially since everybody knows how Megan Markle really loves the spotlight
02:25there was also some body language experts that weighed in on this moment and they suggested that Megan's grab of the mic gesture and
02:34Subsequent actions afterwards indicated that she was trying to recover from an embarrassing moment
02:41So she had an awkward moment with meeting Queen Elizabeth
02:44But then there was also another awkward moment when she met then Prince Charles who's now King Charles
02:51Megan's first meeting with King Charles back when he was Prince Charles at Clarence house was a huge deal
02:59Not just for her relationship with Prince Harry, but also for her whole
03:04Introduction into the royal family. It was a formal meeting and let's be real both Megan and
03:11King Charles, they were probably, you know a little bit nervous as to how this was gonna go down and
03:18Megan's American ways came out when she gave King Charles a hug
03:25Yeah, it was a shock. It surprised Harry and surprised King Charles because yeah
03:32That's a big no-no in the royal world
03:35I think it would have been a bigger deal if he was
03:40Currently King Charles not still Prince Charles at the time
03:44But either way Charles who isn't exactly known to be a big hugger himself was of course pretty surprised
03:52But you know, he played it cool and Megan quickly caught on and switched to the traditional cheek-to-cheek greeting
03:59Yeah
04:00And this whole thing just goes to show you how awkward it could be when you're trying to adjust to new traditions
04:06Another awkward moment that still haunts Meghan Markle was that Oprah
04:11interruption so in the lively city of Santa Barbara a bookstore was opening and it was like a
04:18magnet for bookworms and people who are into literature and
04:23you had celebrities like Oprah Winfrey there as well as Meghan Markle showing up and
04:29It was supposed to be a night of book talk as well as deep thoughts and discussions
04:36But yeah, things didn't go exactly as planned
04:40Meghan Markle stepped up to the mic like a boss looking all confident and charming and
04:47she started talking about how books and bookstores make her feel safe and cozy and a bunch of other things and
04:54Everyone was hanging on to every single word that she was saying they were completely soaking it all in
05:00But then suddenly there was a little bit of a commotion in the back
05:04Oprah Winfrey, of course a legend in her own right made her entrance and she's got that commanding presence
05:11You know, she's Oprah when she enters a room. Everybody sits up straight. Everybody acknowledges
05:17Everybody recognizes that Oprah has entered the building but as she made her way to her seat she
05:24Accidentally walked in front of the camera that was filming Meghan Markle's speech
05:29And it was like a scene from a comedy movie and the audience didn't know whether to laugh or a cringe
05:36Meghan stopped talking for a second there, but she totally kept it cool and Oprah realized what she had done and apologized
05:44Real quick Meghan was gracious about it and she understanded like saying, you know, no worries
05:50It happens and whatnot, but there was a journalist named Elizabeth Holmes who's known for being sharp and funny
05:56She posted about it on Instagram and she said that Oprah's entrance was so
06:01Stealthy that it was like she was a ninja and it was a short interruption
06:05but it left everybody feeling a bit awkward and of course even Meghan was feeling a little bit awkward when she was
06:13Interrupted like this by Oprah, but hey, it is Oprah. What what do you do?
06:17What can you say after that little hiccup though?
06:20Meghan went back on to talking about her love of books and how they can change your life and the audience got to see two
06:28Celebrity women Meghan and Oprah
06:30Handle an awkward situation on the spot
06:34There was also another incident at Wimbledon with Meghan Markle and her security team
06:39So her security team had asked attendees at Wimbledon not to take photos of her
06:46even though she was in a public area and this led to a lot of
06:50criticism as well as
06:53Accusations of her being a diva and some reports suggested that the requests were made even when
07:00Photographers were not directly aiming their cameras at her. So yeah, this rubbed a lot of people the wrong way
07:06It definitely was pretty awkward because they're like Megan Megan Megan, who are you really, you know?
07:12She was being called a diva here. Another moment involves the show suits that she was on
07:18Well, not the show directly but people that were on the show
07:23so in suits Meghan Markle played Rachel Zane and she was surrounded by rumors that made
07:29Everybody, you know wonder like what is going on?
07:33And apparently she had some crazy requests that were way out there
07:37Like can you believe that she wanted a private screening of the show's last episode at Kensington Palace?
