Even at an event honoring sports stars, Meghan Markle can’t seem to escape the drama surrounding her royal exit. The ESPY Awards took an uncomfortable turn when someone in the crowd decided to voice their disapproval of the Duchess loud enough for everyone to hear.
As Meghan moved through the venue, a sudden shout of “You’re no princess!” cut through the buzz of conversation. The harsh words hung in the air for a tense moment before the Duchess, true to form, simply smiled and carried on with her evening.
It was a brief but telling moment that highlighted the polarized opinions about Harry and Meghan’s post-royal life. While some audience members seemed shocked by the outburst, others appeared unsurprised—a reminder of how divisive the couple remains years after their move to America.
Social media reactions mirrored this split, with heated debates about whether the heckler crossed a line or simply expressed what many think. Through it all, Meghan’s calm response spoke volumes about her ability to handle public scrutiny—a skill she’s had plenty of practice with since becoming one of the world’s most talked-about women.
