According to the source, Meghan scheduled an appearance to meet the fire department members and seemingly attempt to mend any negative feelings after a series of emergency calls from her residence. However, her visit left the firefighters feeling uneasy and puzzled.
This wasn't the first time Meghan imposed herself on a group. The insider recalled a similar incident in Canada during the Sussex exit negotiations when she visited a woman's shelter and took photos for PR purposes, never to return. The insider also mentioned how Meghan's employees were instructed to address her as "The Duchess of Sussex" instead of using her name.
Social media users expressed their disapproval of Meghan's actions, finding it strange that she didn't bring her children along during the visit. Typically, visits to a firehouse involve children seeing the trucks or expressing gratitude for handling an emergency they were involved in. Some users found it peculiar that Meghan's visit didn't align with these usual reasons for engaging with a fire department.
While dropping off gifts or treats at firehouses used to be common years ago, such gestures are not as prevalent today. Meghan's actions seemed out of touch with the current norms. The timing of the visit also raised questions, considering California's serious fire season.
Meghan's uninvited visit to the Montecito Fire Department and her insistence on being called "Duchess" has left many puzzled and unimpressed.
