In a twist that seems straight out of a Hollywood script, Meghan Markle has reportedly taken matters into her own hands, staging her own paparazzi moments.
Yes, you read that right!
The former royal, now navigating the waters of celebrity life, was spotted at the upscale Cipriani restaurant, where she turned her bodyguard into an impromptu photographer.
It’s hard to believe how far she’s willing to go to maintain her relevance.
Dressed to impress in a stylish trench coat over a black turtleneck and trousers, Meghan left the restaurant all smiles, sans Prince Harry.
With aviator sunglasses perched on her nose, she looked like she had just stepped off a movie set.
It’s almost comical to think that anyone would dress so dramatically for a casual lunch, but then again, this is Meghan we’re talking about.
This latest outing comes on the heels of her chilly adventures in Canada, where she participated in training for the Invictus Games.
Perhaps she’s still trying to warm up from those frigid temperatures, or maybe she’s just rehearsing for a role as a glamorous woman perpetually caught in a gust of wind.
Either way, her fashion choices seem more theatrical than ever.
But let’s get to the heart of the matter.
The real spectacle wasn’t her striking outfit or her post-Canada glow; it was the absurdity of having her bodyguard play the role of a photographer.
When the paparazzi fail to show up, why not create your own?
It’s a bizarre strategy that raises eyebrows and invites laughter.
According to reports, Meghan allegedly contacted a photo agency for this little charade, but one photographer simply wasn’t enough for her.
Enter her bodyguard, snapping away in the background to give the illusion of a media frenzy.
It’s both sad and amusing to witness her efforts to appear like a star surrounded by adoring fans and photographers.
As she made her hasty exit to her car, flanked by security, onlookers were left scratching their heads, wondering who exactly she was.
The lengths to which Meghan goes to project an image of fame and popularity are quite astonishing.
It almost seems like Prince Harry has given her a ticking clock, urging her to rush from place to place to keep up appearances.
With Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, absent from the scene, Meghan appears to think it’s her moment to shine.
Unfortunately, the spotlight isn’t shining as brightly as she might hope.
The reality is that her attempts to generate buzz around her fashion choices seem to be falling flat.
It’s baffling to consider why brands would want to associate themselves with such overt desperation.
The old adage that “any publicity is good publicity” doesn’t hold water here.
Meghan’s orchestrated moments have turned her name into a verb—“to be markled”—and it certainly isn’t a compliment.
Adding fuel to the fire, there’s speculation that what lies beneath her beanie isn’t her natural hair but rather a wig.
If true, it serves as a fitting metaphor for her current situation—trying too hard to convince the world of a facade that simply isn’t real.
Perhaps it’s time for Meghan to reconsider her approach.
The world is increasingly aware of the carefully constructed images she presents, and no amount of staged exits or faux paparazzi can mask the truth of her waning relevance.
As we look ahead, one can only hope for a shift toward authenticity rather than the relentless pursuit of attention.
