Cameraman’s Controversial Remarks on Meghan Markle’s Pregnancy Belly Sparks Outrage
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle embarked on their final official trip abroad before the arrival of their first child, scheduled for spring, with a visit to Morocco on February 24th, 2019.
The royal couple engaged in a flurry of official activities during their three-day stay in Morocco, culminating in a formal meeting with King Mohammed VI and his family at a royal residence before heading back to the UK.
The glamorous event saw Meghan donning a striking blue-patterned Carolina Herrera dress, perfectly complemented by Harry's blue suede shoes and grey suit.
However, the tour was not without controversy as an old clip resurfaced, showcasing a moment where a cameraman made disparaging remarks about Meghan's pregnant belly upon her entrance to the royal residence.
In the footage, the cameraman referred to Meghan in a derogatory manner, pointing out an anomaly in her pregnancy belly compared to Harry's position, insinuating that she may have been trying to gain an advantage.
The comment speculated about Meghan's physical abilities while heavily pregnant, suggesting that her movements were unusual and possibly deceptive.
Amidst the scrutiny, Prince Harry faced an awkward moment when questioned about Meghan's pregnancy, humorously asking, “Is it mine?”
while playfully pretending to add a pillow under his shirt.
The lighthearted remark, intended as a joke, was met with criticism for its perceived insensitivity and lack of respect towards Meghan and the pregnancy.
Further footage captured a tense moment as the couple bid farewell in Morocco, with Meghan appearing visibly upset as she initially bypassed Crown Prince Moulay before turning back to address him before departing.
The incident prompted onlookers to comment negatively, with one photographer labeling Meghan as “nasty,” leading to speculation about underlying tensions between the couple.
Meghan, expected to be around 30 weeks pregnant during the trip, is anticipated to give birth to her and Harry's first child between late April and early May.
The timing of their visit to Morocco coincidentally echoes Queen Elizabeth II's tumultuous experience during her own tour of the country in 1980, described as a challenging journey amidst a larger itinerary across Italy and North Africa.
The controversial remarks and interactions during Harry and Meghan's Moroccan visit have stirred debate and raised questions about the dynamics within the royal couple.
As they prepare to welcome their new addition to the family, the scrutiny and attention surrounding their every move continue to captivate audiences worldwide, offering glimpses into the complexities of royal life and public perception.
