Rose Matifeo’s Awkward Encounter with Meghan Markle at Royal Variety Show

Rose Matifeo, the talented comedian, recently shared a humorous yet awkward exchange she had with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry during the Royal Variety Show.

This encounter took place after Rose won the prestigious Best Act award at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards in 2018.

During her performance at the Royal Variety Performance, Rose attempted to deliver a joke that didn't quite hit the mark.

Despite her success at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards, the comedian faced challenges when trying to entertain the royal audience at the London Palladium.

In a candid discussion on Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett's The Dish podcast, Rose revealed that her attempt at humor, particularly a Christmas joke, did not resonate well with the attendees.

She humorously mentioned that while she intended for the joke to lighten the mood, the irony seemed to have been lost on many present at the event.

Reflecting on the incident, Rose shared that despite the joke falling flat, Meghan Markle made an effort to ease the situation.

Rose humorously recalled Meghan's attempt to diffuse the tension by comparing it to slipping on a hoverboard.

Meghan, in a light-hearted manner, expressed her pride, leaving Rose pondering whether she should be willing to sacrifice herself for the royal family.

Despite the awkward exchange, Rose Matifeo remained resilient and continued to pursue her passion for comedy.

She highlighted how winning the Edinburgh Comedy Awards not only provided her with opportunities like performing at the Royal Court but also offered her the necessary support to create the TV romantic comedy “Star Struck”.

The incident with Meghan Markle served as a learning experience for Rose, emphasizing the importance of adapting to different audiences and refining her comedic craft.
