Meghan Markle’s Latest Instagram Upload Sparks Controversy

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has recently uploaded an emotional video to her Instagram account, documenting her efforts to obtain signed merchandise for a young girl affected by the Los Angeles wildfires. The video has sparked controversy, with many questioning Meghan’s motivations behind the gesture.

In the video, Meghan shares a heartfelt story about how she and her husband, Prince Harry, met the teenager’s mother during a community visit. She explains how Billie Eilish, a 23-year-old US singer, sent signed items to her for the 15-year-old girl whose home had burned down.

Psychologist Adam Lyons has spoken to Morningpicker about the video upload, claiming that it appears “rehearsed” but suggests that Meghan may have made a “real connection” with the young girl. Lyons highlights the extreme effort Meghan went to obtain the items, raising questions about her motivations.

“There’s nothing repeated or unusual about her gestures here,” Lyons explains. “She is, however, acting or presenting – in the sense that nobody receives a package and immediately turns their camera on to film it.” He adds, “She definitely looks natural, but natural in the way an actor or someone performing to camera would look.”

The Body Language Expert’s Take on the Video

Morningpicker spoke to a body language expert, who has analyzed Meghan’s gestures and tone in the video. The expert notes that Meghan’s behavior can be seen as “natural in the way an actor or someone performing to camera would look.” However, there are some who suggest that Meghan may be acting or presenting for the camera.

The expert highlights the extreme effort Meghan went to obtain the items, saying, “Overall, you have to think about why somebody would put in this much effort to help somebody get a single t-shirt. It is possible she made a real connection with somebody and she was really inspired to go out of her way to do this, but from an altruistic point of view, the fact she made a video about it means it was never really about serving the other person, it was more about self-serving herself.”

Prince Harry’s Recent Solo Appearance Raises Questions

Prince Harry’s recent solo appearance in New York has been overshadowed by the noticeable absence of his wife, Meghan Markle. This has led to speculation that their personal brand seems somewhat “little thin” when not presented as a “mega” double act, according to an expert.

During his visit coinciding with the UN General Assembly High-Level Week, Harry attended several events, including a notable panel at the Clinton Global Initiative on Tuesday, where he highlighted issues within the digital space and paid homage to his late mother, Princess Diana, while discussing the Diana Award.

Royal historian Dr. Tessa Dunlop spoke to Morningpicker about the prince’s engagements and commented on Meghan’s lack of presence, suggesting it might be due to the couple’s past conduct.

“It has been a whirlwind week for Prince Harry in New York, championing all the causes he cares about most: young people, Diana’s legacy, the climate and the corrosive effects of social media,” Dunlop explains. “Harry speaks at the Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting in New York

Statesman Harry was all sharp suits, polished performances, and packed halls until he hit Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show with expletives and manly joshing as the pair pranked their way around a Haunted Maze to kick-start America’s Halloween obsession. ‘Is that Michael Buble?’ quipped Harry of an itinerant ghost. Half kid, half adult, Harry appeared to have it all – charisma, wit, goofball charm and yet the star power the Duke of Sussex exuded in Colombia was missing. Meghan was nowhere to be seen.”

The Couple’s Personal Brand and Its Impact

Morningpicker spoke to Dr. Tessa Dunlop about the couple’s personal brand and its impact. She notes that the Sussexes’ brand has been affected by their past conduct and joint appearances.

“For better or for worse, Harry and Meghan became synonymous with rebellion, identity politics and woke culture,” Dunlop explains. “The Sussexes versus the Establishment was a global phenomenon. Alone Harry had been a second-rung royal or, in his words, the Spare. Meghan a bit-part Hollywood actress in a series called Suits. Together they were mega. Megabucks and mega stars. Nothing could stop them, not even a ‘manly pep talk’ from that other renegade, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson. But out on his own again, the Duke’s brand looks, well, a little thin, no matter how good Harry is at his American royal-adjacent role (very, as it turns out).”

Rift Between Prince William and Prince Harry Remains Unresolved

The rift between Prince William and Prince Harry remains unresolved, but these two people could be the key to fixing the rift between the two brothers, royal experts suspect.

Princess Diana’s sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes, have frequently stood by both William and Harry at various events, maintaining a close bond with each of them individually. Since Diana’s tragic death in 1997, her siblings have stayed involved in both William’s and Harry’s lives, attending both of their weddings and other significant milestones.

Back in 2019, Lady Sarah, Lady Jane, and their brother, Charles, Earl Spencer, were among the select few invited to attend Archie’s christening, showing their ongoing commitment to supporting both Harry and William.

Despite the lack of communication between the two brothers, their aunts continue to show up for them in quiet, consistent ways.
