Meghan Markle is at it again. Just when you think the Sussex PR train might run out of steam, here comes another carefully crafted moment.

This time, it’s a tear-jerking tribute to her late dog, Guy, who reportedly passed away sometime in the past nine months. But wait—don’t you dare think this is just about Guy, because it’s really not.

First off, Meghan’s Instagram tribute is dripping with drama. The montage features heartwarming clips of Guy snuggling with Meghan, being doted on by Harry, and even sharing moments with their kids.

There’s melancholy music, a singalong, and, of course, a subtle plug for her Netflix series. Meghan claims she cried “too many tears to count” for her “sweet Guy.” She even penned this gem: “Thank you for so many years of unconditional love.” As ever, Meghan signs off a dog tribute like it’s a8 press release.

The over-the-top dramatics of crying in the shower to process her grief feel so on-brand for someone who seems to think every moment of her life deserves a close-up.

While the tribute is technically about Guy, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was Meghan’s highlight reel. She shoehorns in details about how Guy was with her during her *Suits* days, her engagement, her wedding, and, naturally, her time as a mom.

It’s less about honoring the dog and more about reminding us that Meghan Markle has done a lot of important things. Oh, and let’s not forget the strategic “adopt, don’t shop” message. It’s a noble sentiment, but coming from someone who can turn even a beagle into a PR prop, let’s just say it feels a bit hollow.

Here’s where it gets shady. Lady C dropped a bombshell on her YouTube channel, pointing out that filming for Meghan’s Netflix series wrapped in April 2024. That means Guy’s death could have happened anytime in the past nine months.

Yet here we are, conveniently learning about it just as Meghan’s being roasted for her Netflix trailer flop. Coincidence? Doubtful. Let’s be real—this isn’t the first time Meghan has used a personal tragedy to deflect bad press. The timing screams, “Hey, stop criticizing my show and look how sad I am instead.”

And speaking of shady, what’s with the vague mention of Guy’s terrible accident? Both of his legs were in casts right before Meghan moved to the UK, but she’s never elaborated on what actually happened. It’s almost as if she wants to keep some mystery alive to tug at our heartstrings without inviting too many questions.Now, let’s be clear: losing a pet is devastating. Guy sounds like a genuinely sweet dog who endured a lot before finding a home with Meghan. He didn’t deserve to have his death turned into a promotional tool for a Netflix series. RIP to the pup—you’re free now, buddy. Run wild in doggo heaven where no one uses you for clout.

 

Meghan’s tribute is like a performance wrapped in a PR strategy, sprinkled with a dash of “look at me.” It’s hard to feel genuine sympathy when everything she does seems calculated for maximum attention. Lady C is right: this reeks of a sympathy play to distract from her ongoing media disasters.

To Meghan Markle: we see through it. Your dog deserved a heartfelt, authentic tribute, not a staged moment to prop up your brand. Maybe next time, let the memory of a loved one, human or furry, stand on its own without the Netflix logo looming in the background.
