Meghan Markle accused of trying to steal attention from King Charles major moment

Meghan Markle has been accused of trying to steal the attention away from King Charles with her latest announcement.

According to reports, the monarch’s cancer update was meant to be a hopeful and important moment, however, the Duchess of Sussex’s announcement for new project took away the limelight.

Meghan and Prince Harry announced they are executive producing a documentary about Girl Scouts selling cookies, set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.

An insider told Radar Online the close timing of the project’s announcement shifted public focus away from the King’s health update.

"The timing comes across as utterly self-serving. The project itself is fine, but it inevitably steals attention from a significant and hopeful moment for the king,” the source said.

Another added, "It feels like a deliberate effort to shift public attention at a time when the royal family is already under intense scrutiny for other matters.”

“It is both super-cynical and tone deaf and feels as if it was timed to take away from Charles' announcement. She effectively tried to hijack it, as everyone knew it was coming hours before, as it was announced by global media."

Updating royal fans about his cancer, Charles said in an announcement, "Early diagnosis quite simply saves lives.”

"I know, too, what a difference it has made in my own case, enabling me to continue leading a full and active life even while undergoing treatment."
