Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Booed in Germany: Fans Claim

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been at the center of yet another controversy as fans claim they were booed during an event in Germany.

A video of the couple being booed has been circulating online, although the authenticity of the video has not been independently confirmed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at the Dusseldorf Rathaus, Town Hall, for an Invictus Games event where they were greeted by the town's mayor, Secretary of State Merle, Brigadier Marstaller, and General Loubenthal.

Hundreds of royal fans had stood for over two hours in the stifling heat hoping to take a selfie with the couple.

Hordes of Germans and Brits queued alongside metal barriers while waving Union Jacks as the couple arrived for the Invictus Games 2023 One Year to Go event.

Most seemed genuine fans as they donned paper masks of the Queen and Royal regalia as they attempted to usher the couple over for a quick picture and a chat.

However, others admitted they were attracted by the circus that follows the pair, with one young woman saying she found them rude to the Royal family but wanted to see them because they are like soap stars.

Among the crowds were former serviceman Bob Clark and his wife Lily who were dressed for the occasion.

Clark wore an ermine robe, crown, and a mask of the Queen covering his face.

His wife clutched a bag celebrating the marriage of Harry and Meghan and wore a Union Jack coat and hat.

The couple traveled from their home in Duisburg to show their support for the Royal family, even though California-based Harry and Meghan are no longer working members of the so-called firm after stepping down as senior royals in January 2020, in a move dubbed Megxit.

Despite the excitement surrounding the couple's arrival, some fans reportedly booed them.

The video of the incident has been making rounds on social media, although its authenticity is yet to be confirmed.

Meghan waved to fans as they wheeled their mobile phones to record the moment they met with the Duchess outside Dusseldorf Town Hall on Tuesday.

More than 500 people stood behind metal barriers outside the entrance to the Town Hall.

Some had taken their place at the front three hours before the planned arrival of the couple.

Elisa, 24, said, “I know they have been rude about the Royal family, but I have read so much about them I wanted to see them myself.”

And her friend Melina, 26, said, “They have become a soap opera, but I find anything about the Queen and Royal family interesting.”

Locally hired security teams were out in force around the red carpet leading to the Town Hall.

Only two uniformed police officers were visible prior to the couple's arrival as they stood at the edge of the crowd.

Meghan, wearing a £245 cream knitted vest from trendy LA label Anine Bing and matching trousers, and Harry, in a grey suit, flew into Germany this morning where police closed junctions and set up miles of roadblocks so they and their entourage, including a personal doctor, could avoid traffic jams.

The pair are meeting officials and potential competitors in the city on Tuesday.

They will be taken by boat along the Rhine River from the reception to the Merkerspiel Arena for a press conference at which Harry will deliver remarks.

The £13m MS Rhine Galaxy was seen docked along the river on Tuesday morning.

City officials also rolled out the red carpet, and even hoovered it, but insist the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex is private and they will be protected by their own security team with the couple footing the bill.

Despite the mixed reactions from fans, the couple continues to make headlines wherever they go.
