Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, recently held a high-profile event in Indianapolis, but it seems her presence did not sit well with everyone.
The event, titled “Power of Women: An Evening with Meghan,” took place at a Marriott hotel in the dead of winter.
While it was seen as a significant occasion for the state of Indiana, social media users were quick to criticize the Duchess.
One person on social media commented, “This is not a PR win for the Sussexes.
She’s celebrating Christmas at a hotel near the airport, for goodness’ sake!”
Another user wrote, “She claims to be a woman of power, yet she relies on her husband’s family title for attention.
She has tried to vilify and damage them, just as she has done to her own family.”
Interestingly, the event coincided with the visit of Prince William and Catherine, who were heading to the United States to meet with President Joe Biden.
One online commenter pointed out that Meghan’s event seemed like an attempt to overshadow the royal visit.
It appears that the competition between the two camps is still ongoing.
Unfortunately, guests were not allowed to take any pictures during the event.
However, Meghan’s close friend, Omid Scobie, shared several photos on Twitter, including tables adorned with framed pictures of the Duchess herself.
Some attendees seemed more engrossed with these photos than with Meghan’s speech.
Diana Eppers-Encora, a commentator on the event, remarked that Meghan flew into Indianapolis on a private plane and spent only a few hours there.
She held an exclusive dinner, where attendees paid up to $5,000 to sit at her table.
Surprisingly, the empty seats were occupied by the Girl Scouts, while Meghan left the hotel three hours after landing, boarding her private jet once again.
It seems that Meghan’s popularity is waning, as fewer people are interested in hearing her speak.
As attendees left the event, YouTuber P. Dina interviewed them, and they revealed that Meghan’s main message was to encourage people to use their voice.
For her cult-like followers, this seemed to be a deeply spiritual experience.
However, critics compared it to appreciating “Fifty Shades of Grey” as a literary masterpiece.
Meghan, who gained fame as a podcaster, has been criticized for only producing 12 episodes in two years.
After her speaking engagement at the Marriott, she was seen boarding a private jet from the cult’s private hangar.
Despite claiming to fight against carbon emissions, Meghan’s actions seem contradictory.
In 2019, she faced backlash for using private jets four times in just 11 days.
Two years later, she announced her commitment to achieving net-zero emissions.
It is ironic that she spent more time emitting carbon dioxide during her short stay in Indianapolis than she did actually engaging with the city and its residents.
Rather than exploring the city’s attractions, such as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway or the Kurt Vonnegut Museum, Meghan chose to make a quick exit.
Some suggested she could have visited the Indianapolis Zoo and posed with animals for social media.
However, it seems she had no interest in immersing herself in the local culture.
Her departure was swift, leaving many in Indianapolis feeling disappointed and overlooked.
In conclusion, Meghan Markle’s power event in Indianapolis stirred controversy and raised questions about her true intentions.
While she aimed to empower women with her speech, critics argue that her actions contradict her words.
As the Duchess continues to navigate her post-royal life, it remains to be seen how her public image will evolve.
