Meghan Markle Skips Poppy at Hollywood Bash, Leaving Harry Uncomfortable
Prince Harry found himself in an awkward situation when Meghan Markle attended Kris Jenner’s glamorous James Bond-themed 70th birthday party without wearing the traditional Remembrance Day poppy. The event, packed with Hollywood A-listers, drew plenty of attention—not just for the glitz and glamour, but for Meghan’s noticeable absence of the iconic red poppy, a symbol that honors military veterans and those who have fallen in service.
According to reports, Harry felt “frustrated and uncomfortable” as he watched Meghan mingle at the star-studded party. For someone who has served in the military and remains passionate about remembrance, Harry’s embarrassment is understandable. The poppy holds deep significance in British culture, especially for the Royal Family, who never miss a chance to pay their respects on Remembrance Day.
Hollywood Parties vs. Royal Traditions
It’s not the first time the Sussexes have faced criticism for blending royal traditions with their new Hollywood lifestyle. Meghan’s choice to skip the poppy might seem like a small thing in LA, but it speaks volumes back in the UK. Who knew a tiny red flower could cause such a royal ruffle at a Hollywood party?
