Amid royal family scandal, Meghan Markle reappeared in Canada
The Duchess of Sussex, who rents a $ 14 million mansion on Vancouver Island, visited a community center. Prince Harry would travel in the next few days to meet his wife and son after permission from Queen Elizabeth II
While Prince Harry negotiates his role outside of British royalty, his wife Meghan Markle has already begun her anonymous life in Canada along with their eight-month-old son Archie. The Duchess of Sussex wants to continue her social work in her new home, and she visited a help center for women and children in a humble Vancouver neighborhood.
Markle first left her luxurious $ 14 million home, where she lives with her young son after both she and her husband unexpectedly resigned from their high-ranking royal duties last week. She was photographed in the last hours getting on a seaplane from Victoria Harbor airport on her way to the assistance center.
The 38-year-old Duchess of Sussex visited a women's shelter located in one of Canada's poorest neighborhoods, on the east side of Vancouver. She was received by one of the women in charge of the center. The duchess spoke with some people who approached her, and at all times she was very smiling. The look she chose for the meeting was totally informal, with a hooded jacket and boots to protect herself from the cold and snow.
The shelter posted a photo on its Facebook page with Meghan along with a group of eight women, with the caption: "Look who we had tea with today! The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, visited us to discuss issues affecting women. women in the community. ”The shelter provides counseling and food to women and children in need.
A few days after announcing her plans to give up her royal duties and seek financial independence, Meghan Markle returned to Canada to reunite with her son Archie, whom she left in the care of a nanny and her best friend, Jessica Mulroney.
Hours after Monday's meeting in Sandringham between Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and their sons William and Harry, it was learned that there was no communication with Markle, who was initially said to be able to intervene in the meeting by videoconference.
Simultaneously, another crisis broke out around the Sussexes. Thomas Markle, the duchess's father, is preparing to testify against her own daughter in a legal case over a private letter. He is expected to be called as a key defense witness in one of the lawsuits the Duchess has filed against the Mail on Sunday.
Markle, 75, has provided lawyers with never-before-seen text messages sent in preparation for Meghan's wedding to Prince Harry in May 2018 that reveal the breakdown of the father-daughter relationship. Some of these messages were presented by the defense of the newspaper in the High Court of London.
Legal documents state that after Markle texted her daughter telling her she couldn't attend her wedding due to emergency heart surgery and was told not to fly for health reasons, she received a text message that appeared to be from the prince in which he challenged and accused him of causing harm to his daughter for his statements to the press.
In one of the texts he says he sent to his daughter, it can be read: “I have not done anything to hurt you, Meghan. I'm sorry that my heart attack is ... inconvenient for you. "
Meghan launched her legal action against the Mail on Sunday last year after it published excerpts from the letter she had sent to her father. Thomas Markle delivered the letter to the newspaper after unidentified friends of the duchess told People magazine that she had written to him in an attempt to repair their relationship.
The father of the former actress sent the manuscript, making the Duchess's version look ridiculous, which infuriated her. The newspaper's defense alleged that Meghan had "knowingly" allowed her friends to leak details of the letter to the magazine and that in this way she had helped violate her own privacy.
On the other hand, William and Kate Middleton reappeared for the first time since the actual crisis broke out at the Bradford community center.
For his part, Harry will appear on Thursday at Buckingham Palace in front of the world press as he participates in the official draw for the Rugby League World Cup, to be held in the United Kingdom next year. It will be your last engagement as a high-ranking member of the royal family, and it could be your last on behalf of the Queen if your desire to have occasional duties on her behalf is successful.
