Prince Harry's polo friend Nacho Figueras has been revealed to be an admirer of Jennifer Aniston, who is known to have an aversion to Prince Harry's wife, Meghan Markle.
The Argentine polo star was spotted liking Aniston's Instagram posts, suggesting he followed the Friends actor closely on social media.
Given that Aniston criticized Meghan's history and even followed an Instagram account that is anti-Harry Prince and Meghan Markle, this could pose potential discomfort.
Nacho was one of thousands of people Aniston liked photos of Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow on the app.
His virtual thumbs point out that polo players are keeping a close eye on Aniston's Instagram activity and content.
Given the Hollywood star's lack of enthusiasm for Meghan, this subtle social media support is surprising.
Aniston has recently faced a backlash for continuing to follow the controversial Instagram account RootedInReality, known for defaming Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The account also attacked other celebrities with vicious words, including Amber Heard, Angelina Jolie and the Kardashians.
But despite the pressure, Aniston refused to unfollow the abusive page or condemn its often vicious satire directed at Meghan.
The actor was also found to have liked several posts on RootedInReality that mocked and criticized the Duke and Duchess.
This hints at a certain antipathy for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, which is at odds with Nacho's act of admiration online.
A close friend of Prince Harry for more than a decade, Nacho's fondness for Meghan's critics could cause friction.
Despite Aniston's criticism of his best friend's wife, his virtual flattery to Aniston seems surprising if he is loyal to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Nacho's continued admiration feels a little unfaithful, as Aniston makes people suspect that she holds a grudge against Meghan.
While likes are not friendships, it does show that Nacho is friendly with someone associated with spoofing Prince Harry's partner.
At best, the polo star dated Aniston online seemingly naively without taking into account her subtle attacks on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
At worst, it implied that Nacho did not hesitate to applaud Meghan's criticism, despite his ostensible loyalty to Prince Harry.
Either way, his failure to break ties with Aniston actually meant acquiescence, if not acquiescence.
Given the extensive media coverage and the outcry from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle fans, Nacho can't pretend to be ignorant of Aniston's affiliation.
His continued liking of her posts suggests that he doesn't think her subtle negative feelings toward Meghan matter, or even make sense.
If so, it would confirm doubts about the extent of Nacho's loyalty to his troubled royal friends and polarizing partners.
Nacho has not avoided engaging with detractors, instead visibly maintaining positive admiration for celebrities who share the views of the anti-Harry Prince and Meghan Markle.
His indifferent involvement in digital media may send the message that mocking Prince Harry and Meghan Markle doesn't outweigh Nacho's passion for a famous star.
At the very least, the polo icon seems indifferent to the online ridicule of Meghan, despite his public loyalty to Meghan's husband.
While perhaps unintentional, his friendly online interactions with Aniston hint at his willingness to ignore her almost undisguised hostility.
Either Nacho lacks self-awareness and can't grasp the embarrassment of applauding critics of Prince Harry's partner, or simply doesn't care.
Given the polo star's long-standing friendship with the exiled Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, neither possibility portrays him particularly considerately.
But does a positive thumbs up for Aniston's Weibo indicate that Nacho harbors a secret contempt for Meghan?
It's still speculation, but cheerleaders he cheered online for her known critics is sure to raise suspicion.
Nacho's favor on the web raises an open question: Where is Nacho's true loyalty in Prince Harry's feud with the royal family?
Is the horseback close friend's admiration for a celebrity who is opposed to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle a couple simple naivety or subtle infidelity?
Until clarified, Nacho's status as Prince Harry's trusted confidant appears to be even more ambiguous, as he apparently cannot restrain himself from flattering the Duchess's hostile critics.
When it comes to publicly supporting Meghan, the polo icon either lacks judgment, conviction, or both.
Fair or not, his gracious praise for Aniston could send a pernicious perception that even Prince Harry's inner circle is suspicious of Meghan.
Because Nacho no longer seems to be a principled defender of embattled Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but a loyal alcoholic friend who may give up.
To be sure, the polo star's online dealings with Aniston were either flippant or deliberate, muddying his royal loyalty.
His affection for the divided duchess was not so much a naïve enthusiasm as a thoughtful ambivalence.
Either way, Nacho sparked controversy by warmly embracing a celebrity who was less enthusiastic about Prince Harry's wife on social media.
The polo legend may need to make some disturbing explanations to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and their supporters if his applause for Aniston's Instagram was more than just an innocent online faux pas.
