Meghan Markle was targeted for choosing to fly to Texas to attend a memorial for the Uvalde school shooting, rather than visiting her ailing father.

The Duchess, 40, placed a bouquet of white roses at the memorial outside Robb Primary School where 21 people, including 19 children, were shot and killed.

Just two hours away, his father Thomas, 77, was in a hospital bed after suffering a severe stroke.

“Couldn’t he just take a page from the queen’s book and see how he should behave, as long as he doesn’t visit his father, at the end of the day he had a severe stroke?

“Couldn’t she find the strength in her heart to forgive him and visit him? Did he come this far, though?
