During a recent trip to Colombia, a camera captured a telling moment involving Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, that has sparked widespread discussion and controversy. The footage shows Meghan seemingly pulling her husband Prince Harry's chair closer to her own while he is seen throwing his arm around the back of the event's translator, a woman who was simply doing her job. This incident has reignited the ongoing debate surrounding Meghan's behavior and her perceived influence over her husband. Many have interpreted her actions as a calculated attempt to assert dominance and control over the situation, while Harry's gesture towards the translator has been widely criticized as inappropriate and disrespectful.
According to Royal experts, Meghan's decision to pull Harry's chair closer to her own can be seen as a subtle power play, a way for her to physically and metaphorically position herself as the center of attention. "It's a classic move that we've seen from Meghan before," says Royal commentator Emily Andrews. "She seems to have a knack for inserting herself into situations and making them all about her." The body language experts have also weighed in on the matter, noting that Harry's arm placement around the translator's chair is a clear violation of personal space and professional boundaries. "This is not the kind of behavior we would expect from a member of the royal family," says body language expert Judy James. "It's inappropriate and makes the translator appear uncomfortable and put on the spot."

Some have even gone so far as to suggest that Meghan's actions were a deliberate attempt to distract from the translator's role and shift the focus onto herself and her relationship with Harry. "Meghan knows how to work the cameras," says Royal biographer Penny Junor. "She's always been very savvy about using her image and her relationship with Harry to garner attention." This is not the first time Meghan has been accused of manipulative behavior throughout her time as a member of the royal family. She has faced numerous allegations of trying to control Harry and his public image, from reportedly dictating his wardrobe choices to allegedly influencing his relationships with other family members.
Meghan has been the subject of intense scrutiny and criticism since becoming a senior working royal. "Meghan has a history of trying to insert herself into situations where she's not the main focus," says Royal historian Robert Lacy. "She seems to have a need to be the center of attention and she's not afraid to use her relationship with Harry to achieve that." This latest incident in Colombia has only added fuel to the fire, with many Royal watchers and commentators expressing their concern over Meghan's apparent disregard for professional boundaries and her apparent desire to control the narrative.

What the footage showed, according to experts, was a clear violation of the translator's personal space and a blatant attempt by Meghan to draw attention to herself. “It’s the kind of behavior that has earned Meghan a reputation for being difficult and demanding,” says Royal correspondent Camilla Tomine. Her actions during the event in Colombia have further damaged her already strained relationship with the public. While performing their royal duties, members of the family are expected to conduct themselves professionally and respect boundaries. Meghan’s behavior, especially her physical placement of Harry’s chair, appeared calculated to assert her dominance at the event and have the focus placed on the couple rather than allowing the translator to do her job without interference.

Meghan’s supporters argue that she was merely interacting naturally with her husband in a public setting. However, the translator’s role was crucial for effective communication, and Meghan’s actions took attention away from that. Moreover, it fits a pattern some see of Meghan manipulating situations and people to keep herself at the center of attention. Whether intentional or not, the footage reinforced existing criticisms of Meghan’s approach and influence over Harry. As public figures, even subtle gestures and interactions are intensely scrutinized. This incident suggests Meghan has yet to fully understand—or accept—the expectations of her royal position and the boundaries that must be observed. It remains to be seen if she can balance her personality and relationship with the need to conduct herself with appropriate discretion for a senior working royal.
