Harry and Meghan’s Epic Humiliation: The “Walk of Shame” at Queen’s Jubilee That Exposed the Dastardly Duo – And Meghan’s Wallis Simpson Cosplay Was Pure Clownery!By Royal Watcher Exclusive | December 14, 2025In one of the most satisfying moments of poetic justice in modern royal history, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle faced a brutal reality check during Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022.
What was meant to be a triumphant return to the UK for the self-exiled couple turned into a public “walk of shame” down the steps of St Paul’s Cathedral – a comeuppance that royal loyalists still savor as the ultimate payback for years of betrayal, whining, and family-bashing.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, after fleeing royal duties in 2020 amid cries of racism and mistreatment, jetted back across the Atlantic for the Queen’s historic 70-year milestone celebrations. But the British public – weary of their endless victim narrative, explosive Oprah interview, and Netflix whinging – wasn’t rolling out the red carpet. As Harry and Meghan descended those iconic cathedral steps after the National Service of Thanksgiving, they were met with a chorus of boos mixed with scattered cheers, a stark reminder that their popularity had plummeted.
Eyewitnesses and reports from the scene described the atmosphere as electric – but not in the Sussexes’ favor. “It was a mix of cheers and boos,” noted royal correspondent Richard Palmer at the time, capturing the divided but undeniably frosty reception. Major outlets like the Daily Mail and The Times of India later dubbed it an “icy homecoming,” with crowds making their displeasure known as the couple hand-in-hand tried to project unity. For a pair who once basked in adoration, this public slap was delicious karma.https://artifacts.grokusercontent.com/third-party-imagepeople.comhttps://artifacts.grokusercontent.com/third-party-imagealamy.comhttps://artifacts.grokusercontent.com/third-party-imageinews.co.ukBut the real jaw-dropper? Meghan’s outfit choice – a head-to-toe white Dior haute couture ensemble that screamed Wallis Simpson cosplay.
The American divorcee who caused King Edward VIII to abdicate in 1936 has long been a controversial figure in royal lore, synonymous with disruption and exile. And here was Meghan, another American divorcee who whisked a prince away from duty, channeling her in a belted white coat dress, wide-brimmed hat, and gloves that mirrored Simpson’s iconic 1950s looks.Fashion experts and royal watchers were quick to call it out. Princess Diana’s wedding dress designer David Emanuel blasted the look, saying Meghan was “channeling Wally Simpson” and quipping it resembled a “nurse’s uniform.” Articles in the Express and beyond ran side-by-side comparisons, declaring Wallis “wore it better” while accusing Meghan of deliberate provocation.
Was it coincidence? Hardly. This was next-level clownery – sashaying into a thanksgiving service for the Queen dressed as the woman who nearly destroyed the monarchy.https://artifacts.grokusercontent.com/third-party-imagebusinessinsider.comhttps://artifacts.grokusercontent.com/third-party-imagevogue.co.ukThe parallels between Meghan and Wallis have been drawn repeatedly: both American, both divorced, both accused of manipulating princes into exile.
But while Wallis navigated her scandal with a certain icy elegance, Meghan’s version came with tabloid-baiting interviews and Montecito mansion moans. At the Jubilee, seated in the second row far from the senior royals (a deliberate snub to avoid drama), the Sussexes were sidelined – no balcony appearance, no prime spots. Harry, once the nation’s darling, looked up at the cathedral dome as if realizing his fall from grace.
This moment crystallized the public’s turning point. Pre-Megxit, Harry topped favorite royal polls. Post-Oprah and Spare, he’s booed on home soil. The boos at St Paul’s weren’t just noise – they were the sound of a nation saying “enough” to the dastardly duo’s grievances.
Three years on, with the Sussexes’ Hollywood ventures fizzling and royal bridges burned, that Jubilee “walk of shame” remains a highlight of sweet retribution. Meghan’s Wallis wannabe strut? Pure, unadulterated clownery that backfired spectacularly. Karma, as they say, is a Queen – and she served it cold.
