The Duchess of Sussex was caught in an awkward moment as she joined Prince Harry on stage at a polo event on Sunday.
Meghan Markle, 40, was on hand to present Prince Harry, 37, and his team, Los Padres, with a trophy after they won an event at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club.
But the prize-giving had clearly not been rehearsed and Meghan ended up being squashed between Harry and one of his teenage teammates as they struggled to lift the heavy cup over her head for a photo.
After a few seconds in the shadows at the back of the stage, Meghan stepped to the front of the stage for her moment in the spotlight.
Footage of the encounter was shared online by a Twitter user who noted it looked like they 'didn't know where to put her' and then ended up 'blocking her with the trophy'.
Harry's team, which is captained by his friend Nacho Figueras, dubbed the 'David Beckham of polo', took home the Lisle Nixon Memorial trophy at the star-studded event, which was open to the public and attracted stars including Rebel Wilson and Meghan's actress BFF Abigail Spencer.
Meghan, who wore a black wide brim hat, polka dot blouse and £670 high-rise pleated shorts, was on hand to present the prize and pecked each team member on the cheek - before planting a kiss on her husband's mouth.
