As there were no means of real crowd control, the 37-year-old was quickly whisked away by her handlers.
However, the ever-gracious public figure showed no signs of nerves or anxiety. She remained calm and all smiles as she was moved to her next location. But the women who were set to meet her were disappointed they didn't get a chance to greet the former Suits actress.
Meghan’s market appearance occurred on the ninth day of her and Prince Harry’s 16-day Commonwealth tour.
