A former friend of Meghan Markle has criticised her recent appearance at the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital gala, claiming it was mainly for publicity. The friend, who attended the event, said Meghan didn’t receive a warm welcome and seemed focused on getting photos rather than supporting the cause.

Royal watchers should note that many people in LA feel misled by the Duchess. They pointed out that public opinion has changed since the Sussexes criticised the royal family. Meghan’s team later issued important statements about her attendance in the gala event. To find out what statements they made, keep scrolling.

Ex-Pal’s Sharp Critique Of Duchess Of Sussex

Recently, Meghan Markle’s former friend has slammed her current appearance at the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital (CHLA) gala. It was suggested that her appearance was mainly for publicity. The event occurred on October 05, 2024, at the L.A. Live Event Deck. Meghan was seen on the red carpet with close friend Kelly McKee Zajfen. Lizzie Cundy, a British socialite and radio host, questioned the sincerity of Meghan’s attendance.

She stated that there wasn’t a great deal of warmth from people when she arrived. According to her, she wasn’t there long as she seemed to be there for the photographs. Cundy noted that many in LA feel “played” by the Duchess of Sussex. She pointed out that public opinion has shifted since Meghan and Prince Harry criticised the royal family, which remains well-liked in the city.

Cundy also shared that she and Meghan were once close friends, having met at a charity gala in 2013. However, their friendship deteriorated after Meghan got engaged to Prince Harry, leading Cundy to say that she ghosted her once the engagement hit.

This comment highlights Meghan’s tendency to cut off contact with people in her life. In response to the backlash, Meghan’s team later issued statements explaining her reasons for attending the gala.

The Duchess of Sussex’s website stated that her participation was to celebrate the exceptional services provided to children across Los Angeles. It emphasized Meghan’s long-term connection with CHLA, mentioning her past visits to meet patients and her involvement in the annual “Make March Matter” campaign.
