Meghan Markle has returned to royal life, although temporarily, as she accompanied her husband Prince Harry to the recently held Windsor Walkabout.
The couple was seen making their way in public with William and Kate on Saturday where they were welcomed by crowds. The couples walked around and glanced over stunning tributes and beautiful displays that were laid out in honor of Her Majesty.
But as you can expect, Meghan Markle making a public appearance as major as this was bound to draw mixed reactions.
While some really appreciated her presence and offered to give her warm hugs and handshakes, there were some that put out stony facial expressions. After all, badmouthing the Royal Family and then making a return just had a lot of questions in people’s minds.
Nevertheless, you could see the Duchess maintain her calm and composure as she smiled away nervously, greeting and meeting the crowds with her husband close by.
There were numerous occasions when we saw Harry getting emotional while looking at the beautiful tributes for the Queen. And that’s when Meghan jumped right in, hand in hand, making sure her beloved husband was alright.
All four of the royals were dressed sharply in black as they put on smiles while posing for the crowds and for pictures.
Meghan did appreciate the warm hugs that came as a surprise with her attendance that wasn’t confirmed until the last hour. But many couldn’t be more delighted to see how differences could be set to the side and still be united as one during times of grief.
Some local media outlets said Meghan meeting the crowds alone wasn’t appreciated to such an extent as was Harry’s. And that’s why she did appear standoffish on plenty of occasions while trying to smile away and disguise her nervousness.
