In a surprising turn of events, Johnny Depp took it upon himself to alert security when Megan Markle made an uninvited appearance at the funeral of renowned Irish singer and songwriter, Shane McGowan.

The funeral, held on December 8, 2023, was attended by notable figures such as Irish President Michael D. Higgins, singer Nick Cave, and actor Johnny Depp himself.

Depp, who had a close friendship with McGowan spanning over three decades, served as one of the pallbearers and even gave a brief reading during the funeral mass.

However, his emotions quickly turned to anger when he spotted Markle entering the church without an invitation.

Confronting Markle, Depp questioned her presence, as she had no connection to McGowan or his music.

Markle, dressed in black with a veil, claimed to be a fan of McGowan and expressed her desire to pay her respects.

She explained that she was in Ireland to promote her new Netflix documentary, “Megan, The Truth Behind the Lies to the Island People,” which shed light on the alleged mistreatment and racism she faced from the British royal family and the media.

Nevertheless, Depp remained unconvinced by Markle’s explanations and accused her of using McGowan’s funeral as a publicity stunt.

He also reminded her that she was not welcome in Ireland, as many Irish people considered her a traitor and hypocrite for abandoning her royal duties and suing the Irish Mail on Sunday for publishing a private letter she wrote to her estranged father.

Frustrated with the situation, Depp called for security to escort Markle off the premises.

Despite her resistance and appeals to other guests, no one came to her defense.

Eventually, she was removed from the church and driven away in a black SUV.

This incident ignited outrage and backlash among McGowan’s fans and the Irish public, who criticized Markle for her lack of respect and decency.

Social media platforms were flooded with comments condemning Markle for attending Shane McGowan’s funeral without fully understanding his significance.

Many accused her of seeking attention and sympathy.

On the other hand, Johnny Depp was hailed as a legend and a hero for taking action to remove Markle from the funeral.

People praised his genuine friendship with McGowan and his unwavering support for Ireland.

Markle’s spokesperson responded to the incident, expressing her sadness over McGowan’s death and emphasizing that Markle meant no harm by attending the funeral.

The spokesperson also claimed that Markle had been a victim of harassment and bullying by Depp and the Irish media and stated her intention to pursue legal action against them.

Markle’s spokesperson mentioned that Markle eagerly awaited the release of her documentary, which aimed to shed light on the truth about her life and struggles.

While Johnny Depp did not issue any statements regarding the incident, his friends and colleagues commended him for his courage and loyalty.

Singer Nick Cave, who performed at the funeral, described Depp as a true gentleman and a great friend who honored McGowan’s memory and legacy.

Irish President Michael D. Higgins also praised Depp as a remarkable actor and a generous human being, highlighting his solidarity and support for the Irish people and culture.

It is worth noting that at the time of the incident, Depp was in Saudi Arabia attending the Red Sea International Film Festival, where he presented the MENA premiere of his film “My Wake in 2023,” titled “John Doeri.”