07:45Like she was some kind of VIP. Yeah, this is what people were saying
07:50They were like, well, okay Megan, you know simmer down a little bit
07:54I mean usually popular shows celebrate their endings with public events for all their fans and maybe there's a VIP
08:02After-party or something, but you know, that's not all that people were talking about when it came to this
08:08There were also some whispers that Meghan Markle asked her castmates from suits to literally
08:14skip her wedding to Prince Harry and
08:18She was pretty much saying that she wanted to separate her work life from her personal life
08:24but some people thought that she was trying to act all high and mighty and
08:28Distance herself from the people that she worked with on the show suits
08:33The private screening thing really got a lot of people talking and some people thought that
08:38Meghan wanted to control how everybody saw her for leaving suits and joining the British royal family and
08:46They called her a diva and said that she was trying to create a certain image of herself for the public
08:52But in the end despite all of the opinions and gossip around this Meghan Markle, you know
08:57She made her choice. She continued to marry Prince Harry
09:01She moved on and there's still though a lot of people that are saying that okay her attitude
09:09definitely
09:10Changed and this is just something that she will never be able to live down because a lot of people felt disrespected
09:18This next incident takes us back to 2018 during a royal trip to New Zealand
09:23Meghan Markle's wardrobe choice had the entire world talking
09:29So she rocked a sheer black skirt and you could literally see what she was wearing under
09:37People went nuts, of course saying that it wasn't right to wear something like that in public
09:43especially for somebody in the royal family
09:46however
09:47Upon further investigation
09:49It was actually how the pattern on her dress was arranged that made it look like
09:56You could see what she was wearing under the dress
10:00clearly her stylist
10:02Completely missed this the whole thing really made it clear that every little thing you do
10:09Even as simple as choosing what you wear and how it looks in the different lighting
10:15Matters especially if you're a celebrity like Meghan Markle who is definitely gonna be haunted by this
10:22Moment, I think pretty much for the rest of her life
10:26Being a member of the royal family isn't easy as soon as Meghan Markle got engaged to Prince Harry the public scrutiny of her
10:32Outfits increased could Meghan Markle be the Queen? Whoa
10:37Hold on before you take my question way out of context
10:41Could Meghan Markle be the Queen of awkward moments caught on camera getting embarrassed?
10:47Regularly is considered normal for normal people
10:50But not so much when you are trying to impress Royals because my gut tells me that there aren't
10:56Many people who are constantly being watched as much as her which begs the question
11:01Does Meghan just happen to have so many ridiculous awkward moments that are always being caught on camera?
11:07There's no class in some person who goes sit like this cross your legs like this use this fork
11:12Don't do this doesn't happen or does she have a normal amount of these awkward moments?
11:17But the cameras are always rolling
11:20So it seems like they're happening more often than they actually are and it's disproportionate. Yeah, the answer to that question
11:27Actually doesn't matter because either way we're diving into the most awkward Meghan Markle moments from wardrobe
11:34Malfunctions to ignorant actions towards the Queen that have been caught on camera. You'll often hear people say
11:40well, you're helping women find their voices and I fundamentally disagree with that all right picture this a
11:46Royal wedding a celebration of love and friendship and now add in Meghan Markle known for her deliberate and sometimes
11:54accidental challenges to the royal dress code because why not right in this tale of fashion finesse and
12:00Unintentional rebelliousness Meghan attended the wedding of Harry's close friend and suffered a wardrobe malfunction
12:08Twitter exploded when Meghan appeared to suffer a very minor wardrobe malfunction
