According to a source close to the couple, Meghan and Harry were disappointed by their inability to attract significant attention during their visit. There was a conspicuous absence of crowds in the Hudson Yards area as the Sussexes arrived and departed.
When questioned about their presence in the city, many locals expressed indifference, not displaying any enthusiasm. Their departure from the event was met with no waiting crowds, resulting in an awkward drive back to their hotel.
Meghan, in particular, seems to have a strong desire to be surrounded by adoring crowds, as it serves as evidence of their popularity. It's peculiar thinking, considering that they chose to distance themselves from their royal roles. If they were indeed upset about the lack of adoring crowds in New York City during their visit, it's somewhat satisfying to learn that the lack of widespread interest genuinely affects them. Their attempts to establish a new identity outside the royal sphere have seemingly fallen short.
It's also worth noting the absence of packs of journalists following them, given their previous claims during their prior visit to New York City. It seems that their ability to draw media attention has waned.
Recently, a photo circulated on Twitter depicting Meghan Markle with a broad grin while taking a picture with a parent who had lost their child. The contrast between her apparent happiness and the evident pain in the lady's eyes has sparked criticism. Some view Meghan as taking advantage of people who are genuinely struggling with mental health issues, suggesting that she lacks empathy entirely.
Meghan's behavior gives the impression that she views people as pawns in her own life's narrative, devoid of empathy, understanding, or basic courtesy. She appears to exploit individuals for her gain, whether it's for financial benefit, networking opportunities, or even media exposure.
During her speech, Meghan made a comment about motherhood being the most important thing, followed by a reference to her marriage to "this one," with an expectation of laughter from the audience.
However, it fell flat because it was an inappropriate occasion to bring up such personal matters, especially when addressing parents who have experienced the loss of their children. Her speech was characterized by vague and empty statements, and her choice of attire, the use of a seven-car convoy for a short trip around the block, and the extensive coverage of her clothing choices were seen as excessive and out of touch.
The visit appears to have left a negative impression on those parents who had to endure the presence of Meghan and Harry, as it was perceived that they believed they were entitled to encroach on a space that required sensitivity and understanding.
