Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently attended a banquet in Colombia hosted by Vice President Francia Márquez, but the event quickly turned into a spectacle that left many attendees talking.
Meghan Markle, known for her ability to command attention, reportedly made the occasion all about herself, even allegedly pushing Prince Harry aside to ensure she remained in the spotlight. The once-grandiose royal events with opulent settings seemed a distant memory as this banquet unfolded in a setting more reminiscent of a school cafeteria than a state banquet.
Gone were the golden plates and crystal glasses typically associated with royal affairs. Instead, Harry and Meghan found themselves in a gymnasium with tables awkwardly pushed together, creating an atmosphere that felt more like a school lunch than a diplomatic event. The lack of elegance was evident, from the paper napkins to the sparse utensils, with even a fork being a luxury. Despite the humble setting, Meghan reportedly maneuvered her way into the most prominent seat at the table, leaving Prince Harry at a far less prestigious spot, often likened to the "kiddie table." One can only imagine the embarrassment Harry felt, relegated to the corner, pushing his food around while his wife basked in the attention.
The makeshift banquet setup left much to be desired. The random placement of glasses and the overall haphazard arrangement seemed almost designed to make the royals feel out of place. For Harry, who once enjoyed the grandeur of Buckingham Palace, this experience must have been a stark reminder of how much his life has changed. Surrounded by plastic flowers and a gymnasium backdrop, he likely reflected on the decisions that brought him to this point.
The contrast between Harry and Meghan's seating arrangements could not have been more glaring. While Meghan sat among dignitaries, Harry found himself at a table that felt like an afterthought. As he quietly picked at his food, one can only wonder what was going through his mind—perhaps a reflection on how far he has fallen from the days of royal opulence.
As if the situation wasn’t already uncomfortable, Harry reportedly began eating while speeches were still being made, a possible sign of his unease or resignation. Meghan, however, seemed unfazed by the attention her actions garnered. Some observers suggest that her behavior was part of a calculated effort to assert dominance and remind everyone who truly holds power in their relationship. Meghan has always been ambitious, never shying away from the spotlight, but Harry appears to be paying the price for his decision to marry her. Since their wedding, he has often been seen living in Meghan's shadow, and now, even at events that should have been a joint appearance, he is relegated to playing second fiddle.
This incident is just another in a series of controversies surrounding Meghan. Royal experts speculate that her actions were deliberate, a way to assert her control and keep the narrative focused on her. Harry, once a carefree prince who never had to worry about being overshadowed by his brother, now finds himself overshadowed by his own wife, even at the most modest of banquets.