12:13According to the fashion detectives over at entertainment tonight the top button of Meghan's dress decided to make an early exit
12:21Revealing a peak of a black lace
12:23Undergarment all the audacity for someone newly navigating the intricacies of a very conservative family
12:30The royal family this was undoubtedly a moment that made even the most seasoned
12:36Duchess feel a little bit too awkward in the grand tradition of social media over analysis
12:42One Twitter user could not resist the urge but to share their fashion expertise
12:47Quoting Meghan stepped out in dark colors like someone attending a funeral and did she deliberately flaunt her bra for the
12:55camera they pondered because
12:58you know attending a wedding in dark colors is practically a fashion crime and the unintentional peep of
13:06said undergarment might have been a strategic move in this
13:10world of royal fashion espionage that Meghan is
13:15Diving into all right
13:17Let's talk about the Endeavor fund ceremony during Meghan's engagement to Prince Harry the event
13:24Usually smooth sailing hit a few bumps in 2018
13:28Meghan was on stage presenting awards when a slight mix-up with the notes caused a
13:34Terribly awkward silence her co-presenter confessed to having different notes
13:39And while tension rose Meghan did her best to lighten the mood with a few laughs
13:44But you know eventually the ceremony did end up getting back on track after a brief hiccup
13:50thankfully avoiding a
13:522017 Oscars like disaster remember that time when they presented best picture to the wrong winner in
13:58Warren Beatty's defense La La Land was pretty top-notch. Let's take it over to March 2018
14:05Westminster Abbey during the Commonwealth Day service where Liam Payne fellow Brit the One Direction
14:12Harthrop took the stage and he strummed the John Mayer's waiting on the world to change you know that one
14:22Well the performance seemed to wrap up well with Payne nodding and the audience was
14:29Enlightened Payne started giving fist bumps to his fellow guitarists
14:32And it gets interesting because Meghan and Prince Harry were caught on camera
14:38Exchanging glances to each other in which Harry started raising his eyebrows and Meghan ends up bursting into laughter
14:44Oh, did I mention that they're in a church?
14:47So what's the inside scoop did the two not vibe with the performance?
14:52Did Meghan and Harry find the fist bumping with the guitarists a tad too much does Meghan Markle enjoy laughing out loud in church?
14:59One should hope not no laughing on holy ground Meghan
15:02I for one hear that Liam's performance was top-notch had I laughed
15:06I would forever feel ashamed of my actions rumor is that Meghan and Liam Payne are
15:12Working on restoring the burnt-down bridges of their friendship slowly, but surely you two
15:17Let's dive into the sunny streets of California in July where Meghan Markle the Duchess of Sussex
15:25Embraced the local vibes at a Santa Barbara farmers market picture this
15:30Meghan solo
15:32Navigating through the markets fresh offerings probably checking out some different fruits here and there some nice vegetables
15:39Soaking up the Californian sunshine. It sounds perfect, right?
15:42well
15:43hold on to your Sun hats there fellas because according to a report Meghan might have unknowingly stirred up a
15:49tad bit of controversy as
15:52Captured by the ever watchful lens of the Daily Mail our Duchess of Sussex was seen with her pet beagle
15:59While going for a stroll through this farmers market, so who cares? Well, here's the twist
16:04There was a sign in the background. It was lit up
16:07It was a huge huge sign and it seems like Meghan might have missed the memo because the sign boldly declares
16:14No dogs allowed. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation
16:18Meghan well in her defense perhaps Meghan is so
16:24Used to British English nowadays that she forgot how to comprehend signs that are well
16:30Written in American English it happens. We are all thankful that nothing horrible happened as a result of Meghan's
16:37Misunderstanding and all the apples at the market were in fact left intact
16:41What about the time that Harry purposefully avoided Meghan?
