Meghan Markle has the Internet buzzing thanks to or because of her latest photos with Prince Harry.
Markle was always known to be a liberated woman with a brilliant mind of her own.
Since stepping down from her royal duties in early 2020 with Prince Harry, she has ruffled many feathers in the royal family and the media with some of her statements and with her actions.
This weekend, Markle confirmed that she is not about to change the way that she does things.
A series of photos of Meghan Markle and her husband sharing a passionate kiss after he won a polo tournament has gone viral.
On Sunday, the former actress turned businesswoman stole the spotlight as she made an appearance at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club in California.
Meghan Markle made a bold fashion statement by wearing an elegant black-and-white polka dot blouse and white shorts.
She completed the look with a black wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and bright red lipstick.
Markle came to cheer her husband and congratulate him and his teammates.
Prince Harry’s team, the Los Padres, won the Lisle Nixon Memorial tournament, and Markle was chosen to hand out the trophies.
Markle gave each male participant a plaque along with a hug and kiss on the cheek.
However, when she got to Prince Harry, she french kissed him.
Her bold and sexy lipstick was smothered on Prince Harry’s lips, so she decided to wipe it off as the fans watched on and photographers snapped photos of the intimate moment.
The photos sparked a lot of reactions on social media, and royal experts were quick to share their thoughts on the matter.
Royal biographer Angela Levin claimed the stunt was “embarrassing” for Prince Harry.
In a tweet, she said: “Why did M wipe Harry’s face when it’s prize-giving time? How embarrassing for him.”
Another royal expert weighed in on the kiss and lip wiping gesture and said it looked like Markle was in full control of the moment and went on to say that it looked a bit out of place in the midst of all the machos.
Royal pundit and body language expert Judi James explained: “The reason why looks pretty obvious. Meghan’s wide-brimmed hat, giant shades, and red lipstick would all form a tactical nightmare for anything more passionate than a peck on the cheek.”
She added: “Even with this carefully-planted cheek kiss, it appears Meghan needs to check her hat and her shades afterward, laughing as she shares the moment with her husband. Even with all her carefulness, though, she is still left wiping lipstick off Harry’s face afterward in a very sweet gesture that nevertheless looks rather out of place in the rather macho-infused line-up of Harry’s team of polo players.”
The power couple always has the experts talking.
