Sussex Reunites with Prince and Princess of Wales at Windsor Castle Walkabout
Sussex and Wales royalty made a rare joint appearance at Windsor Castle, marking the first time in two years that the two couples were seen together.
Insider sources revealed that Meghan and Harry had coordinated with Netflix to document their walkabout.
The couple had arranged for individuals in the crowd to cheer and present them with flowers, with Meghan planning to lay the flowers at a memorial while being filmed.
However, the royal family discovered this plan and promptly banned Netflix from the event.
Despite the ban, eagle-eyed observers could spot one of Netflix's cameramen discreetly filming the proceedings, capturing moments featuring Jezebel.
Meghan was adamant about placing the flowers herself to ensure the perfect shot, refusing assistance from aides.
Prince William intervened by insisting that the Sussexes accompany him and Princess Catherine, or not attend the event at all.
According to a report by News.com.au, the Sussexes and Waleses were expected to arrive at 4:30 pm but were notably delayed, finally making their appearance at 5:15 pm.
Royal expert Daisy McAndrew suggested that Meghan was the cause of the delay, as she requested time for hair and makeup before embarking on the walkabout at Windsor to engage with the crowd and pay respects at the floral tribute.
McAndrew further speculated that Prince William's invitation to the Sussexes might have been a last-minute decision.
Contrary to rumors suggesting otherwise, a woman named Isabel Charters, who interacted with Meghan during a Windsor walkabout following the Queen's passing, denied any allegations of being paid to be present or part of a PR stunt.
Charters clarified that her encounter with Meghan, alongside 14-year-old Amelka Zak who hugged the Duchess, was entirely coincidental.
The unexpected visit from the Sussexes garnered widespread attention, particularly the heartwarming exchange between Meghan and young Amelka.
Amidst the walkabout, speculations arose regarding Meghan Markle sporting a square-shaped crease in her outfit, leading some to speculate about the presence of a hidden microphone.
Photos circulating online depicted the alleged crease resembling a microphone, fueling theories about Meghan recording the reunion for a potential documentary.
Critics of the Sussexes speculated that Meghan's attire concealed a secret microphone, insinuating ulterior motives behind her actions.
Body language expert Judy James weighed in on Meghan Markle's demeanor during the walkabout, noting signs of anxiety in her behavior.
James observed Meghan's tentative and uncertain gestures, particularly in how she fidgeted with her hair.
The expert highlighted Meghan's cautious approach, evident in her delayed movements compared to Catherine and William.
Meghan appeared to seek cues from Prince William, who eventually guided her forward to greet their host, showcasing a moment of vulnerability amidst the public appearance.
