In a stunning turn of events, Megan has been replaced by Kat Graham as a speaker at the upcoming One Young World Conference.
Last year, Megan’s speech at the summit gained widespread attention for its excessive self-references, with the Duchess mentioning herself a staggering 54 times in just seven minutes.
However, this year, it seems that Megan did not receive an invitation to participate in the event.
The decision to replace Megan with Kat Graham was made by the organizers of One Young World after careful consideration.
They deemed Megan’s appearance and speech from last year as inappropriate in the context of this year’s theme for the 2023 event.
The negative response to Megan’s speech was significant, with both the audience and other speakers expressing an 85% unfavorable rate.
Media coverage of the summit focused extensively on criticizing Megan, which ultimately tarnished the reputation of One Young World.
Kat Graham, who will now be taking over as a speaker, has garnered widespread support from various quarters.
The annual One Young World Summit brings together exceptional young leaders from over 190 countries and more than 250 organizations, all dedicated to advancing social impact.
Since 2010, projects driven by One Young World ambassadors have positively impacted the lives of over 41.5 million people.
Last year’s event marked a significant setback for Megan, as her speech was widely criticized.
Her focus on herself in an address about gender equality was seen as self-centered.
Attendees even held up placards with critical messages, and there were instances of booing when Megan and Harry arrived at the venue.
In contrast, Bob Geldof’s speech before Megan’s was hailed as inspiring, highlighting the stark contrast in tone.
Geldof, who delivered the keynote address at the One Young World Manchester in 2022, made his opinion of Megan’s performance clear through his expressive eye-rolling during her speech.
From the moment Megan entered the venue until the end of her address, Geldof’s exaggerated reactions were impossible to miss.
It appears that his influence played a role in Megan’s absence from this year’s summit, as his perception of her performance as mediocre is well known.
Megan’s entry into the venue was met with silence instead of the expected applause.
As she and Harry walked past the seated audience, Bob Geldof’s reactions were quite apparent.
The day after the event, The Telegraph published an article subtly criticizing Megan’s speech, humorously referencing Geldof’s eye-rolling during her pauses for effect.
This lighthearted commentary further emphasized the perception of Megan’s speech as underwhelming.
