Oh boy, here we go again—Meghan Markle and Prince Harry gracing us with their *selfless* presence in Pasadena, California, where they supposedly showed up to help victims of the wildfires. On January 10th, the Sussexes, living a mere 90 miles north of LA, decided to graciously visit World Central Kitchen in Pasadena, with the mission to help distribute food and supplies to the victims of the devastating wildfires. Well, sort of.

They didn’t really do much aside from playing dress-up in the role of concerned humanitarian royalty.

Picture this: They show up with cameras in tow and not one, not two, but three bodyguards flanking them like they’re the most famous and endangered people on the planet. But wait, it gets better. According to *People* magazine, Harry and Meghan were there “discreetly supporting relief efforts.” Oh, absolutely—they were so discreet, in fact, that local news outlets couldn’t help but capture every moment on film. This included shots of Meghan touching a few cans and awkwardly hugging people. How brave. How noble. Truly, the spirit of giving is alive and well when you make sure the cameras catch every second of your “work” and bring an entourage of bodyguards along for the ride.

The mayor of Pasadena, Victor Gordo, even chimed in with some glowing comments about their spirit, saying how Harry and Meghan really “buoyed the spirits of the first responders.” Well, sure—if by “buoyed,” you mean they walked around aimlessly, talked to a few people, and made sure they were seen by every camera within a 5-mile radius. The real heroes were the first responders doing the actual work, not the two PR-hungry royals just showing up to look like they care.

Let’s talk about Meghan’s mask—yeah, the one hanging off her neck like some sort of accessory because she’s clearly too famous to wear it properly. Please—if she wanted anonymity, she would have kept it on. But, who’s kidding who?

The mask was a prop because no one knows how to work a camera angle like Meghan Markle. It’s like she saw the news crew and thought, “Oh, I have to make it look like I’m trying to go incognito, but also not too much because I have an image to maintain.”

Now, let’s get to the real comedy gold. While Harry actually managed to have some small talk with the people there—who, to be fair, were probably just being polite—Meghan looked like a fish out of water. She was constantly fidgeting, looking around for someone to talk to, and of course, leaning in for those iconic hugs.

Who needs to actually do anything useful when you can just hug people for the cameras, right? It’s like she was auditioning for an Oscar in the *Overacting in a Crisis* category. She even tried to help at the soda station, but the first lady she approached literally walked right past her. Awkward.

And let’s not forget the bodyguards hovering around, keeping a clear shot for the cameras. Of course, why else would they be there? To protect Meghan from the devastation, or perhaps to protect her Cartier bracelet from being ripped off by someone who’s lost everything in the fires? The whole thing is just too much.

The bodyguards were practically the unsung heroes, making sure that Meghan’s every move was documented in high-definition glory.

Oh, and the grand finale: The couple wrapped up their day by visiting José Andrés at the food stations to praise the relief teams. Meanwhile, Meghan was still working the camera like it was her full-time job—hugging, chatting, and pretending to be an integral part of the whole operation.

And let’s not forget the pièce de résistance: Harry standing in the background with his hands in his pockets, doing his best to avoid being the latest victim of Meghan’s “claw.”

It’s almost as if they think that by showing up, looking concerned, and hugging people, they can erase the fact that their entire existence is built on exploiting tragic events for publicity.

Imagine being someone who’s lost everything and being met with this—a wannabe celebrity pretending to be part of the solution while making it all about herself. The whole thing reeks of opportunism, and frankly, it’s exhausting to watch.
