Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has once again found herself at the center of controversy.
Her recent speech at the Invictus Games left many feeling uncomfortable and questioning her motives.
But what exactly is it about Meghan’s speeches that make us cringe?
Over the past month, we’ve witnessed Meghan ramble in front of large audiences, unfiltered and unguided.
It has been, frankly, unbearable.
Let’s start with the Invictus Games, a passion project for Prince Harry.
This event, aimed at allowing brave men and women who fought for their country to represent it once again, is truly beautiful.
One would expect Meghan to be supportive and proud of her husband.
Instead, she begins her speech with an unnecessary apology for being late.
To be honest, nobody even noticed her lateness until she pointed it out.
It begs the question, does she truly care about the games?
Or is she simply using them as a platform for her own agenda?
While there could be understandable reasons for being late, such as a snake bite or being kidnapped by terrorists (relatable to this particular audience), Meghan’s excuse falls flat.
Claiming she was late because she had to give her child another milkshake is simply not believable.
Surely, as a member of the royal family, Meghan has enough resources to delegate such tasks.
It’s not that we doubt her abilities as a mother, but rather that her emphasis on being the “milkshake mom” seems disingenuous.
And to add insult to injury, immediately after the event, the eco-friendly duo jetted off to Portugal for a kids-free holiday.
Who’s making the milkshakes now, Meghan?
The reactions to Meghan’s speech have been scathing.
Commenters expressed their outrage at her insults to the British Armed Forces and her apparent self-serving nature.
Some even suggested that she purposely arrived late to gain more attention, comparing her to someone who arrives late at a birthday party just to be noticed.
It’s ironic that Meghan speaks about the importance of family when her own family seems to be in disarray.
Her level of hypocrisy is mind-blowing.
Yet she continues to preach about family life and what others should do.
It wouldn’t be surprising if she started giving parenting seminars, considering she believes herself to be the oracle of family life.
The irony is not lost on us.
Overall, Meghan’s milkshake speech has become the b*tt of many jokes.
While some may argue that it was a harmless mistake, it has only further damaged her reputation.
As she and Prince Harry embark on their new ventures, such as their deal with Netflix, it remains to be seen how their actions will be received by the public.
In conclusion, Meghan Markle’s speech at the Invictus Games left us cringing and questioning her motives.
Her emphasis on being late and her condescending gestures only added fuel to the fire.
It’s clear that Meghan still has a long way to go in winning over the public’s trust and respect.
