Meghan Markle’s video of her celebrating the Los Angeles Dodgers’ World Series win on Saturday night is being blasted as “fake” and “irritating.”
In the black-and-white Instagram Story, Markle — dressed in all black — shrieked in delight, then ran over to her husband, Prince Harry, who was sitting on a reclining chair with his feet up. After bending down to give him a hug and a kiss, she continued to jump up and down with her close friend, Kelly McKee Zajfen, in excitement.
“Oh my God,” the mother of two squealed, as Harry chuckled at her antics.

Some social media users were not amused, however, as they criticized her reaction.
“This is irritating to see. Fake AF,” a comment on X said. “Of course it was NOT staged because, you know, the camera was perfectly positioned to capture everyone. Oh my gosh! Look how happy we are and so into each other. See, we have a friend and it’s not my bottle of wine.”
“This is peak level cringe,” another post said. “Imagine a former Royal Prince Harry has been reduced to a being an unpaid ‘extra’ in his wife’s deluded fantasy world.”

Another user accused Markle of being disingenuous, writing, “Looks so fake.”
Meanwhile, Zajifen provided an explanation on why Harry looked so unamused in the video, revealing that he was actually rooting for the Toronto Blue Jays — despite him wearing a Dodgers hat when he and Markle attended Game 4 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium.
“Sorry H your team didn’t win but mine diiiiiiiiid. @dodgers I LOVE YOU!!!!,” Zajifen wrote in her own Instagram Story.

Markle and Harry received a less than warm welcome at Dodger Stadium, as they were loudly booed when they appeared on the Jumbotron.
Some fans were also outraged at them having better seats at the game than sports legends that were present. Markle, 44, and Harry, 41, were seated in the front row, ahead of Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson and former Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax.
“Seating them in front of Sandy Koufax seems inappropriate for the occasion. Also, as part of Canada’s royal family, shouldn’t Prince Harry be sporting a Blue Jays cap?” one comment on X read.
