Meghan Markle recently offered her followers a peek into her jubilant celebration following the Los Angeles Dodgers’ triumphant victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, clinching the World Series title on Saturday night. Nevertheless, some fans have voiced skepticism, suggesting that the scenes appeared orchestrated.

The Duchess of Sussex, now 44, took to Instagram Stories to capture the exhilarating moment her hometown Dodgers secured the Major League Baseball championship against the Canadian team. As the game reached its thrilling conclusion, Meghan was seen jumping and shouting with joy alongside her close friend, Kelly McKee Zajfen.

In the midst of the excitement, Meghan shared a tender moment with her husband, Prince Harry, who appeared less enthused, likely due to his team’s loss. The intimate gathering took place in a home cinema equipped with plush recliners, believed to be part of the Sussexes’ luxurious $14 million Montecito residence.

However, not all viewers were convinced by the authenticity of the celebration. Some critics questioned the seemingly spontaneous appearance of a camera perfectly positioned to capture the festivities. Others expressed disappointment, urging the former “Suits” actress to focus on savoring the moment rather than staging it for social media.

However, fans accused Meghan of ‘staging’ the ‘shrieking’ scenes, with one questioning why a ‘camera magically appeared’ to film the celebrations, while others criticised the former Suits star for not just ‘being in the moment’. 

Kelly, co-founder of Alliance of Moms, a non-profit that supports pregnant and parenting teens who are in the foster care system, reposted her pal’s story to her Instagram page, writing: ‘Best game ever! 

‘Sorry H your team didn’t win but mine did. Dodgers I LOVE YOU!,’ she added, revealing why the Prince wasn’t as excited as his over-the-top wife.

It comes after Meghan and Harry attended a baseball game at the Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Tuesday night – and their front-row treatment received a mixture of boos and cheers from the crowd after the couple flashed up on the kiss-cam screen.

The pair infuriated fans by sitting in the best seats in the house to watch the LA Dodgers take on the Toronto Blue Jays, having secured spots directly behind the pitch clock, which usually costs tens of thousands of dollars.

Basketball icon and part-owner of the Dodgers, Magic Johnson, and four-time World Series winner and Hall of Fame pitcher, Sandy Koufax, were both relegated to seats behind Harry and Meghan, further outraging some fans. 

It is unclear whether the Duke and Duchess, who were decked out in Dodgers’ merchandise, paid for the seats or if they were invited as VIPs by the team.

Further showing her support for the squad, a casually-dressed Meghan appeared to scream with joy in last night’s clip, hugging her best friend and sharing a kiss with her husband after all three watched the game together.

However, some fans questioned why the Duchess had a camera set up in the room, and insisted that she should’ve just ‘been in the moment’ instead.

‘This is irritating to see. Fake AF. Of course it was NOT staged because, you know, the camera was perfectly positioned to capture everyone,’ one person quipped. 

‘Oh my gosh! Look how happy we are and so into each other. See, we have a friend and it’s not my bottle of wine,’ they added on X. 

‘Have they taken this from a security camera!… Desperate times!!,’ another critic wrote, while a third joked: ‘Don’t forget to film it. Don’t forget to film it. Don’t forget to film it.’

A fourth sarcastically added: ‘Whenever my team wins, I immediately stop celebrating so I can set up my phone and record my boyfriend’s reaction – even if he couldn’t care less – because that’s totally normal behavior. 

‘Forget “being in the moment.” This is why every marriage proposal should be filmed: always stop what you’re doing and hit record.’

On Tuesday night, the Sussexes had been enjoying a ‘date night’ at the Dodger Stadium when they featured on the big screen from their front row seats – but a mixture of boos and cheers broke out from the 56,000 sports fans.

The Duke and Duchess appeared to awkwardly brush off the mixed reaction by looking straight ahead and smiling.

One fan posted on social media: ‘Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just came on the big screen and the crowd booed them! I think I’d cry if that happened to me.’
