Meghan Markle, the former actress turned Duchess and current wife of Prince Harry, caused quite a commotion at the Green Carpet Fashion Awards in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
Despite not being on the guest list, she made an unexpected appearance, seemingly aiming to steal the spotlight from the event's co-chair, CA. The Duchess of Sussex, now residing in California with her family after stepping back from her royal duties, apparently desired to be a part of the prestigious award ceremony honoring sustainable and ethical fashion.
However, her intentions quickly unraveled when the 27-year-old star of "Dune" and "Euphoria," DEA, confronted Meghan's intrusion and asked her to leave the stage.
Eyewitnesses reported Meghan's arrival at the One Hotel West Hollywood, the venue for the event. She was dressed in a recycled Valentino gown that she had previously worn to a charity event in 2019. Despite lacking an official invitation or role, Meghan managed to bypass security and the media, finding her way onto the stage just as CA was preparing to present the final award of the night.
Attempting to blend in, Meghan seized the microphone from Zena and delivered an impromptu speech about sustainability and social justice. However, Zena, visibly annoyed and confused by Meghan's presence, intervened politely but firmly, asking her to return the microphone and leave the stage. As security escorted Meghan offstage, the audience applauded, while the award winner, Vanessa Nate, looked on bewildered by the disruption.
Meghan's attempt to save face by smiling and waving to the cameras proved futile. Instead, she became the subject of ridicule and criticism on social media and in the press. Many condemned her actions as rude and disrespectful, accusing her of attempting to hijack the event for self-promotion. Critics questioned her motives and qualifications for attending a fashion event, highlighting her past controversies and contrasting her behavior with that of her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, known for her elegant and eco-friendly fashion choices and respect for royal duties.
