Meghan Markle’s speech feels like a ‘terribly disrespectful move’ as Firm remembers Queen
While I want to acknowledge the Sussexes when they get things right, they’ve unfortunately made yet another boo-boo.
Last night, Meghan Markle gave a speech at an Oprah Winfrey book club event in California, where Prince Harry’s controversial memoir, Spare, was prominently on display. Her ‘book’ was also rumoured to have been on shelves.
The timing of Meghan’s appearance raises eyebrows, as it occurred on the eve of the second anniversary of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s passing. It feels like a terribly disrespectful move to me, and it’s hard to believe Harry would have allowed it to happen.
After all, he was supposed to have been the late Queen’s favourite grandson, and they adored each other. I know I would have had far more respect for the anniversary of my late grandmother’s death.
Surely, both Meghan and Harry would have anticipated that coverage of this event would dominate the headlines the following day – precisely when the rest of the Royal Family is quietly honouring the Queen’s memory.
Today, King Charles and other members of the Royal Family commemorated her passing with private prayers and reflection.
Last night, the Duchess was one of several speakers at the bookstore opening event, held at Godmothers, a book shop and community space in Summerland, just a short distance from her Montecito home.
The so-called ‘star-studded’ gathering – which didn’t really have that many ‘stars’ – included figures such as Marco Leone, Dr. Jennifer Freed, and psychic medium Laura Lynne Jackson.
Spending time with these non-entities rather than with family in Blighty to commemorate such an important milestone, only goes to show where the Sussexes’ hearts lie – in increasing their profiles and adding to their bank balance.
