HOT NEWS: BLOODY WOMAN! Sophie Wessex Foams w Rage As Meghan Tried To Hold Her Hand At Women Team At Olympics

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, was furious when Meghan Markle tried to hold her hand at the Women’s Team Sprint event at the Paris Olympics. The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris were not only filled with intense competition and world-class athleticism but also became a stage for royal drama. The London-based royal watchers were thrown into a frenzy after an incident involving Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, at the Women’s Team Sprint cycling event.

The story began quite innocently. Meghan Markle, who had become a passionate supporter of women’s sports since stepping back from royal duties, was in the stands cheering on the British cycling team. Sitting next to her was her husband’s aunt, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh. The relationship between these two women had long been reported as frosty, with frequent tension and disagreements since Meghan entered the royal family.

As the race unfolded on the track, the atmosphere in the stadium grew tense. The British team was fiercely competing with the Dutch squad, fighting for the gold medal. In a moment of excitement, Meghan reportedly reached over and attempted to hold Sophie’s hand—a gesture of support and enthusiasm. However, the Duchess of Edinburgh was not having it at all. Eyewitnesses reported that Sophie jerked her hand back as if she had been burned. The look of pure venom on Sophie’s face was reportedly visible even from the farthest seats.

“It was absolutely extraordinary,” said royal correspondent Camilla Tominey. “You could just feel the rage and contempt radiating off of Sophie. I’ve never seen anyone look so disgusted.” Meghan, seemingly unaware of Sophie’s extreme displeasure, continued to try to engage her, even leaning in at one point and saying something directly to Sophie. But the Duchess of Edinburgh was having none of it, sharply turning her head away and outright ignoring Meghan for the remainder of the event.

The incident, which was quickly captured on camera and widely shared online, has sent shockwaves through royal observers. “This was a masterclass in ice-cold disdain,” said historian Judith Kingsbury. “Sophie Wessex has never been one to hold back her feelings, but this was next level. The absolute fury on her face was just chilling.”

Many have speculated that the Duchess of Edinburgh’s extreme reaction was fueled by long-simmering resentments. “There’s no love lost between these two,” said royal biographer Ingrid Seward. “Sophie has always been very protective of the royal family, and I think she sees Meghan as this interloper who has caused nothing but trouble. She probably sees any attempt by Meghan to get close as a threat.” Others have pointed to the fact that the Duchess of Edinburgh, being a patron of the British Cycling Federation, may have taken Meghan’s enthusiastic cheering for the Dutch team as a personal affront.

“Sophie is incredibly proud of the British cycling program, so seeing Meghan visibly excited about the Dutch team must have really rubbed her the wrong way,” said royal correspondent Richard Palmer.

Whatever the root cause, the fallout from the incident has been swift and severe. Meghan’s supporters have rushed to her defense, accusing Sophie of bullying and isolating the Duchess of Sussex. Meanwhile, the Duchess of Edinburgh’s staunchest defenders have praised her for maintaining her composure and refusing to engage with Meghan’s antics. In a shocking move, Buckingham Palace even issued a rare public statement condemning the unacceptable behavior of both women and reminding them of their duty to uphold the dignity of the Crown.

“Her Majesty the Queen is deeply distressed by the ongoing tensions between the Duchess of Edinburgh and the Duchess of Sussex,” the statement read. “Such public displays of discord are an embarrassment to the monarchy and cannot be tolerated.”

The fallout has extended beyond just the royal family. British Cycling officials have been inundated with angry letters and emails from fans, some of whom have vowed to boycott the sport entirely due to the unsportsmanlike behavior of the two duchesses. There have even been calls for both women to be barred from attending future Olympic events.

As the dust settles, many are left wondering what this incident means for the future of the royal family. With tensions already high following Harry and Meghan’s high-profile departure, this latest debacle has only served to further divide the Windsors.

“This really was a perfect storm,” said royal correspondent Camilla Tominey. “You had two strong-willed women, both extremely protective of their respective camps, thrust into this highly charged, high-stakes environment. It was a recipe for disaster, and that’s exactly what we got.”

Only time will tell if the Duchess of Edinburgh and the Duchess of Sussex can ever find a way to set aside their differences for the good of the monarchy, but if this latest incident is any indication, it seems unlikely that we’ve seen the last of the royal drama. Fasten your seatbelts, royal watchers—it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
