Megan Markle’s visit “deeply problematic” in Texas, branded as an ugly “PR trick”

Megan Markle’s visit “deeply problematic” in Texas, branded as an ugly “PR trick”

Megan Markle flew to Texas this week to pay tribute to children shot at Rob Elementary School.

The Duchess went incognito to attend the funeral service with a baseball cap and daily toilet. A spokesman for the Sussex family said Megan had made the trip as a “mother”.

The Duchess shares children Archie and Lilibet with Prince Harry.

While many have called it a gesture of kindness, other users of the network have raised questions about Megan’s visit, describing it as a PR ploy.

Royal critic Daniela Elser is now commenting on the constitution while writing for news.com.au.

She wrote: “Let me say that I have no doubt that her heart aches, like millions of others in the United States and around the world, at the thought of such an indescribable loss.

“What is not debatable is how sincere or how strong her feelings can be here – not in the least.

“But what’s deeply problematic is that this trip seems awful as an attempt to co-opt an unimaginable tragedy for one’s own PR gain.

“The biggest question here is what Megan thought would happen when she rolled into Texas.” “She is far from a girl in the woods when it comes to understanding how the press works, and she certainly knew that her performance in a small Texas town would always cause a media storm and be a great distraction from the bigger problems in the game.

“So why should I leave? What did he think he could achieve by going there?

“This was not a time when Megan’s presence could help highlight a neglected issue or draw national media attention to a forgotten community.
