Meghan Markle has once again found herself at the center of controversy after posting a video detailing how she secured Billie Eilish merchandise for a 15-year-old girl who had lost hers in the LA wildfires.
However, rather than receiving the praise she seemed to anticipate, the reaction was anything but celebratory. Instead, the internet erupted with criticism, mockery, and, of course, Lady Colin Campbell’s signature takedown. Lady C did not hold back, immediately calling Meghan’s latest story as manufactured as her acting career. She pointed out that the press is no longer as quick to believe Meghan’s narratives, which explains the widespread skepticism surrounding her Instagram post.
The use of Billie Eilish’s name to position herself as a compassionate and empathetic figure was seen by many as nothing more than a transparent attempt to gain public favor. Lady C also noted that Meghan appears to lack the awareness to know when to step back and remain silent.
Taking her analysis a step further, Lady C questioned the details of the encounter, a factor Meghan and her PR team seemingly overlooked. If Meghan had indeed met the teenager and her mother in Altadena, where was the photographic evidence? The area was closed off to residents, and Harry and Meghan were under constant media and official supervision. Without any verifiable proof, the story quickly unraveled, leading to doubts about its authenticity. The lack of supporting footage only reinforced suspicions that this was yet another exaggerated tale, much like the infamous "near-catastrophic" car chase in New York City.
If Meghan had hoped to win back public sympathy with this anecdote, she was sorely mistaken. Social media users were quick to highlight inconsistencies in the timeline, particularly the fact that she flaunted the Billie Eilish merchandise before even reaching out to the alleged recipient. The entire sequence of events seemed implausible unless, of course, she was once again reconstructing reality to fit a more flattering narrative. Many found it concerning that a grown woman was behaving like a social media-obsessed teenager, with one notable observation pointing out that Meghan managed to reference herself 22 times in a two-minute clip. This self-absorbed approach only solidified her reputation as the undisputed queen of self-promotion.
Perhaps the most glaring misstep was that the Billie Eilish package wasn’t even addressed to Meghan—it was sent directly to the teenager. Meghan’s sole role was to pass it along, yet she could not resist making herself the focal point of the story. Rather than simply delivering the gift, she turned the moment into a personal showcase, complete with an orchestrated social media post. What made matters worse was her failure to acknowledge the real tragedy—that the girl’s family had lost everything. Instead, the emphasis remained on Meghan’s perceived kindness, as if she were the true benefactor rather than merely a messenger.
At this point, Meghan’s tendency to alter reality is no longer just an occasional slip—it has become a pattern. Each time she speaks, there is a carefully edited narrative, a strategic choice of words, and just enough ambiguity to prevent direct scrutiny. The way she mixes past and present tense when recounting events is often a telltale sign of a shifting storyline. She claimed to have met the girl, which, if true, would suggest she visited the burned-down home, feeding into the growing belief that she thrives on inserting herself into tragedies for personal gain.
By now, few people are surprised. Every Meghan Markle PR stunt seems to follow the same predictable formula: make a grand, self-congratulatory statement, ignore all inconsistencies, expect widespread admiration, and instead face public backlash.
