Princess Kate recently underwent abdominal surgery, and King Charles is scheduled to receive treatment for a benign prostate condition—two significant health challenges faced by senior members of the royal family.
Despite these concerns, Meghan and Harry, who had once pledged to be forces for good and champions of causes close to their hearts, have maintained a conspicuous silence. While Prince Kate and King Charles grapple with their health issues, Meghan and Harry were spotted at a movie premiere in Jamaica, seemingly more focused on preserving their celebrity status than showing concern for the well-being of their fellow royals.
Lady Colin Campbell, a royal commentator, expressed her dismay, stating that the situation "stinks to high heaven," and she couldn't be more accurate. Meghan and Harry, known for never shying away from the spotlight, now find themselves tight-lipped when it comes to addressing the health issues of their relatives.
Lady Colin Campbell points out that a simple public declaration would have sufficed—a gesture that would have shown empathy and solidarity. However, Meghan and Harry appear adept at exploiting situations without extending the basic courtesy of acknowledging concerns surrounding their family members' health.
Although Meghan Markle took advantage of Catherine's hospital stay to steal the spotlight, she was not treated like a VIP on the red carpet during previous premieres. Princess Katherine and Prince William had consistently occupied the first VIP row, yet Meghan was pushed back to the eighth row.
Additionally, Catherine's fashion choices, like wearing matching dresses to movie events, made her a fashion icon, while Meghan failed to emulate that. Recalling Catherine at the Spectre Premiere in London in 2015, where Daniel Craig praised her for her stunning dress, the stark difference in treatment becomes evident.
Prince William, Princess Katherine, and Prince Harry attended the world premiere of the latest James Bond movie, Spectre, in London. The Duchess of Cambridge, in an aqua blue Jenny Packham gown with stunning diamond earrings and a matching clutch, exuded Hollywood glam. Meghan's absence from the first VIP row was a notable departure from the royal protocol observed by her family members.
Lady Colin Campbell believes that Meghan and Harry were not invited to the Jamaican event due to the seating arrangement, as it wasn't commensurate with Meghan being overdressed. One doesn't sit away from the family, the stars of the film, the Prime Minister, and, of course, the Paramount CEO if they are considered important.
The seating arrangement indicated they were not welcome, and photo ops were awkward. The Prime Minister's wife's expression spoke volumes, and the CEO of Paramount seemed displeased as his wife held a frigid stance and walked off from the photo. Despite walking into the shot, Meghan and Harry's presence at the event appeared to be unwelcome and unplanned.
