A TikTok video has gone viral of Meghan meeting a woman who seemingly ignored her, and one user wrote, «Why can’t people just be kind?»
A video of a member of the public appearing to ignore Meghan Markle during the royal’s walkabout at Windsor Castle, England, on Saturday has gone viral on TikTok, gaining more than 11 million views in 24 hours.
Meghan met with crowds of the British public for the first time since stepping down from her role as a senior working royal in 2020, as people lined Windsor Castle’s long walk to pay tributes after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The duchess and her husband, Prince Harry, were visiting Europe to attend a number of charity events when news that the queen’s health was a cause for concern was announced on Thursday at 12:30 p.m. U.K. time.
Six hours later, a statement from Buckingham Palace read: «The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral [in Scotland] this afternoon.»
On Saturday, Meghan and Harry surprised mourners who had gathered outside Windsor Castle by appearing alongside Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, now the Prince and Princess of Wales, for the first time in more than two years.
The couples arrived at the gates of the castle together in one car, driven by Prince William, and after viewing flowers together, they separated to meet well-wishers on either side of the long walk.
News coverage of the event showed Meghan meeting the public, speaking with small children and shaking hands.
In a clip from this footage that has now gone viral online, captioned «rude !! poor Megan,» a woman in the crowd appears to ignore the duchess before going on to share a reserved smile with an onlooker.
