THIS is the awkward moment Meghan Markle is snubbed by a royal fan who refuses to shake her hand at the Fab Four’s walkabout.

The incident took place when Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, the Prince of Wales and Kate Middleton met with well-wishers on Saturday evening.

The “Fab Four” had reunited to pay their respects to mourners as they viewed the thousands of touching floral tributes left for The Queen.

As Meghan, 41, passed a few people and shook their hands, one grumpy woman was filmed looking down and away from her.

Footage shows the woman in dark blue also keeping her arms firmly folded as the Duchess of Sussex approached.

The lady then refused to extend a hand or look at the former Suits star as she moved past her down the line, before smirking at her friend.

But Meghan handled the snub like a pro and appeared calm and unfazed as she moved past the lady and continued on with her public appearance.

And despite that particular lady’s cold shoulder, Meghan was snapped hugging and consoling a number of mourners.

Meghan received a generally warm reaction from the crowd as she made her way down the line of adoring fans desperate to get a glimpse of the Royals.

She was pictured giving a big hug to a mourning fan in a tender moment before collecting flowers from the grieving crowds.

The rude reactions were shared on social media with many in support of Meghan slamming the woman.

“It’s incredibly petty and mean-spirited,” one person said.

“To not want to acknowledge someone who’s there to thank you for coming out to pay your respects.”

Another wrote: “The lady is an actual embarrassment. Typical school girl bullying behaviour.”

The rare appearance of the four together came as William decided to put aside the tensions with his brother to show “unity” following a phone call with dad King Charles, a royal source claimed.

The feuding brothers are thought to be walking side-by-side on both Wednesday, when their grandmother arrives in London, and next Monday for The Queen’s funeral.

It comes as the Queen’s four children bowed their heads in a moving vigil over her coffin tonight as she lies in state at St Giles Cathedral.

Mourners filed past in solemn silence as King Charles III, Princess Anne and Princes Edward and Andrew stood guard on each side.
