Kate Middleton made her first public appearance on Saturday at ‘Trooping the Colour’ since her cancer announcement in March. It is an annual military parade held in central London to mark King Charles’s birthday. Ahead of her public appearance, she shared a note giving updates of her cancer treatment as well. It was, no doubt, Kate’s moment as the world was eager to get a glimpse of her but hours before Kate’s appearance, Meghan Markle launched two new lifestyle products — stealing the limelight from the Princess of Wales.
A close friend of Meghan Markle, Nacho Figueras unveiled those new products from the Duchess of Sussex’s kitty — a new raspberry jam and dog treats.
Though Meghan did not share the updates on her own, critics found her scheme all over the timing of those announcements and concluded that Nacho, one of Prince Harry’s close friends and polo teammates, would not have posted those without a go-ahead from Meghan.
‘Catty and unnecessary’
Meghan Markle has been slammed on social media for her ‘pathetic’ attempt to steal the limelight. Critics termed the move as “catty'” and “unnecessary” hours before Princess Kate’s big return.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield told GB News that this was not a coincidence but a well-thought out move on Meghan’s part to take attention away from Kate. “Harry and Megan burn lots of bridges. You don’t go posting some a gift from Megan Markle without permission from Megan Markle…Obviously Nacho had permission from Harry and Megan to post. And it just seemed really catty and unnecessary to do it right when we were having Katherine’s big return,” she said.
The Daily Beast cited a source and reported that Meghan did not order up the post from Figueras and had no input over it. “Of course, ceding exact control over context and timings is an inherent risk in a user-led social media campaign, especially when your cheerleaders are powerful celebrities in their own right who might not react well to having their posts micro-managed,” the report said.
