Meghan Markle might be facing some real challenges as her and Prince Harry start going their separate ways in professional endeavors. It appears that Meghan is struggling as her Hollywood dreams seem to be slipping away. Recently, she made an impromptu and somewhat puzzling appearance at the LA Children's Hospital Gala, where her behavior raised eyebrows. Clutching her friend’s hand tightly—even pulling it towards her crotch, mimicking the way she and Harry hold hands on red carpets—her actions seemed strange to onlookers.
During the event, Meghan made comments about the hospital's treatment being "otherworldly," but quickly left after a brief appearance. She posed on the red carpet, spent a few moments inside, and then exited rather abruptly. Her odd behavior, combined with the way she’s seemingly grasping at remnants of her royal connection to maintain relevance, paints a picture of someone struggling to find her footing in Hollywood. While she once believed her royal title would open doors, it seems that as time goes on, fewer people are indulging her, especially major players like Netflix and Spotify, who have distanced themselves. Meghan is discovering that as these companies move on, no one is rushing to fill the void.
Her recent gala appearance could be seen as an attempt to rekindle some of that "royal magic," but it backfired. In contrast, her friend, who was also present, looked far more regal and composed than Meghan, highlighting the disparity in how Meghan is perceived. If she wants to be taken seriously as royalty, many believe she needs to start acting like it. Unfortunately, she seems to be caught between trying to be both a celebrity and a royal, and it’s not working in her favor.
As time passes, it's becoming clear that Meghan Markle misunderstood what it means to be royalty. She's tried to fuse celebrity status with royal duties, but that blend hasn’t won over many in the industry or the public. Her actions, in some ways, have also cast a negative light on the rest of the royal family. People unfamiliar with royal decorum may wrongly assume that her behavior is representative of how all royals act, which is certainly not the case.

Now, let’s talk about Meghan’s red dress at the gala. When I saw her in that Carolina Herrera gown again—yes, the same one from 2021—I was shocked. It’s not just bad; it’s hideous. I’ll dive deeper into the fashion critique on my other channel, but suffice it to say, this dress should have been burned after its first appearance. It’s poorly constructed, unflattering, and simply outdated. How she could wear it again is beyond me.
However, it wasn’t just the dress that made this appearance so odd. My mom, who often serves as my voice of reason, called me to express concern over Meghan’s mental health. While the video footage isn’t quite as bizarre as some of the photos, her behavior still came across as off-kilter. Meghan’s interactions, especially her clutching to her friend, felt juvenile, and it’s not behavior one would expect from a royal figure.
Meghan’s comments at the hospital were equally strange, and it makes you wonder how connected she really is to the cause. She doesn’t seem to understand how to carry herself in these environments, which underscores why she never quite worked as a royal. It’s not about her background or nationality—she just lacks the poise, tact, and elegance required. While some might argue that grace is innate, Meghan’s desperation for fame and power has overshadowed any opportunity to present herself as royalty.
If Meghan truly embraced her royal role, perhaps Hollywood might have taken her more seriously. But her erratic behavior, combined with her inability to project regal dignity, means she’s not seen as royalty or a serious Hollywood contender. Instead, she’s overexposed and her actions reflect someone still trapped in a desperate bid for attention. Hollywood seems to have moved on, and Meghan is left scrambling to salvage her public image, particularly after allegations of bullying.
In examining some of the photos from the event, you can see the difference between Meghan and her friend, Kelly. Kelly, who tragically lost a child, carried herself with elegance and composure, while Meghan appeared awkward and out of place. Her posture and the way she clung to Kelly were reminiscent of a teenager rather than a royal figure. This behavior, combined with her odd fashion choices, made the whole event feel off.
There was also a strange moment when Meghan posed with a hospital staff member, awkwardly grabbing her friend’s hand. It looked more like teenage girls goofing around than a royal making a public appearance. At one point, Meghan leaned down to interact with children at the event, but the high slit in her dress made the situation even more inappropriate, as she nearly flashed the crowd.
Meghan Markle's appearance at the LA Children's Hospital Gala was another example of her struggle to find her place. Her odd behavior, inappropriate attire, and overall lack of decorum are doing little to help her regain any lost royal or Hollywood credibility. It’s hard to see how she’ll turn things around if she continues on this path.
Wow, the work being done at Children’s Hospital LA is simply extraordinary. But what does that even mean? Describing it as “otherworldly” doesn't really make sense. It raises questions about her understanding of the situation, and to be honest, I don’t think she truly knows what that means either. From my perspective as a mother, she often emphasizes her role as a parent, but it’s curious that she’s rarely seen with her children. It’s almost as if she’s constantly reminding everyone, “I’m a mother,” yet she’s hardly ever photographed alone with her kids.
There was an interesting incident I meant to discuss in detail, but it might have to wait. It appears that Harry and Meghan are trying to manipulate the media in some instances, and while the media often allows themselves to be manipulated, this particular case stood out. Reports indicate there are back grid pictures of Meghan with Archie at the Godmother’s Bookshop, but he’s completely cut out of the shots to the point where you can hardly see him in some images. Interestingly, it was never reported that he was even there.
