However, many social media users were unhappy with her provocative appearance when meeting the heir to the British throne. Some even claimed that Prince William looked “uncomfortable” next to her.
@MissLihleM: “She could have worn something more classy. There’s a place and time for every outfit.”
@tlou_maba2: “I’ll be so damn embarrassed if I was wearing like that next to a prince.”
@BabySmeg: “She is shameless. Hai suka!”
@PreciousShange: “What happened to dressing approximately for an occasion? This outfit is offensive for the occasion and the person she’s standing next to”.

MEETING A ROYAL IN YOUR UNDERWEAR!
While many consider Uncle Waffles meeting Prince William in a bra-style top as inappropriate, it wouldn’t be the first time a royal has met an SA star wearing next to nothing.
In 2019, Faf de Klerk infamously met Prince Harry in his undies after the Springboks won the Rugby World Cup in Japan.
