Following Prince Harry’s recent departure from the Sentebale charity he co-founded, and amid accusations of “toxic” behavior from the charity’s chairwoman, Dr. Sophie Chandauka, an old video of Meghan Markle has resurfaced and is generating considerable online discussion.
The video, from the 2023 Royal Salute Polo Challenge in Florida, shows Markle directing Chandauka to move during a trophy presentation photo opportunity. At the time, the Duchess of Sussex’s actions were called “rude,” “cringey,” and “bossy” by social media users. The re-emergence of the video has reignited this criticism, with some users revisiting their previous comments and others adding new ones.
The online conversation has intensified following a recent Instagram post featuring images of the interaction. The post’s caption referenced Chandauka’s accusations against Prince Harry, further fueling speculation and commentary about the couple’s relationship with the charity. Many users expressed their belief in Chandauka’s claims, while others criticized Markle’s behavior in the video, calling her “toxic” and accusing her of seeking the spotlight.
