In a shocking public relations nightmare that left Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visibly stunned, the royal couple was loudly booed by the crowd during their high-profile appearance at the 2025 World Series game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, known for their polarizing public image, faced an unprecedented wave of rejection from sports fans in the stadium who showed no love for the royal duo.
Harry and Meghan, seated front and center in prime seats worth thousands, were greeted not with cheers but with audible boos the moment their faces flashed on the stadium Jumbotron. Videos captured the moment where Meghan covered her face while Harry awkwardly smiled amid the jeers, clearly shaken by the crowd’s hostile reception.
The boos were fueled by a mix of royal critics and disgruntled sports fans who appeared to blame the couple for everything from the Dodgers' loss to broader frustrations with the Sussexes’ relentless media presence. Social media erupted with mockery, some blaming the couple for “cursing” the team, using hashtags like #MarkledDodgers and #RoyalsBooed to express their disdain.
The tension was palpable as even NBA legend Magic Johnson and baseball icon Sandy Koufax, seated near the couple, were caught in the uncomfortable aftermath of the crowd’s disapproval. Insiders reveal that the Royals’ attempt to blend into the sports world backfired spectacularly, exposing their challenging standing even away from Buckingham Palace.
Royal commentators suggest this incident highlights Harry and Meghan’s continued struggle to win over public affection in North America, where their combination of royal privilege and celebrity antics often alienates more than endears.
Despite the hostile reception, sources say Harry and Meghan remained composed, determined to maintain their public image, although some close friends admit the evening was “a tough pill to swallow.”
This World Series booing scandal adds to a series of public setbacks for the Sussexes, raising questions about their future roles in royal and celebrity spheres.
Stay tuned for exclusive updates on the fallout from this humiliating event and what it might mean for Harry and Meghan’s public relations strategy moving forward.
