I immediately thought of you when I spotted Meghan in that sultry red dress at the Children’s Hospital LA Gala. What was your initial reaction? Meghan's choice of attire was certainly unusual. She wore that dress at the USS Intrepid, an event honoring the American military. Many remarked how inappropriate it was—she looked more suited for a Hollywood awards ceremony than a military function. And definitely not for a children's hospital event. As we’ve discussed, this highlights a broader issue: Meghan seems to lack a trusted stylist and tailor to ensure she’s dressed appropriately and that her outfits fit her well. This raises further questions about the rumored mass exodus of Sussex staffers.
Then there’s the juicy detail from Richard Eden, the remarkable royal reporter for the Daily Mail, who reported that Meghan seemed to stick around just for the photos before making a hasty exit. It’s classic Meghan Markle, isn’t it?
Absolutely! I had heard whispers of this, but I was skeptical. I appreciate my sources, but I can’t just repeat unverified claims. It seemed unbelievable at first—who would have the audacity to show up at a children’s hospital gala, take a few photos with sick kids, and then leave? But when I saw Richard Eden post about it, I realized it was likely true, and honestly, I was still shocked. It’s appalling!
Meghan may be beautiful on the outside, but the way she leaves these events without truly engaging is troubling. Events like these are about celebrating those saving lives and acknowledging the hard work of people dedicated to helping sick children. Skipping out early is just incomprehensible.
And regarding the red dress, this is where a royal stylist should step in and advise, "This event isn't about you." That plunging Carolina Herrera dress is designed to draw attention, which, ironically, is not what a military or children's hospital event should focus on. It’s been about ten or twelve days since she was photographed with Harry, who’s been making significant public appearances. Meghan has shown she can sit through tedious events, like a grueling award ceremony, but she didn’t want to stay when it wasn’t about her. It’s astonishing—just when you think she can’t sink lower, she proves otherwise.
It's amusing you mention that because I had flashbacks to her rental car incident when I saw her posing in front of the Costco sign. It raises the question: does anyone think about the optics? Publicists often avoid having celebrities stand in front of random brands to maintain their image. It’s messy for a duchess!
She seems to be aware of how people perceive her, as indicated by her statement about being personally invited by Children's Hospital LA’s president and CEO, Paul Viviano. It’s bizarre she felt the need to emphasize that she was invited. Who cares? She got her pictures, didn’t she?
I think you’re spot on. Her stock has fallen so low that she knows people might think she crashed the event for her benefit, which is why she had to clarify the invitation from a high-ranking official. It feels desperate, especially given Harry’s recent rebranding efforts at the UN. It seems like she’s trying to prove her worth and contribution to society, but the whole thing comes off as sloppy.
And you’re right; she seems to read everything written about her. Did you catch last week’s *Us Weekly* cover?
Oh yes, the one where the Sussexes fed *Us Weekly* information about their staff turnover? *Us Weekly* is essentially a grocery store tabloid, along with other low-tier publications like *Star Magazine* and *The National Enquirer*. If I were Meghan, I’d aim for something more prestigious, like *Vanity Fair* or *Town & Country*. It’s puzzling that she chose *Us Weekly* to defend herself.
Absolutely! *Us Weekly* is a tabloid you find at grocery stores, a far cry from *Vanity Fair*. It seems like Meghan fed *Us Weekly* her approved narrative to counter longstanding rumors about her behavior, including claims of being a bully and reducing staff to tears. One particularly amusing detail mentioned was that when she has a pregnant staff member, she generously offers her used baby supplies. Can you imagine?
Yes! And it’s interesting because one of the notes in the article said guests never leave her home without a basket of flowers or fresh eggs. But that reminds me of the savage *Cut* interview where the author, Allison P. Davis, highlighted Meghan's bizarre behavior. Meghan insisted she wanted to be portrayed as non-verbal due to her royal trauma, yet she was verbally directing how to describe her.
