Rebel Wilson claimed that Meghan Markle was rude to her but later admitted that her mother made the Duchess of Sussex uncomfortable 

Rebel Wilson rubbed fans the wrong way after she shared how her first time meeting Meghan Markle did not go well.

After the Australian actress claimed that the Duchess of Sussex was not "naturally warm" toward her and her mother, when they met via a mutual friend, it emerged that her mother made the royal uncomfortable that warranted a cold reaction.

In her conversation with Andy Cohen, Rebel said: "Harry could not have been nicer."

"But then Meghan was not as…cool. She wasn’t as naturally warm."

"But maybe, I don’t know, my mom being Australian just asked her all these slightly rude questions."

When asked what her mother said to cause the duchess to act cold she said: "'Where are your kids’ and things like that. And I’m like: ‘Ma, don’t ask her that!'"

"Well, maybe that’s why she was a little standoffish!" Andy then argued.

Fans react to the Rebel Wilson, Meghan Markle drama 

While those watching were seemingly agreeing at first, many took to Twitter to express their support to Meghan after she faced rude behaviour from her mother.

"Hold on. Rebel Wilson's mum asks Meghan Markle rude questions and now Rebel is prattling on about how Meghan wasn't 'naturally warm' to them," another tweeted. 

"There's a lot to unpick here but let's start off with the fact that you can't expect someone to be welcoming when you are rude to them."

"So Rebel and her mum were rude to Meghan and they are surprised Meghan wasn’t warm back? Can’t expect someone to be welcoming when you are rude to them," one more commented.

"I bet that’s not the only 'slightly rude' question her mom asked. These people are all so entitled," another claimed.

"It reveals so much about RW that she didn't spin this anecdote into 'I can't take my mom anywhere, you wouldn't believe how she was with Meghan,'" someone else wrote. 

"Also this is a great example of how Black women are perceived as ‘angry’ or ‘unfriendly’—Black women in particular are expected to always be friendly and like, laugh along with everyone's tired racist jokes?? And if not, the racists feel personally wounded to realize not everyone is going along with their BS."