16:45Alright picture this one Harry and Meghan at the young leaders reception a snippet of awkwardness
16:51Captured for the world to see this video shows Meghan reaching for Harry's hand only for him to skillfully
16:58evade her hand and as
17:01Action happens. He clasps his hands together instead. Ouch, Meghan
17:06That one's gotta hurt. So avoid your wife's hand and put your hands together instead, but hold on
17:12There's a twist in this tale enter Blanca Cobb the body language expert with insights on this situation
17:19According to Blanca, it's not that Harry is playing hard-to-get for the cameras
17:23It's more about navigating the royal do's and don'ts and since public displays of affection are a bit of a no-no in the Queen's presence
17:31Harry might be walking the fine line of royal etiquette Cobb talks about the moment and notes
17:36Meghan's arms and her hands don't swing naturally
17:40It's as if she's keeping it within Harry's reach for that when the moment presents itself, they can hold hands
17:46So it turns out it is less of a diss and more of a strategic move in the royal chess game after all when grandma's
17:53Around you got to play by the rules, even if it means, you know, avoiding a little hand-holding moment
17:59Oh the complexities of being a royal couple in the public eye last but not least Meghan Markle
18:06Seven months pregnant at Mayhew an animal welfare charity close to her heart now enter Peggy
18:13McEachran an elderly Jamaican born woman with an unconventional
18:18Compliment up her sleeve Peggy runs into Meghan and blurts. What a lovely lady you are. May God bless you
18:28And she also happens to I'm Megan's baby bump with admiration, of course because here comes the curveball
18:35She adds on. Oh and you're a fat lady
18:38See now in some cultures fat lady might not scream compliment
18:43But Megan chuckled through the awkwardness and responded with a nice and partially awkward response herself
18:49Yeah, I'll take it turns out in Jamaican culture
18:53This is more of a harmless remark than a comment on your royal baby weight a fellow Twitter user clarified
19:00I am Jamaican. This is a Jamaican lady. And this is how we Jamaicans say you are very pregnant
19:06Okay, so cultural nuances they never really fail to keep us on our toes and thus concludes the awkward life of
19:14Meghan Markle, did we miss any awkward Megan moments?
19:17Do any come to mind that we didn't gloss towards?
19:20Meghan Markle is a style icon
19:22But so far the fashion world has yet to see the Duchess of Sussex offer anything other than her signature sleek looking locks
19:27Harry and Meghan doing their thing in America and
19:32Harry's off doing his thing in other countries away from his wife as Meghan Markle deals with the pressure to improve her
19:38finances and her marriage
19:40The stress is actually starting to show up in her physical looks and this according to a new report the insetter says he's fully on
19:47board
19:48Meghan Markle who is a former actress?
19:50She's reportedly losing weight very rapidly and people close to her are becoming really concerned about this
19:58They're starting to notice this. Hi
20:00I'm Rachel Zane. I'll be giving your orientation rumors about Megan's health started when she was seen in Montecito, California on August 11th
20:082023 which was a day that was very warm
20:11However, Megan was wearing a wool coat and a scarf which seemed out of place and she also had on a new calm biosignal
20:19Processed disc which is a device that claims to help reduce stress and improve sleep quality and enhance your focus
20:26Well, apparently it is a biosignal processing disc right on the veins on the inside of her left hand, which he was showing though
20:33with Megan
20:34wearing this coat and a scarf in
20:38Hot weather like this as well as wearing
20:42anti-stress disc
20:44Something's really going on here guys
20:46235 pounds to three nearly three thousand pounds a year and it tells you your mood and correct
20:51Before Jim now there was one source that said that Megan's recent appearance can actually be attributed to the
20:58Enormous stress that she's facing and how it's affecting her body
21:03And this is what they had to say Megan's anxiety kicks in when she's not in control
21:07It seems that the pressure of making her mark in Hollywood is finally getting to Megan trying to reestablish herself
21:15Constant money problems Harry traveling and leaving her alone a lot. It all adds up
21:21She's stressed and friends are afraid. She could be spiraling big notes
21:26I'm not gonna repeat myself, but that's not all guys
21:29The source also went on to say this when Megan is stressed
21:32She barely eats friends say she's dropped at least 15 pounds
21:37She doesn't have an appetite when she's juggling a lot
21:40Oh the best way to kill time on a flight is to drink wine and watch movies
21:44so reports suggest that Megan is actually dealing with a lot right now and that has to do with a lot of the
21:51Uncertainty both in her work life and her personal life and this seems to be impacting their
21:57Finances as well as affecting their marriage her and Harry on a whole after producing just one 13 episode
22:03podcast series for the firm before
22:06Separating Prince Harry and Megan Markle have been dubbed now the same source also commented on this
22:12They said being millions in debt is extremely stressful
22:15Sometimes she's not able to sleep at night because of it keeping up the lavish lifestyle
22:20They led isn't easy. Of course things cost money and if you want to live big you got to be earning big as well
22:27Also in addition to that
22:29There's a report according to radar online that had this to say the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been worn down after public
22:37Backlash failed business deals and public spats with their loved ones palace insiders revealed
22:43They're trying to figure out what hit them. Harry doesn't fit in Megan's tacky tinsel town world
22:50so this is an interesting perspective guys because Megan Markle she's used to the
22:55Actress lifestyle the Hollywood sort of being around celebrities Harry
23:00Yes to some degree because Harry has always been well-known
23:03He's always been famous, but he's never been in Hollywood and in that circle
23:07So it's definitely difficult for him to be navigating that world as well on top of that
23:13Trouble in the marriage and at the same time the public doesn't like you and on top of that
23:19Not just a public that doesn't like you but your own family don't like you as well
23:24Yeah
23:24So all of these mounting pressures and all these problems and everything that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex Harry and Megan have found
23:30themselves dealing with right now is
23:33Really impacting Megan Markle's health and she before was a relatively thin woman
23:40so if she's losing 15 pounds and like just how much more is she gonna lose and
23:45Could this be something that would could be very detrimental to her health?
