Royal expert Tom Bauer criticized Meghan, questioning how she could stress the importance of family when she and Harry remain estranged from most of their families, except for a few members. He found Meghan's excuse for being late because she had to get milkshakes for her children implausible.
Notably, Prince Harry's uncomfortable reaction, including leaning away, covering his mouth, and nervously putting his hand in his pocket when Meghan mentioned the children, suggested that her remarks might not have been entirely genuine. Meghan's attempt to portray a relatable family moment appeared excessive for simply buying milkshakes and describing school drop-offs. This incident raised questions about Meghan's understanding of parenting and the authenticity of her statements.
Lady C also alleged that the situation was carefully scripted and amounted to propaganda. She questioned the logistics of Meghan getting milkshakes and delivering them to her children, considering the distance from her home in Montecito to In-N-Out Burger. Lady C pointed out that Meghan's arrival in Dusseldorf seemed orchestrated for maximum publicity, indicating a deliberate delay to create drama. She suggested that Meghan's PR team used overwhelming tactics to manipulate public perception.
Furthermore, Lady C noted that some Germans were unhappy with Meghan and Harry seemingly exploiting the race card during their visit. Meghan referred to one of the Nigerians as her sister, signaling her support for the Nigerian team. Lady C criticized this, arguing that Meghan should remain neutral as a patron of an organization. She also claimed that Meghan's late arrival was due to unmet demands and that organizers had planted cheerleaders to create a facade of authenticity.
Finally, Lady C pointed out that Meghan's statement about bringing their kids in the future suggested an attempt to portray their marriage positively, despite planted stories about their relationship being in trouble.
Meanwhile, author Dylan Jones has criticized Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, wondering why Meghan proceeded with the marriage when her husband is no longer a royal. He referenced the Superman franchise, suggesting that they catch up on it during their downtime. Jones expressed his views in a piece for Yahoo, suggesting that Meghan and Harry should consider returning to London with their family.
In his concluding remarks, Jones opined that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's life appears cinematic but not necessarily in a good or memorable way, more like something you'd stumble upon while channel surfing late at night on terrestrial TV when nobody's really watching.
