Twelve days after Prince Harry and Meghan's relationship became public in November 2016, Meghan penned an article in LUK magazine.
She recounted an intriguing tale of declining a lavish flight offered by a prestigious jewelry company to attend the BTER Awards in London. Megan's decision stemmed from a previous experience; in 2015, she had visited a refugee camp in Rwanda as part of her advocacy work for UN Women. Despite the allure of the red carpet, Meghan listened to her instincts, which urged her to abstain.
She shared her internal conflict on The Tig, expressing the challenge of balancing her humanitarian work with the glamour of high-profile events. Her heart resonated with the purpose-driven nature of her recent endeavors in Rwanda, making it difficult to seamlessly transition to the glitz and pomp of an awards ceremony.
While Meghan declined the invitation, she confessed a romanticized fascination with the BTER Awards. However, she clarified that there was no actual invitation extended to her. The notion of being flown in by a jewelry company and adorned in exquisite attire was purely fictional. Meghan's association with the acting world, particularly her role in "Suits," did not merit such grand gestures.
Speculation arose about Prince Harry's potential attendance at the BAFTAs as a substitute for his brother, Prince William, who typically graced the event. However, Harry's supposed email to the BAFTAs board offering himself as a stand-in displayed a stark detachment from reality.
The alleged involvement of Meghan in orchestrating Harry's BAFTA attendance appeared predictable yet disheartening. It depicted a tendency to blur the lines between Hollywood glamour and royal protocol. The subsequent offer to stun the prince for his ailing father reeked of desperate attempts at positive publicity. Such actions only served to diminish their credibility and dignity in the public eye.
Meghan and Harry's relentless pursuit of attention, including their attempts to reestablish themselves within royal circles, seemed delusional. In contrast, Prince Charles exemplified dignity and responsibility as he prepared to carry the weight of the future, while Harry's actions portrayed a disconnect and disrespect towards royal traditions. The bridge to the royal family seemed not just burned, but obliterated.
