Meghan Markle had her British Royal Family return over the weekend – joining the “Fab Four” to meet and greet mourners who gathered following Queen Elizabeth’s death last week.

The former actress was seen with her husband Prince Harry and his brother Prince William and his respective wife Princess Kate, as they walked the streets outside Windsor Castle on Saturday 10 September.

But Meghan – whose children Archie and Lilibet, who have now been given titles of “Prince” and “Princess” respectively following King Charles’s official ascension to the throne – was met with mixed reactions from the crowd.

MEGHAN SNUBBED BY ROYAL FANS 

In clips that went viral on social media, Meghan Markle is seen approaching crowds of royal fans – a few of which snubbed the chance to shake her hand.

A few females were even seen giving her scowls and turning their heads away!

Despite the snub, Meghan continued to greet fans who struck up conversations with her.

And Twitter users had mixed reactions to the frosty one-sided exchange.

@oga_bakz: “They haven’t done anything wrong to be fair, no one is forced to shake hands”

@Asosseungwoo: “The expression on her face was so gross. A whole middle-aged woman acting like a petty teenage girl”

@gailendavid: “Yet people still want to blame her? She’s there putting up with this rudeness for her husband – what a woman!”

@AnthonyHatcher2: “This just shows that racism has no bounds no matter what happens even in death”

In another clip that went viral, a 14-year-old girl shared her experience of how her conversation with the royal went down

Speaking to CNN, she said: ‘That was quite an amazing moment. I’m shaking now

I can’t really explain the feeling when she did it, but it was really nice”.

When asked why she wanted to hug Meghan, the young girl added: “I felt that I needed to.

“I wanted to show her that she is welcome here after everything that has happened”.
