**Meghan Markle’s Awkward Moments at Polo Event with Prince Harry**
Meghan Markle found herself in an awkward situation at a recent polo event with Prince Harry when she tried to grab a trophy from one of Harry's fellow players.
The incident, captured by royal fans, unfolded as Prince Harry celebrated a victory with his teammates in California.
During the trophy presentation, Meghan, 40, was seen attempting to take a small trophy from one of Harry's polo pals, but he resisted her efforts.
As Prince Harry and another teammate hoisted a larger trophy overhead, Meghan stood by applauding, trying to position herself for visibility.
A TikTok user shared a clip of the moment, captioning it as “Meghan forces her way into polo team to accept trophy.”
Observers noted how the players seemed unsure of where to place Meghan, eventually blocking her with the trophy as they posed for photos.
In another cringe-worthy moment, Meghan was seen wiping bright red lipstick off Prince Harry after giving him a kiss to congratulate him on the win.
The Duchess, sporting a large black sun hat, greeted each player with kisses on the cheek before planting one on Harry's lips.
Social media buzzed with comments about Meghan's actions, with some questioning her behavior and others pointing out the lack of inclusion of other wives or partners during the ceremony.
Viewers found the scene uncomfortable as Meghan remained at the center stage while the polo team players raised the trophy above her head for a photo-op.
Prince Harry, who recently joined the Los Padres polo team for the season, and Meghan attended the charity match to support various causes.
Meghan, dressed in white summer shorts and a polka dot blouse, matched Harry's traditional white shorts attire for the game.
Their children, Archie and Lilibet, were absent, likely due to the scorching weather.
Amidst the event, speculations arose about Harry's upcoming memoir, for which he reportedly received a £15m advance.
The memoir promises to delve into the highs and lows of his extraordinary life, raising uncertainty about its release date.
Meanwhile, Meghan's father faced health issues, suffering a massive stroke just before a planned visit to Britain for the Queen's Jubilee.
