You’re Never Gonna Believe This! Meghan Markle Caught Filming HERSELF While Everyone Else Honors the Troops – This 2014 USO Clip Will Make Your Blood Boil By Daily Scoop Reporter | December 25, 2025In a shocking throwback video that’s resurfacing just in time for the holidays, former Suits actress Meghan Markle – now the Duchess of Sussex – is seen prioritizing her own camera time over the brave men and women serving our country.
During the 2014 Chairman’s USO Holiday Tour, while troops and fellow celebrities focused on boosting morale for American service members stationed overseas, Meghan was busy filming herself. Yes, you read that right – in moments meant to honor our heroes, she turned the spotlight squarely on her own face.
This cringeworthy clip has fans and critics alike saying: “She makes me sick!”The video, originally shared by the USO and now going viral on social media, captures the group of entertainers – including country star Kellie Pickler, Glee actress Dianna Agron, comedian Rob Riggle, and sports legends like Brian Urlacher and Doug Fister – performing and interacting with troops across five countries: Spain, Italy, Turkey, Afghanistan, and the UK. Led by then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the tour was all about bringing holiday cheer to thousands of deployed service members far from home.
But in one particularly awkward segment, as the group sings “White Christmas” on stage at RAF Mildenhall in England, Meghan appears detached, awkwardly swaying while others harmonize and engage with the audience. Eye-witness accounts from the time and recent Reddit discussions paint a picture of Meghan acting like a “tourist,” snapping photos and selfies instead of fully immersing in the mission of supporting the troops.One resurfaced photo shows Meghan taking a selfie with an airman in Turkey, while another captures her posing for a group selfie with soldiers in Afghanistan – all while comedian Rob Riggle looks on. Critics are slamming her for turning a selfless USO tradition into a personal photo op. “Everyone else is filming the troops or performing for them, but Meghan?
She’s got the camera flipped on herself,” one viral tweet rages. “This was supposed to be about the heroes in uniform, not her Instagram feed!”Meghan, who was a relatively unknown actress at the time starring on Suits, joined the high-profile tour as a first-timer. She later quoted herself saying, “I have always had such a profound respect for our nation’s troops and military families.” But actions speak louder than words, and this footage tells a different story. While Kellie Pickler belted out tunes and Dianna Agron signed autographs for “Gleeks” in uniform, Meghan seemed more focused on capturing content for her then-blog, The Tig, or her social media.Fast-forward to today, and this old clip is fueling fresh outrage amid Meghan’s ongoing attempts to rebrand herself as a humanitarian.
Sources close to royal watchers say this behavior was a red flag from the start – a pattern of self-promotion that’s only intensified since marrying Prince Harry. Remember her Netflix docuseries filled with personal footage? Or the endless paparazzi walks that somehow always catch her in perfect light? It all traces back to moments like this USO tour, where even amid genuine heroism, she couldn’t resist making it about her.Reddit’s r/SaintMeghanMarkle community – a hub for unfiltered opinions on the Duchess – is exploding with threads dissecting the video.
One popular post calls it “yet another super awkward video clip,” noting how other celebrities ignored her on stage, as if she demanded center spot without earning it. “She behaved very awkwardly… focused more on status and taking photos like a tourist than supporting the troops,” reads one highly upvoted comment.
Defenders might argue that taking selfies with troops is common on these tours – after all, service members love mementos with celebrities. But the consensus online is clear: While others posed with the troops, Meghan’s flips and solo shots scream narcissism.
In Afghanistan, no less – one of the most dangerous deployments at the time – she allegedly prioritized her own documentation over the gravity of the moment.This isn’t the first time Meghan’s past has come back to haunt her. Throwback photos from the tour, which she proudly shared on Sussex Royal Instagram in 2019 for Veterans Day, now look ironic in light of the full video. Back then, she posed with a USO flag and beamed alongside the group, captioning it with praise for the military. But viewers now see the cracks: the forced smiles, the detached vibe, the constant phone in hand.
As Americans celebrate Christmas and reflect on those serving abroad, this video serves as a stark reminder: True support for our troops means putting them first – not using their sacrifice as a backdrop for personal fame. Meghan’s 2014 antics? Utterly tone-deaf. No wonder so many are left feeling nauseated.
What do you think? Is this just harmless celebrity behavior, or proof of a deeper self-obsession? Sound off in the comments – this one’s too juicy to ignore!
