Meghan Markle

Meghan Markle has been accused of public relations and hype about tragedy. Yesterday, the Duchess of Sussex arrived in Uvalde, Texas, where a mass murder was committed this week: On May 24, an 18-year-old gunman opened fire on an elementary school. As a result, according to the latest information, 19 children and two teachers lost their lives.

According to People, Markle’s visit was unannounced. Prince Harry’s wife, dressed in jeans and a baseball cap, arrived to lay flowers at a makeshift memorial to the victims of the shooting. According to her spokesperson, Meghan decided to visit the scene “on her own initiative as a mother, to offer her condolences to the community experiencing unimaginable grief.”

Markle also visited a community center where blood donations are made. He brought drinks, sandwiches, and desserts for donors there, according to BuzzFeed. One of the volunteers working at the center says:

The act of the Duchess of Sussex caused a storm of criticism on social networks. The main claim of the commentators: Markle, who allegedly wanted to remain anonymous, caught the attention of the press and was surrounded by photographers while laying flowers on the monument. According to some users, “showing up with a bunch of bodyguards and photographers is just too much in Markle’s way of thinking about herself only.”

The duchess’ father, Thomas Markle, recently suffered a stroke. British media reported that Meghan did not visit or even call her father at the hospital. This also triggered a hateful stream of comments against Markle.

However, opinions are divided: other commentators, by contrast, see the Duchess’s arrival in Texas as an act worthy of respect. User @TudorChick1501 commented:

Commenter @kdlc99 points out that it’s better for the public to think about more important issues:

Prince Harry and his wife have not been seen in Texas. The press writes that the Duchess of Sussex was accompanied by the head of the security service on a trip.
