Meghan Markle finds herself at the center of controversy once again, as TV personality Lizzy Cundy accuses her of exhibiting allegedly rude and dismissive behavior toward a guest at the prestigious LA Children's Hospital Gala.
This annual charity event, known for drawing Hollywood’s elite, has now become the setting for Markle’s latest scandal. The LA Children’s Hospital Gala, held biennially, is a glittering occasion that attracts stars like Jamie Lee Curtis, who come to support a noble cause. Yet, despite the charitable nature of the event, Markle’s presence has sparked criticism for being anything but warm or altruistic.
According to Cundy, who shared her account on GB News, Markle arrived at the gala accompanied by an entourage of bodyguards, immediately raising eyebrows about her true intentions for attending. Cundy, known for her candid remarks, described Markle’s demeanor as less than gracious, remarking that her expression was as though "she had swallowed a wasp." This sharp observation of Markle's face, etched with discontent, left many wondering about her attitude toward interacting with fans. What should have been a warm and welcoming appearance at a charity event instead seemed cold and distant, raising questions about Markle’s ability to connect with those outside her inner circle.
The situation reportedly escalated when a guest approached Markle for a simple selfie. While many celebrities embrace such requests with enthusiasm, Markle allegedly recoiled, treating the request as if it were beneath her dignity. Cundy's description of Markle's reaction—a scowl likened to a wasp sting—painted a picture of someone who may view herself as superior to those around her. This behavior, according to Cundy, not only left the guest feeling belittled but also highlighted a sense of entitlement on Markle's part. A moment that could have brightened a fan's day instead left them feeling unwanted and dismissed.
Cundy didn’t stop there with her accusations. She suggested that Markle’s appearance at the gala was merely a superficial effort to secure a photo op. According to Cundy, Markle made a brief appearance before being whisked away through a side exit, avoiding any meaningful interaction or contribution to the charity itself. This alleged behavior fueled further speculation that Markle’s involvement in the event was insincere, leading to the conclusion that she may have overstayed her welcome in Los Angeles, a city that once embraced her with open arms.
During her appearance on GB News, Lizzy Cundy took a swipe at Markle, sarcastically stating, “I bet she was delighted to see me.” Her comment hinted at the pair’s past friendship, which had soured over the years. Cundy continued, “It’s the event to be seen at. I was hoping she’d do something for the charity—maybe give a speech—but it seemed like she was just there for the photo op.”
Cundy's connection to Markle dates back to 2013, when they first met at a charity event in London. At the time, Cundy recalled that Markle had asked if she could be introduced to a British man, expressing her admiration for Englishmen. “We were having a girly chat, and she said, ‘Do you know any famous guys? I’m single, and I really love English men,’” Cundy shared. She recounted how the two spent time together at another high-profile event in London the following day, where Markle appeared friendly and sociable, asking questions about Cundy’s family. “She was really fun, really sweet. I liked her,” Cundy added, reminiscing about their early interactions.
However, their friendship quickly cooled when Markle began her relationship with Prince Harry. According to Cundy, she was left feeling hurt when Markle seemingly cut off all contact, a discovery she only made through the media. “I texted her, saying, ‘Oh my God, I heard about Harry,’ and she responded, ‘Yeah, I know, we’ll try to catch up.’ But after that, she ghosted me completely,” Cundy revealed, adding that she believed Markle may have been advised by the royal family to sever ties with people in the media. “I was literally ghosted by her,” Cundy lamented, reflecting on the abrupt end to their friendship.
These claims have only added fuel to the ongoing debate surrounding Meghan Markle's character and how she handles relationships both in and out of the public eye.
