In a surprising turn of events, Megan Markle has once again managed to grab the headlines with her recent appearance at the Invictus Games.
However, her attempt to portray herself as a caring mother and relatable figure has left many scratching their heads.
During her speech, Megan apologized for missing the beginning of the games, citing her involvement in the school run and buying milkshakes as reasons for her tardiness.
This move seemed like a desperate attempt to change her image and present herself as a loving and involved mother.
But does this narrative hold up under scrutiny?
Many have pointed out that Megan’s children, if they even exist, would be too young to be in school full-time.
It is more likely that her son, Archie, would attend school for a half-day in the morning, while her daughter, Lilibet, would only be in daycare at most.
Furthermore, Megan’s attempt to portray herself as a caring mother falls flat when considering her strained relationship with her own father.
It is also worth noting that she has at least one full-time nanny, if not more, which makes her excuses for being late seem unprofessional and insincere.
The timing of Megan’s speech also raises eyebrows.
Many questioned why she felt the need to do the school run herself if her presence at the Invictus Games was so important.
If she truly couldn’t miss the event, logic would dictate that she should have stayed at the school instead of leaving early.
This isn’t the first time Megan has been accused of stealing ideas from others.
In this instance, she seems to have borrowed the concept of the school run from Catherine, who was unable to attend an event due to her commitment to her children’s first day at a new school.
However, while Catherine’s excuse was believable, Megan’s attempt seems forced and disingenuous.
Another point of contention is the fact that schools in California start their academic year in mid-August.
If Archie were attending school, he would have already been enrolled for a month by the time of the Invictus Games.
This suggests that Megan’s speech was premeditated and not a spontaneous off-the-cuff remark.
