Royal Rumble: Meghan Markle’s Indian Curry Controversy
In a recent visit to Vancouver, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry found themselves in the spotlight for more than just their royal status.
The couple was in town to celebrate the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games, but it seems their pit stop at VG's, a popular Indian restaurant, has stirred up quite a bit of drama among the staff.
Vikram VG, the owner of the restaurant, shared some insights with CTV News about the couple's dining experience, revealing that Meghan and Harry had very different tastes when it came to spice.
Meghan boldly ordered the spiciest dish on the menu, even requesting extra chilies and spicy pickles to kick things up a notch.
According to Mr. VG, she seemed to relish the heat, while Harry struggled a bit more with the intense flavors.
Harry lightened the mood by joking about his ginger hair, saying, “Do you know I'm a ginger?
When I eat spicy food, I go red.” This playful comment did little to mask the tension that followed, as it appears Meghan wasn't quite as pleased with her meal.
After tasting the lamb curry, she reportedly expressed her dissatisfaction directly to the chef, leaving an awkward atmosphere in her wake.
One of the waitstaff took to Instagram to document the couple's visit, sharing a moment where Harry engaged with the kitchen staff.
He enthusiastically asked, “Who made the lamb curry?” prompting a flurry of starstruck responses from the chefs.
However, the joy of the moment quickly faded when Meghan vented her frustrations, which left Harry feeling embarrassed.
Critics have pointed out that while it's common for diners to express their preferences, Meghan's approach lacked tact.
A source close to the situation remarked, “It's normal to have different tastes, but feedback can be delivered gently instead of being rude.” This incident comes on the heels of another viral moment that sparked controversy around Meghan's behavior.
A recent clip showed Meghan interacting with an Invictus participant, and many viewers noted her discomfort.
Observers commented on her body language—fiddling with her hair and failing to re-engage when the woman attempted to converse.
It was as if Meghan was in her own world, with others merely existing as background figures to her narrative.
The video showcased her apparent struggle to connect, further fueling speculation about her demeanor.
Some suggested that her reactions were telling, revealing a deeper unease when faced with genuine interactions.
Critics noted her tendency to seek attention, often performing gestures that seemed aimed at keeping the spotlight on her.
As the footage circulated online, many began to analyze her behavior, pointing out how her actions suggested a fear of being overlooked.
This constant need for validation, coupled with her royal status, has led to a perception that she is uncomfortable in more relatable settings.
The incident at VG's restaurant has only added fuel to the fire surrounding Meghan's public image.
Many are left wondering whether this latest episode will affect her standing with the public, especially as she continues to navigate her roles as a royal and a celebrity.
