What was meant to be a wholesome family-friendly concert took a dramatic turn when Meghan Markle and Prince Harry became the center of controversy—again.
Attending a live outdoor music event in Los Angeles known for attracting families with young children, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex quickly stole the spotlight—not for their royal charm, but for behavior some attendees labeled “inappropriate,” “overly intimate,” and “out of touch.”
🎶 Too Much PDA at a Kids’ Concert?
The event, held in Griffith Park and headlined by popular teen-friendly acts, was meant to be a relaxed evening of music, food, and community. Meghan and Harry were spotted arriving in casual chic attire and were welcomed warmly by fans—at first.
But soon after settling into their VIP seating area, cameras caught the couple engaging in unusually intense public displays of affection. From passionate kissing during ballads to Meghan reportedly sitting on Harry’s lap for an entire set, some parents in the crowd grew visibly uncomfortable.
“I brought my 8-year-old to see her favorite band, not to explain adult affection on that level,” said one mother, adding that she moved her family further back in the venue.

Critics slammed the couple as tone-deaf, accusing them of hijacking a family event for a personal spectacle.
“They say they left the Royal Family for privacy. Yet here they are making out in front of dozens of kids. It’s performative and embarrassing,” wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter).
Others argued that Meghan and Harry were simply expressing love in a natural way—and being unfairly judged.
“They’re married. They love each other. That’s beautiful,” countered one supporter. “People just love to hate Meghan no matter what she does.”
Some even praised the couple’s display as a much-needed reminder that “royals can be human, too.”
🧸 Children in the Crowd Raise the Stakes
The presence of young children made the situation more controversial. One video, now viral, shows a little girl asking her mother: “Why is that lady sitting on him like that?”—a moment many called “uncomfortable” and “inappropriate for the setting.”
Event organizers have since issued a neutral statement:
“We welcome families from all backgrounds and expect all attendees to behave respectfully. We have no further comment.”
🔥 Royal Romance or Public Spectacle?
This isn’t the first time Meghan and Harry have blurred the lines between private affection and public performance. But doing so at a child-centric event may have finally pushed the line for many.
Whether it was a moment of unfiltered love or poor judgment, one thing is certain: The Sussexes continue to spark heated debate wherever they go.
In the end, what some call passion, others call provocation—and the royal love story remains as divisive as ever.
