Royal Fans Claim Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Booed in Germany
Royal fans have been buzzing about an alleged incident where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were reportedly booed during a recent public appearance in Germany.
A circulating video purportedly captures the moment when the couple faced a chorus of boos, although the authenticity of the footage remains unverified.
The Sussexes made their way to the Dusseldorf Rathaus, also known as the Town Hall, in Germany to attend an event related to the Invictus Games.
Upon their arrival at the Dusseldorf Town Hall, Prince Harry and Meghan were warmly greeted by dignitaries including the town's mayor, Secretary of State Merle, Brigadier Marstaller, and General Loubenthal.
Despite the scorching heat, hundreds of devoted royal fans patiently waited for over two hours, eager to catch a glimpse of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The atmosphere was electrifying as both German and British supporters lined the streets, waving Union Jack flags in anticipation of the royal couple's presence at the Invictus Games 2023 One Year to Go event.
Among the enthusiastic crowd were individuals sporting paper masks resembling the Queen and adorned in royal regalia, all hoping to snag a selfie with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
While many displayed genuine admiration for the royal duo, some attendees confessed to being drawn by the spectacle surrounding the couple, likening them to beloved soap opera stars.
Notably, former serviceman Bob Clark and his wife Lily made a grand entrance, with Bob donning an ermine robe, crown, and a mask resembling the Queen, while Lily proudly displayed memorabilia celebrating Harry and Meghan's union.
Expressing their unwavering support for the monarchy, the couple traveled from Duisburg to witness the royal visit, despite Harry and Meghan's decision to step back from their senior royal roles in early 2020.
Bob emphasized, “We are both huge fans of the Queen and the royal family.
It will be great to see Harry and Meghan.”
As Meghan graciously acknowledged the fans' excitement by waving to the crowd, onlookers eagerly captured the moment on their mobile phones, with over 500 people eagerly awaiting the couple's arrival outside the Town Hall.
While some attendees acknowledged past criticisms directed at the royal family, such as Elisa, 24, who admitted, “I know they have been rude about the royal family, but I have read so much about them I wanted to see them myself,” others like Melina, 26, viewed the royals as captivating figures in an ongoing saga.
Security measures were notably tight around the red carpet leading to the Town Hall, with local security teams and a minimal police presence ensuring a smooth reception for Harry and Meghan.
Dressed in a chic £245 cream knitted vest from Anine Bing and coordinating trousers, Meghan exuded elegance beside Harry, who opted for a sleek grey suit.
The couple's visit to Germany involved meticulous planning, with police arrangements facilitating their seamless travel and security protocols.
Following their engagements in Dusseldorf, the pair is scheduled to meet with officials and potential Invictus Games participants before embarking on a boat ride along the picturesque Rhine River towards the Merkerspiel Arena for a press conference helmed by Prince Harry.
As the day unfolded, the city officials spared no effort in preparing for the royal guests, rolling out the red carpet and ensuring every detail was immaculate for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Despite the public interest in their visit, authorities emphasized the private nature of the couple's trip, underscoring that their personal security team would oversee their protection, with all expenses covered by Prince Harry and Meghan.
