“Mourners Refuse to Shake Hands with Meghan Markle at Queen’s Funeral”
Megan Markle faced humiliation at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II as some mourners refused to shake her hand.
The awkward spectacle played out on camera, revealing that not all royal fans were thrilled to meet her.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had a bumpy ride as they re-entered the royal fold to publicly mourn the passing of the Queen.
It was a surprising return to royal duties for Meghan and Harry, who famously quit the royal family more than two years ago.
They fled to America for a brand new life and a series of tell-all interviews in which they publicly called out the firm, claiming they were offered little support and even faced racism from within the royal family.
In a show of unity, Meghan and Harry joined with Prince William and wife Kate to meet mourners outside of Windsor Castle.

However, it appears that at least one monarchist held a grudge against Meghan.
As the Duchess of Sussex made her way along the throngs of mourners, shaking each outstretched hand, one woman could be seen dropping her head, avoiding Meghan's gaze.
After Meghan had passed, the woman then looked up at the person next to her with a smirk, shaking her head and laughing.
Others around her appeared to give the Duchess the cold shoulder, not reaching their hands out for a greeting.
Another woman could be seen putting her sunglasses on as she came face to face with Meghan.
The footage of these awkward moments spread like wildfire on social media, sparking debates about the behavior of the mourners.
Some found it amusing and praised the women for their lack of warmth towards Meghan, while others found it disrespectful and pathetic.
With the eyes of the world on the Royal Family, it was one of a few unscripted moments taking off on social media this weekend.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal future seems to be of interest.
As per the evening standard, no major title changes are in store for the Sussexes, even as Prince Harry's father Charles is now the monarch and will be referred to as King Charles III.
As King Charles' son, Prince Harry's titles remain unchanged, although his brother Prince William is now a Duke of Cornwall in addition to his previous title of Duke of Cambridge.
Prince Harry has, however, moved up the line of succession and is now fifth in line to the throne.
More major changes are predicted for Prince Harry's children though, especially as they are now the grandchildren of the reigning monarch.
While Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana were not born entitled to the title of a prince and princess, they are now entitled to the titles as their grandfather Charles is now the king.
It remains unknown at the time whether Prince Harry and Meghan's kids will ever use their official prince and princess titles or forego them.
The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II was not without its awkward moments.
Another unscripted moment took place when the new King, Charles III, was caught on camera venting his frustrations that his table had not been adequately cleared as he took his seat to sign the oath for his accession ceremony.
However, it seems that Meghan Markle's humiliation at the hands of some mourners stole the show.
The incident highlights that not everyone is ready to move on from the controversies surrounding Meghan and Harry's departure from the royal family.