Why does she receive such special treatment? Other celebrities are photographed with their kids, even when their children's faces are blurred out for privacy. So, why couldn’t they do the same for Archie? It just seems odd. This happened a few days ago, and it leaves you wondering why it’s such a big deal. Their approach to keeping their children private feels unnatural, leading people to read into things too much. In many ways, they seem to set themselves up for failure.
No one wants to be in a position where they have to visit a hospital like this, but if you must, Children's Hospital LA is certainly one of the best. However, it felt a bit too much like a campaign slogan when she said it was the “best place in the world.” It’s worth noting that it is a good children’s hospital, though it ranks seventh in the nation.
Now, let’s discuss the mention of “close friends” who have their children undergoing treatment there. I don’t know about you, but I don’t know many people who frequently take their children for treatments at a hospital. This raises some questions about her claim of having a network of high school friends—friends who, until now, seemed nonexistent. In fact, one of her supposed high school friends reportedly distanced herself after Meghan’s marriage ended.
This leads me to wonder what’s really going on. If Meghan is talking about friends with kids who are receiving treatment at Children’s LA, I can only assume it might involve their transgender unit. That would make some sense, but it’s just a theory. Otherwise, it would imply a concerning level of childhood illnesses within her social circle, which raises even more questions.
Additionally, the extraordinary care offered to families who couldn’t otherwise afford it should never be overlooked. I’m grateful for everything they do and happy to support their efforts. However, what does “support” really mean in this context? Did she make a donation? According to an article from People magazine, during the event, Meghan took photos with families whose children are patients, crouching down to engage with the kids while chatting with them. Interestingly, she also spoke with her father at the rooftop event but didn’t interact with the mother.
Inside, Meghan appeared cheerful as she greeted nurses from the hospital, taking time to converse with them and snap selfies. However, she left through a side door, escorted by staff, only engaging with anyone who stopped her on her way out. This indicates she didn’t stay for dinner—just a quick photo op before departing.
This is not typical royal behavior, and it’s becoming increasingly clear that Meghan Markle is struggling to adapt to royal expectations. Even in Hollywood, those around her often display more regal qualities than she does, highlighting her lack of understanding of what it means to be royalty.
Meghan Markle seems to be struggling with her identity, presenting a pale imitation of royalty that diminishes her standing in the eyes of the entertainment industry. Her recent behavior—clutching her friend's hand and making giggly faces reminiscent of a teenager at the mall—doesn't reflect the poise expected of someone with her title. She needs to clarify the distinction between who she is trying to be and who she really is. Currently, she is a celebrity who happens to have a royal title, but if she wishes to be treated like royalty, she must start acting the part.
This isn't a simple dilemma. Meghan has to choose between embracing her royal status and engaging as a celebrity. While she often demands to be treated like royalty, her actions do not align with that expectation. In contrast, Prince William and Catherine (Kate Middleton) maintain an aura of mystery and elegance that Meghan lacks. The more frequently we see her, the less impressive she appears. To complicate matters, her fashion choices are often criticized, leading to an increasingly negative perception of her.
As Meghan and Harry navigate their way through Hollywood, their repeated failures to achieve success are becoming more apparent. I believe Meghan is grappling with the looming loss of their Netflix deal, which hasn't been officially confirmed but seems imminent. Additionally, her venture, American Riviera Orchard, appears to be stuck in “trademark hell,” with no clear release date in sight, possibly missing the lucrative Christmas season. Meanwhile, Harry expresses a desire to be a philanthropist, spending more time away from home, further distancing himself from Meghan. This unfolding situation seems to be causing her distress, as her world appears to be unraveling.
Their numerous poor decisions, both personal and professional, are catching up with them. They had a unique opportunity to make a significant impact in Hollywood, but they squandered it. Now, as the industry moves on, Meghan must contemplate her next steps. Unfortunately, a high-profile appearance at a charity event for a Los Angeles Children's Hospital is unlikely to improve her public image.
Moreover, the bullying accusations she faces—along with reports of staff members leaving—further tarnish her reputation. Meghan appears increasingly overwhelmed by these challenges, struggling to cope when circumstances slip beyond her control. As Harry continues to distance himself and as their children grow more independent, the control she craves may slip further away.
The move to Los Angeles, while perhaps well-intentioned as a couple, has not proven to be in Meghan's best interest. Many speculate that she coerced Harry into choosing her over his family, a decision that seems to haunt them both now. Harry may be realizing that the grand vision Meghan promised is fading away, leaving them without a clear path forward.
Desperate for a breakthrough, Meghan must confront the reality that her current tactics are not yielding the desired results. To be viewed as royalty, she may need to consider returning to the UK—a move she seems unwilling to make. This refusal leaves her stuck in a limbo where she struggles to be taken seriously. Frankly, she fails to present a serious persona, often coming across as juvenile and, at times, erratic.
Some speculate that Meghan’s demeanor hints at deeper issues, with comments suggesting she might be struggling with mental health challenges. Regardless of the reasoning, her squandered opportunities have left Hollywood unimpressed. As they watch her antics unfold, industry insiders are increasingly walking away.
The concern now is that Meghan, feeling cornered, might resort to more outrageous stunts to maintain her visibility and secure the attention she craves. Once accustomed to the thrill of the spotlight—when she was the center of attention—she may now face a backlash that she struggles to handle.
