Meghan Markle’s ‘Cozy’ Photos With Prince Harry’s Pal Nacho Figueras Raise Eyebrows: Report

Meghan Markle and Nacho Figueras' sweet photos at a polo event captured many people's attention, according to a report.

Markle joined Prince Harry at the Sentebale Polo Cup earlier this month, where the Duke of Sussex played and won against his pal, Figueras. However, photos that swirled online showed the former actress and the Argentine polo player getting too close for comfort, and the sighting didn't go unnoticed by eagle-eyed fans.

"It raised some eyebrows at the polo match to see how cozy she got with Nacho," an unnamed source told In Touch. "People couldn't help but notice."

The source claimed that the "Suits" star had gotten into trouble before due to her attitude of being too physically close to others.

"Back when Meghan and Harry were living in England, it was a big talking point how handsy they were," the insider added. "Some believed it was bad form for royals to be behaving like this in public and rather unseemly."

Several netizens also talked about the incident on social media.

"Old #Megsy is getting pretty cozy with Nacho. Is she going to risk loosing [sic] her meal ticket?" one asked with a photo of Markle and Figueras with their arms around each other.

"Is Meghan going to run away with Nacho? Could Nacho be the Royal family's secret weapon (sauce)? When all else fails, send in an Argentinian polo player," another netizen asked.

"Trying to make H and Mrs Nacho jealous are we MM?" a different user wrote.

Some Sussex fans were also quick to defend Prince Harry's wife. According to them, she was only being friendly with her husband's pal and nothing more. One netizen even shared a snap of Markle with Figueras' wife, Delfina Blaquier, seemingly having a good time.

"Nacho is Harry's best friend. He is a top polo player and a RL model. He is married with 4 children to Delfina. Here are Meghan and Delfina last weekend. Meghan is NOT going after her friend's husband. Go learn something," one wrote.

Another described Prince Harry, Markle, Figueras and Blaquier, the new fab four, while sharing snaps of them at the Sentabale polo dinner on April 12.

Meanwhile, In Touch's source noted that the talks about Markle's cozy photos with Figueras left the royal mom of two baffled. She didn't expect that it would be perceived in a malicious light as it was natural for her.

"Meghan has always been physically affectionate, she's very expressive," the insider said while noting that the embrace was "purely platonic" and appropriate.

"Harry and Meghan are very close with Nacho and his family. He's been a real rock of support and is someone they trust implicitly," the tipster added.

Markle admitted in her and Prince Harry's Netflix docuseries "Harry & Meghan" that she was a "hugger." At the time, she implied that her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, wasn't a hugger like her, noting that she didn't know the act was "jarring" for many Brits.

"When Will and Kate came over, and I had met her for the first time, they came over for dinner. I remember I was in ripped jeans and barefoot," Markle said, per People.

"Like I was a hugger, always been a hugger. I didn't realize that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits. I guess I'd start to understand very quickly that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside."
