Witnesses recently spotted Meghan Markle at a cemetery in Los Angeles, where she was seen smiling and waving to cameras.
The backdrop of the solemn location seemed to serve as a platform for her to promote the Isle Foundation.
This incident has drawn comparisons to a previous situation involving Meghan and Prince Harry, where they conducted a PR campaign during the peak of the pandemic.
At that time, they had brought a photo crew to the US Military Cemetery on Remembrance Day, possibly in response to being denied the chance to lay a public wreath at an official royal event in the UK while paying tribute to the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
In a rather unusual move, Meghan and Harry decided to list all 2,977 names of the individuals who lost their lives in the tragic events at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and on United Flight 93.
These names were prominently displayed on the homepage of the Isle Foundation’s website under the title “In Memoriam,” marking the 20th anniversary of the devastating incident that shook the world.
The memories of the planes striking the towers, the ensuing fires, and the heartbreaking scenes of people jumping to their deaths continue to evoke strong emotions even today.
The collapse of the towers and the heroic efforts made amidst the chaos are still poignant reminders of that fateful day.
However, Meghan’s actions have sparked controversy, as she chose not to offer a private prayer but instead used the victims’ names from the internet to promote herself on a commercial website.
This move raised eyebrows as the usage of victims’ names is typically reserved for respectful purposes in museums and monuments.
By taking this step, Meghan seemed to lack understanding and respect for the traditions associated with such solemn occasions, driven by her desire to enhance publicity for herself and the Isle Foundation.
The situation was further exacerbated by Meghan’s demeanor at the September 11th memorial alongside Prince Harry.
While the occasion called for solemnity, Meghan was observed happily waving to cameras and smiling broadly.
Her behavior, including attempting to mimic Princess Diana‘s mournful expression while looking at the wreath, has been met with criticism.
Prior to this, Meghan had also inserted herself into a school event in Harlem and posed as a member of the British royal family during meetings with the governor and mayor of New York City.
Witnesses confirmed that these instances were perceived as PR stunts, and the following day, Meghan attended a charity event for wounded soldiers, which unfortunately seemed to revolve around her own persona.
There was minimal acknowledgment of the soldiers’ sacrifices, and Meghan even participated in a parade while visiting a cemetery to pay her respects.
The continuous documentation of these actions through photographs and film crews has raised doubts about the authenticity of their intentions.
Having distanced themselves from the royal family, Meghan and Harry now solely represent their individual personas and should refrain from assuming roles as government representatives.
The exploitation of remembrance days observed by Commonwealth countries to honor fallen soldiers for PR purposes has been met with criticism, notably from Piers Morgan.
The focus on publicity detracts from the solemnity of such occasions and overshadows the responsibilities of the royal family members in the UK.
