Imagine attending a lavish dinner worth $5,000 only to be prohibited from taking a single photograph.
This is precisely what guests can expect at the upcoming Lux dinner hosted by Meghan Markle on November 29th.
Organized by the Women’s Fund of Central Indiana, this extravagant event aims to raise funds for women and girls in need.
Describing Markle as a mother, feminist, and advocate for human rights, the fund hopes to bring about positive change through charitable donations.
Despite the hefty price tag attached to the tickets, attendees are not only forbidden from recording the event but are also required to declare that they are not members of the media.
The $5,000 cost includes a table for 10 people and $2,500 worth of food and drinks.
In a now-deleted social media post, the Women’s Fund encouraged attendees to embark on a road trip to join the occasion.
Interestingly, information regarding table prices has mysteriously vanished from the Women’s Fund of Central Indiana website.
However, the Power of Women event, featuring the beloved duchess, is still being promoted.
Speculation arises as to whether the ticket prices were reduced due to low sales.
Renowned royal expert Neil Sean shared a video discussing Meghan’s speaking engagement at Marriott.
He revealed that media presence was strictly prohibited at Meghan’s request, but he also mentioned how the Women’s Fund resorted to social media to boost ticket sales.
Neil pointed out the hypocrisy of banning media coverage until seats needed to be filled.
Another royal expert, Daniela Elsa, openly criticized Meghan for what she considers an embarrassing decline in popularity.
Elsa compared a previous Women’s Fund event, which saw former first lady Michelle Obama speak to a sold-out crowd of 13,000 people at an indoor arena, to the upcoming event with Meghan.
Daniela emphasized that the largest capacity of the conference space at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown is only 2,500 people.
She further highlighted that another event hosted by the Water and Sewer Distributors of America, also at a Marriott hotel, had a much larger guest turnout.
Elsa concluded that Meghan does not possess the same drawing power as Michelle Obama, indicating a significant contrast in crowd expectations.
Adding to Meghan’s woes, Elsa drew attention to a recent YouTube upload from Variety.
The front page feature on Meghan garnered 213,000 views, while a previous front page star, Ana de Armas, accumulated 279,000 views.
Elsa remarked that the internet seems to have turned against Meghan, suggesting a decline in her popularity.
It’s unclear when or how this shift occurred, but it appears that Meghan’s dreams of post-royal success have taken a hit.
Once seen as a rising star, destined to become a modern-day icon like Mother Teresa, Princess Diana, and BeyoncĂ© combined, Meghan’s path now seems uncertain.
Despite her ambitions for 21st-century activism, recent events have left her facing a challenging week in terms of public opinion and support.
