Meghan Markle has drawn the ire of Brits, for a reason us Aussies might find rather strange.
The Duchess of Sussex, 45, who is married to Prince Harry, raised eyebrows with her fish and chips order with a twist, while on an outing with a friend at a British pub recently.
Her close friend Kelly McKee Zajfen shared a post on her public Instagram account after spending time with the Duke and Duchess, showing off Meghan’s plate of food, that featured not one, but two unique sauces not every foodie can get behind.
Russell Myers and Jennifer Newton, from The Mirror’s Pod Save The King podcast, weren’t too impressed with Meghan’s choice of both tartare sauce and what appeared to be gravy for her fish and chips.
“This is a sacrilege,” Myers said with a laugh.
“If it was curry sauce, I can say ‘fair enough’. But not with the gravy, sorry,” Newton added.
People often say that fish and chips is a British institution, but often their fish and chips are served with mushy peas.
McKee Zajfen, who co-founded the Alliance of Moms community in LA, shared a series of snaps of Meghan from their time together in the UK and spending time with their families.
“Having the best time. There’s something so special about getting a taste of this magical place with my bestie, and having my sweet Jack [her son] along for the adventure,” she wrote in part of her post.
“I’ve loved seeing this sweet chapter through her eyes and daily adventures!”
“Family time is just what the heart ordered. With a side of mashed peas and fish n chips! All of it has filled my heart,” she wrote.
In what appeared to be a message to the public and referring to the Duchess, she added: “It’s been beautiful to witness. She missed you too!”
In August, the Duke and Duchess moved back to the UK, where Harry is from, leaving behind their mansion in Los Angeles’ exclusive area of Montecito.
The pair relocated with their children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five.
It comes after Harry gave a speech via a video link to NATO’s Military Committee in Brussels, where he spoke about losing part of his “purpose and identity” after leaving the British Army.
“When I hung up my uniform, I felt as though I had lost not simply a profession, but part of my purpose and identity,” he admitted.
“Invictus is not a sporting event,” Harry said, referring to the Invictus Games and foundation he founded for wounded, injured and sick armed forces personnel.
“Sport is one of our tools. Our mission is much bigger. We rebuild purpose. We rebuild confidence. We strengthen families and communities.
“We connect veterans back into society. And increasingly, we connect nations so they can learn from each other about recovery, rehabilitation, mental health and life after service.”
