Gwen Stefani, the renowned singer and judge on The Voice, has recently expressed her strong disapproval of Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, and her extravagant baby shower that took place in New York City back in 2019.
Stefani, who shares a friendship with Prince Harry’s cousin Princess Eugenie, revealed her shock and disappointment at Meghan’s excessive display of wealth and privilege, and made the decision to bring the truth about the event to the media’s attention.
The 53-year-old star was invited to attend Meghan’s baby shower by her fellow judge on The Voice, John Legend, who is also a friend of Meghan’s.
Known for her down-to-earth and humble personality, Stefani agreed to be part of the event without knowing the grand plans that the Duchess had in store.
The baby shower was held at the opulent penthouse suite of the Mark Hotel, situated on New York’s Upper East Side.
This luxurious suite, priced at $75,000 per night, holds the title of being the most expensive hotel room in the United States.
With its five bedrooms, six bathrooms, private rooftop terrace, library, dining room, and conservatory, it provided the perfect extravagant backdrop for the occasion.
Among the guests were prominent figures such as Amal Clooney, Serena Williams, Gayle King, Jessica Mulroney, Misha Nonoo, and Abigail Spencer.
They were treated to a delightful dessert-tasting experience, catered by the renowned chef Jean-Georges von Gerichten.
The lavishness continued with a cotton candy machine, a harpist, and even a flower-arranging lesson.
Arriving at the hotel in a casual denim jacket and jeans, Stefani was taken aback by the extravagance of the party and the overwhelming number of gifts that Meghan received.
She confided in a friend, expressing her discomfort and feelings of being out of place at the event.
Stefani also felt embarrassed by Meghan’s lack of awareness and sensitivity.
What particularly disgusted Stefani was Meghan’s disregard for the environmental impact of her actions.
This was especially troubling considering Meghan had recently flown to New York on a private jet, which emits significantly more carbon dioxide than commercial flights.
As someone who actively supports various charities and causes, Stefani questioned Meghan’s sincerity and commitment to her humanitarian work.
Stefani pointed out that Meghan had not taken the time to visit any of the organizations she claims to support in New York, such as UN Women, World Vision, or One Young World.
Additionally, she noted that Meghan had not made any donations to the charities she claims to care about, such as the Hub Community Kitchen, Smartworks, or Mayhew Animal Home.
Stefani criticized Meghan, labeling her as selfish and greedy, using her royal status and pregnancy to garner sympathy and attention.
Expressing concern for the strained relationship between Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their wives, Stefani revealed her sadness and anger towards Meghan’s treatment of Kate.
Stefani believed that Kate had genuinely tried to welcome Meghan into the family and help her adjust to her new role.
She accused Meghan of being jealous and insecure, deliberately snubbing and undermining Kate.
Stefani went on to describe Meghan as divisive and manipulative, causing significant damage and pain to the royal family.
Initially hoping to be a friend and supporter to Meghan, Stefani eventually realized that Meghan’s true colors were quite different from what she had expected.
Stefani decided to sever ties with Meghan and expose her true nature to the world.
She expressed her hope that the public would see through Meghan’s lies and hold her accountable for her actions.
As one of the most successful and admired women in the music industry, Stefani expressed deep regret and shame over her association with Meghan.
She considered Meghan to be a disgrace and a disaster for both the royal family and the world.
Stefani concluded by expressing her desire for Meghan to fade away from the public eye, believing that she was the worst thing that ever happened to Prince Harry.
Stefani wished for Harry to find happiness and peace without Meghan by his side.
