Meghan Markle has stirred up fresh controversy in the UK after her recent appearance at a book club event hosted by Oprah Winfrey.
A New Chapter
During the gathering, Meghan delivered an unexpectedly personal speech about entering a "new chapter" in her life, coinciding with the second anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's death, a timing many found inappropriate, according to SE.
The 42-year-old former actress and wife of Prince Harry took to the microphone and expressed her optimism, saying:
“I view this time in my life as a time of joy. The more you can really recognize and be grateful for your life, the more you must appreciate all its aspects.”
Her speech was set against the backdrop of her husband’s autobiography, which featured his photo prominently on display.
Critics quickly pointed out that addressing such a personal milestone on the anniversary of the Queen’s passing was tactless. Many in the UK expressed their outrage over what they saw as an insensitive choice.
Largely Unnoticed
The couple's efforts to establish themselves in the United States have been met with mixed results, with various business ventures failing to gain traction. Meghan’s recent endeavors, including a jam company, have also gone largely unnoticed.
The Sussexes seem to frequently resort to public speaking engagements to maintain their visibility in the media.
This latest incident adds to the ongoing tension between Meghan, Harry, and the British royal family, which has been a subject of intense media scrutiny since their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
During that interview, they made serious allegations of racism within the royal family, which have since complicated their relationships with their relatives. As Meghan and Harry continue to navigate their new life, the public remains keenly interested in their every move, often leading to significant backlash.
