Fans claim Harry ‘ignored’ Meghan during ‘awkward’ moment at baseball game

Meghan was left looking a little awkward as husband Harry appeared to ignore her at a baseball game in London on Saturday. 

The Duchess of Sussex, 37, made a surprise appearance when she joined the Duke, 34, to watch the New York Yankees take on the Boston Red Sox as the capital hosted its first Major League game.

But as the new parents to Archie watched on, camera footage appeared to show Harry turn to a friend, just as Meghan sparked up a conversation. 

And it didn’t go amiss with eagle-eyed fans who took to social media after picking up on the awkward rejection.

‘Is it my imagination or is Harry ignoring her?’, wrote one, while another commented: ‘He does this a lot’

Others who picked up on the encounter suggested it wasn’t the first time she has been ignored.

‘The look on her face as she turns around after being completely ignored was priceless,’ commented one, while another said: 

‘Someone needs to made of video of all of the times she got ignored. The seconds she notice it are priceless.’
