Royal commentator Lady Colin Campbell expressed her dismay, stating that the situation "stinks to high heaven," and she couldn't be more accurate. Meghan and Harry, known for never shying away from the spotlight, now find themselves tight-lipped when it comes to addressing the health issues of their relatives. Lady Colin Campbell points out that a simple public declaration would have sufficed—a gesture that would have shown empathy and solidarity. However, Meghan and Harry appear adept at exploiting situations without extending the basic courtesy of acknowledging concerns surrounding their family members' health.
Although Meghan Markle took advantage of Catherine's hospital stay to steal the spotlight, she was not treated like a VIP on the red carpet at previous premiere events. Princess Katherine and Prince William both sat in the first VIP row; however, Meghan was pushed back to the eighth row. Additionally, Catherine wore matching dresses to movie events, making her a fashion icon, but Meghan failed to emulate that. Recalling Catherine at the Spectre Premiere in London in 2015, Daniel Craig praised her for a dress.
Prince William, Princess Catherine, and Prince Harry attended the world premiere of the latest James Bond movie, Spectre, in London. Catherine was dressed in an aqua blue Jenny Packham gown with stunning diamond earrings and a matching clutch, epitomizing Hollywood glam. Lady Colin Campbell believes that Meghan and Harry were not invited to the Jamaican event due to the seating, as it wasn't an event commensurate with Meghan being overdressed. One doesn't sit away from the family, the stars of the film, the Prime Minister, and, of course, the Paramount CEO if they are important. The seating arrangement indicates they were not welcome, and no one wanted to be near them. Photo ops are all quite awkward, and the Prime Minister's wife's expression speaks volumes. The CEO of Paramount is not happy as his wife holds her very frigid stance and walks off from the photo. Meghan and Harry walked into the shot, but it sure looks like they weren't supposed to be there.
