Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, finds herself in the midst of controversy once again as reports surface about her adoption of a rescue chicken from Ellen DeGeneres.
However, sources close to Ellen’s representative reveal a shocking twist – Meghan allegedly butchered the chicken for her dinner.
This revelation has shed light on Meghan’s desperate pursuit of positive publicity in 2024.
In a bid to generate attention, Meghan reportedly paid a PR team to spread the news about her adoption of a chicken.
The irony of this situation is not lost, considering Meghan’s previous claims of unveiling significant projects in 2023.
The headlines surrounding the Duchess adopting a chicken seemed almost satirical.
One cannot help but wonder if there should be an award for such an act.
Ellen DeGeneres, known for her love of animals and residing just a five-minute drive away from the Sussexes’ mansion, shared updates about a rescue chicken named Cinky on Instagram.
The bird had suffered a broken fibular bone in its leg before Christmas.
DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, caught Cinky, who had taken refuge in an old stone sink in their backyard.
In a post featuring Cinky enjoying fresh lettuce, DeGeneres revealed that the chicken’s leg had healed but it faced bullying from other chickens, prompting the need for a new home.
Fortunately, Meghan and Harry had space in their coop for one more chicken.
The couple has been tending to a flock of rescue chickens since moving to California in 2020 and named their coop Archie’s Chick Inn, in honor of their son.
According to Ellen’s post, Meghan and Harry even contemplated giving the chicken a royal title.
However, recent events have cast doubt on their intentions.
A source close to a friend of Meghan’s mother, Doria, disclosed that one of the chickens in the Sussexes’ coop was being bullied.
Unfortunately, this was the same chicken that Meghan and Harry had for dinner.
Doria was invited to a sumptuous meal of roasted chicken, which she proudly shared with a friend.
When asked if the chicken was raised at Meghan’s house, Doria responded, “Ellen’s.”
It appears that Meghan merely pretended to adopt Ellen’s chicken as a means to promote herself.
This incident raises questions about Meghan and Harry’s desire to showcase their kindness, generosity, and compassion.
Instead of using their platform to make a meaningful difference in the world by supporting animal rescues or sanctuaries, they seem more focused on gaining clout through the adoption of a rich person’s pet.
The desperation to garner positive press is evident in Meghan’s actions.
However, it is important to note that the public’s interest in Ellen’s bullied chicken or Meghan’s adoption is minimal.
This situation also brings to mind past instances where Meghan claimed to have been influenced by Ellen’s advice regarding animal adoption.
However, Ellen herself has expressed confusion and denies any recollection of these encounters.
Ultimately, Meghan’s decision to butcher Ellen’s rescue chicken for dinner exposes her hypocrisy and undermines her supposed commitment to animal welfare.
As the Duchess continues to seek publicity, it remains to be seen whether her actions will have the desired effect or simply further tarnish her reputation.
