Duchess receives praise during solo Broadway outing as Duke’s security battle intensifies
Meghan Markle has been praised for her warmth and generosity during a surprise solo appearance in New York, just as Prince Harry’s latest comments reignited tensions with the royal family over his UK security battle.
While the Duke of Sussex made headlines for calling his treatment “unjustified” and “exhausting,” Meghan quietly attended a performance of the Broadway musical Gypsy in Manhattan, where she was warmly received by the cast and crew backstage.
According to People magazine, Meghan charmed the performers with hugs and heartfelt praise. “She made her way around the room, greeted everyone and was just very smiley and nice,” a source said. She reportedly gushed over the production, particularly applauding actress Audra McDonald for her standout performance.
“The company were all so happy to have her there and appreciative of her support,” the insider added. Meghan was described as “generous” with her time and deeply engaged with the performers.
Her glowing appearance came just days after Harry’s emotional comments about feeling “overwhelmed” by his ongoing legal fight over security. He claimed the royal family had deliberately limited his protection to pressure him and Meghan to return to royal duties.
While Harry’s remarks stirred fresh controversy, Meghan’s quiet display of kindness earned her a wave of admiration — offering a sharp contrast in tone as the couple continues to navigate their roles outside the royal fold.
