Meghan Markle makes a $250,000 ‘staggeringly tone-deaf’ show of things

Meghan Markle is said to mark the opening of the 79th World Health Assembly, which runs May 18-23 but just a day before, she has posted a selfie with her daughter Lilibet at her feet watching her try on dresses and European Editor at Large Tom Sykes has a lot to say.

“Just hours before this vital event, Meghan chose to post a photograph of herself smirking as her 4-year-old daughter, Lilibet, watched her try on outfits,” he penned in a piece for the Daily Beast while penning his candid thoughts.

“Yes, a woman who is about to stand alongside the world’s most senior public health official and discuss the measurable, preventable harms of exposing children to social media has just exposed her own child to social media,” he added.

But that isn’t the only thing that’s grinding his gears because with a cursory look into her wardrobe Mr Sykes was able to see $250,000 of stuff and in his view “It is a boastful image. It is a vain image.”

More than anything, given what she intends to do tomorrow alongside the WHO, (an institution known for fighting disease and poverty in the developing world,) he called it “staggeringly tone-deaf.”

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle's transitio After Megxit:

As for what happened afterwards, the ‘transition’ is said to have happened rapidly, as seen in behind-the-scenes images the Sussexes shared in their docuseries for Netflix a couple of years later.

From Vancouver Island, Canada to Santa Barbara, California, and Tyler Perry’s house in between, the couple moved around in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. But before that, their last leg of royal work included attending the Endeavour Fund Awards and the Commonwealth Day Service held at Westminster Abbey.

A couple of years later news came that a 12-month ‘review period’ concluded, which meant that the Sussexes would officially be confirmed as not returning to royal life. This also led to the stripping of Prince Harry’s honorary military titles, and royal patronages.

From that point on the interviews, (Oprah Winfrey, 60 Minutes, CBS, BBC) the docuseries, (Harry & Meghan) began, right after deals were signed with both Netflix and Spotify.

While the Netflix deal is said to be ongoing, despite it being in a diminished capacity, the Spotify deal fell through and fans even saw the CEO, Daniel Ek, come out and accuse the couple of being “grafters.”

A couple of years later, around 2023, in January the memoir that Prince Harry had been working on came out, titled Spare, and showcased details from the Sandringham summit, the dog bowl incident (where Prince Harry was thrown in by his brother) as well as a promise of ‘more material’ should a second book be in consideration.

In between all this (in 2021) Princess Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor joined the family, but not before Meghan suffered a miscarriage that she later penned for The New York Times, titled ‘The Losses We Share’.

The only documented returns to the UK where Meghan followed her husband was for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee (June 2022), then later her funeral as well. However, it did not end there because then the King’s Coronation followed, Lilibet and Archie became Prince and Princess, as is their ‘birthright’ in the words of their father, following that many years later the father and son duo made their first official contact in Windsor Castle, over tea for nearly an hour. Since then the anti-royal interviews have reduced, and its said the Sussexes are working towards rehabilitation, despite Prince William’s rumored dissatisfaction.
