In a surprising turn of events, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, commonly known as the Sussexes, attended the funeral service of former First Lady Rosalyn Carter without an invitation.
The couple’s audacious move has once again demonstrated their complete disregard for both the royal family and the American people.
The late Mrs. Carter peacefully passed away at her residence in Plains, Georgia, on November 21, 2023.
Despite residing in Los Angeles since their controversial departure from the royal fold in 2020, Harry and Meghan decided to fly to Atlanta on a private jet to pay tribute to the former First Lady.
The memorial took place on Tuesday, November 28, 2023, at Glenn Memorial Church, located at Emory University.
Surprisingly, the Sussexes were not invited by the Carter family or even by President Joe Biden, who was among the dignitaries present.
Sources reveal that Harry and Meghan leveraged their connections with former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, close friends of the Carters, to secure a last-minute invitation.
Although the Obamas were also in attendance, they felt obliged to accommodate the Sussexes’ request, despite knowing that their presence would overshadow the solemn occasion and create a stir.
Insiders further claim that Harry and Meghan had ulterior motives for attending the service.
They allegedly saw it as an opportunity to enhance their public image and promote their upcoming projects with Netflix and Spotify.
The couple, who have faced accusations of exploiting their royal status for financial gain, have been diligently working on various documentaries, podcasts, and TV shows, expected to be released early in 2024.
The reaction to Harry and Meghan’s appearance at the service has been mixed among attendees and the media.
Some commended them for paying their respects to Mrs. Carter, a passionate advocate for mental health and humanitarian causes, whom the couple had met during their visit to Georgia in 2019.
However, others criticized them for being disrespectful, opportunistic, and attention-seeking, believing they stole the spotlight from the Carter family and the former First Lady’s legacy.
One of the most vocal critics of the Sussexes’ actions was Piers Morgan, the former host of Good Morning Britain and a longstanding nemesis of the couple.
Morgan took to Twitter to condemn Harry and Meghan, labeling their attendance as a “shameless stunt” and dubbing them “the most selfish, narcissistic, and hypocritical couple in the world.”
He also accused them of hypocrisy regarding their environmental concerns, highlighting their use of a private jet that emits more carbon dioxide than a commercial flight.
Morgan’s tweet garnered over 100,000 likes and sparked a heated debate among his followers.
While some agreed with Morgan and expressed their disgust and outrage towards the couple, others defended Harry and Meghan and accused Morgan of being obsessed and jealous.
On Wednesday, November 29, 2023, Mrs. Carter was laid to rest at a private service held at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia.
The church holds special significance as it was where she and her husband were longstanding members.