23:50We don't know being a member of the royal family isn't easy as soon as Megan Markle got engaged to Prince Harry the public
23:56scrutiny of her outfits increased fashion mishaps
23:59They happen especially when you're in the public eye like Megan Markle is people will just notice things
24:05Here are the most awkward Megan Markle wardrobe malfunctions getting embarrassed
24:10Regularly is considered normal for normal people but not so much when you are trying to impress Royals back in
24:172018 as the royal tour was concluding with Megan Markle and Prince Harry finishing their 16-day journey across New
24:25Zealand Australia as well as Fiji and Tonga on her final day Megan Markle wore a custom
24:31Givenchy skirt that appeared slightly see-through in some of the photos Megan Markle steps out in a see-through skirt
24:39However, this wasn't a straight-up wardrobe malfunction, but it was because of the fabric like depending on the lighting
24:45It looks like it's see-through as well as the pattern on her skirt how it's stitched and the lighting it gave an illusion
24:52Like you were literally seeing her underwear
24:54There was another incident during her 37th birthday where Megan Markle attended the wedding of Prince Harry's friend
25:02Charlie Van Straben Zee and he was getting married to Daisy Jenks and Megan's outfit
25:08Which was a color block pleated shirt dress from Club Monaco
25:13Revealed a black lace camisole underneath due to an undone top button while she waves to the crowd
25:22Twitter exploded when Megan appeared to suffer a very minor wardrobe malfunction
25:27That incident made headlines all over the world and people were even accusing her of doing the wardrobe malfunction on purpose
25:34Just so that she can have all of the attention on herself going back to October 25th
25:402018 Megan Markle arrived in Tonga and she was wearing a gorgeous red self-portrait dress worth about
25:47$600 and it was paired with the Navy pumps while stepping off the plane hand-in-hand with Prince Harry her husband
25:55royal fans they noticed a
25:58wardrobe malfunction there the tag of
26:01Megan's dress was still attached and no swinging in the wind at the back
26:06But despite this the couple was warmly welcomed by the airport staff
26:11Carrying a sign that read welcome Harry and Megan and the crowd sang traditional songs and dance while waving Union Jack's
26:20The welcome like no other Pacific Island melodies accompanying the kingdom's Princess Angelica
26:26The next Megan Markle wardrobe malfunction happened during the Festival of Remembrance on November 10th
26:312018 Megan Markle along with other Royals
26:35She experienced a wardrobe malfunction and that stole the show at that time
26:40She was a mom-to-be and she spilled something on her pantyhose
26:45resulting in visible splotches and it raised concerns of you know
26:50What was that like what's spilt there? What is that?
26:53It was from her foot all the way to her shin
26:56Despite her black pumps and the baby bump hidden beneath her matching coat dress that random wet mark on
27:04Her leg on the right
27:06It was completely noticeable making it seem like she had been out in the rain or had something
27:13Spill on her this next incident has to do with Megan Markle and she was wearing a Navy jacket with white edging
27:21however, people looked closely and they observed an
27:25unfortunate wardrobe malfunction from behind a
27:29Temporary stitch was left holding together the flap at the back of the coat and these tacking stitches
27:36there are typically meant to be removed before the garment is actually worn and they're used by
27:42Seamstresses to hold elements of the clothing in place while they work on the rest of them. So yeah her stylist definitely
27:50overlooked that one
