Meghan Markle seems to be at it again, this time centering her latest "winefest" on her supposed struggle with going unnoticed in New York City.
It appears Meghan has an uncanny ability to transform even the most mundane experiences into dramatic narratives. This episode begins with her September 2019 trip to New York City, which Meghan recounts as though she were embarking on a top-secret mission. According to her, sneaking into the city incognito—complete with a cap pulled low and head down—was quite a significant ordeal.
This revelation recently surfaced at the opening of Godmother’s Bookshop in Summerland, where Meghan somehow managed to seize the microphone, despite the event not being centered around her. She took the opportunity to share this anecdote, yet another attempt to elicit sympathy from her audience. She described the bookstore as a "sanctuary of safety" from the supposed dangers of being an unrecognized celebrity. This comment is part of her latest effort to paint herself as a victim of fame.
Now, let’s not gloss over the actual details of Meghan’s 2019 trip. She flew from London to New York on September 6th and was soon spotted at Modo Yogurt in the West Village. Later that day, she attended the U.S. Open finals, ostensibly to support her friend Serena Williams. Meghan would have us believe that the real highlight of her trip was a quick visit to a bookstore. Perhaps she was so absorbed in reading that she forgot to fully explore the rest of New York City. Just a thought.
And as for Serena Williams, there’s an interesting twist. Reports suggest that Serena wasn’t exactly thrilled to have Meghan in the stands during the U.S. Open. After all, Meghan had already been present earlier that year at Wimbledon, where Serena lost. The pattern repeated itself at the U.S. Open, where Williams was defeated once more, this time by Bianca Andreescu. Some might even call Meghan's support more of a jinx than a help.
Adding to the drama, Anna Wintour was seated behind Meghan during the match. But despite her proximity to fashion royalty, Meghan still didn’t secure an invite to the exclusive Met Gala. It seems that rubbing elbows with Wintour wasn’t enough to get her on the guest list for one of fashion’s most prestigious events.
But the story doesn’t end there. Meghan’s trip to New York happened at a time when she and Prince Harry had reportedly told the late Queen that they were too busy to visit her at Balmoral. While Harry stayed behind with their newborn son, Meghan jetted off to New York. There’s even a lingering rumor that her passport had been taken away during this period, adding to the list of controversial trips she allegedly made without proper documentation.
Fast forward to now, and Meghan is dredging up this tale from six years ago, complaining about her supposed lack of attention back then. Her nostalgic recollection seems to center on her "heroic" effort to remain unnoticed in New York, which she now frames as some kind of significant personal sacrifice. News flash, Meghan: the city wasn’t really looking for you. In the grand scheme of New York’s daily hustle, your presence—or absence—was barely noticed.
Meghan’s exaggerated tale of sneaking around New York City is yet another example of her relentless quest for attention. Whether it's spinning stories about secretive trips or portraying a simple bookstore visit as a "Fortress of Solitude," her craving for the spotlight appears to be insatiable.
