Meghan Markle is once again making headlines with a viral incident; this time, she’s getting slammed for the dance moves she brought out during a star-studded gala.
The Duchess of Sussex is currently facing a new wave of criticism and online jabs after she was filmed doing some dancing at the David Foster Foundation 40th Anniversary Celebration in Canada on Friday, August 7th. After an attendee posted a short clip of her swaying while listening to one of the live music acts, the video was quickly screengrabbed and shared on other social media platforms, leading to numerous users poking fun at the As Ever founder. It’s considered a rare moment where she’s actually seen dancing, and over the last week, her moves have not been getting positive feedback. Read more about the viral clip below.

Meghan Markle Videotaped Dancing During David Foster Foundation Gala
There are a lot of things the Suits actress has done or said that have gone viral and gained attention from social media users, but one recent video of her is turning heads on a whole other level.
She and her husband, Prince Harry, made a notable public appearance when they attended the David Foster Foundation’s 40th-anniversary gala in Victoria, British Columbia, a little over a week ago. The couple joined David Foster and his wife, singer Katharine McPhee, for the star-studded event, which celebrated four decades of the music producer’s foundation, which supports Canadian families with children in need of organ transplants.
During the evening, the controversial couple appeared to be enjoying themselves as they socialized with guests and watched performances from the event’s musical acts. At one point, another attendee who sat behind Meghan pulled out her phone and captured her dancing along to a live performance from Adam Levine, filming her standing near her table and swaying and moving to the music as the popular band performed. In the clip, Harry could be seen sitting at the table, not dancing around with her. The attendee shared the footage of the mom-of-two on their Instagram story, which was subsequently screen-recorded and began making its way around social media.
The video added another viral moment to the couple’s gala appearance, which had already generated online discussion after separate footage appeared to show tension between Foster, the event’s host, and Meghan on the red carpet. However, he later pushed back on those claims, explaining that the viral footage had been misinterpreted.

After the brief clip of the former actress was shared on social media platforms, from Instagram to X, it didn't take long for users to start chiming in.

Though she and her famous husband have been making more and more public appearances, seeing this video of her letting a little loose at the prestigious event was a rare instance for those who've been keeping up with their careers. While some fans cheered her on and were happy to see her having a good time, there were seemingly many more users who made fun of her in comment sections. Some users criticized her moves in general, deeming them "inappropriate" and "cringe," as well as writing that she doesn't have 'rhythm,' while others pointed out that Harry didn't seem too happy with her dancing, seemingly looking embarrassed.
Â
"Inappropriate as ever," responded an X user.

"Standard attention-getting tactics," wrote another.
Â
"He always looks so embarrassed to be seen with her," commented one user about the prince.

One user joked that the California native was "born without rhythm," as another added that she "had a lot of cringe moments at that event."
