Just a month and a half passed since Meghan Markle He has opened his new Instagram profile and is already submerged by criticism. To infuriate the social people, this time, it was a video in which the Duchess told the small gesture made for a girl who lost everything during the fire Angeles fires. Many interpreted the movie as the umpteenth attempt by the Duchess to show off at all costs, without taking care of the suffering of others.
Billie Eilish’s shirt
On February 4, Meghan published on his personal Instagram profile a video of one minute and thirty -six seconds in which he told the story of a fifteen -year -old victim of the fires that devastated Los Angeles in January 2025. The Duchess and the Prince Harry They met her together with other teenagers during the visit to the places affected by fires on 11 January. In the meghan movie he explained that the house where the girl lived with her mother is reduced to a pile of rubble. Among the many memories lost there is also a shirt of Billie Eilish to which the very young kept a lot and who had put in the washing machine before having to escape. “… their home, their washing machine … are ash. There are no more “said Meghan who, however, did not give up, ensuring: “I don’t know Billie Eilish, but I will find a way to get you the shirt.” The Duchess contacted her friends and, in the end, Adam Levine dei Maroon 5 with his wife, Behati Prinsloo, acted as a link, informing the Eilish of the situation. The singer sent several objects to Meghan, including an autographed vinyl of the Hit Me Hard and Soft (2024) album and the T -shirts.
Solidarity or self -centeredness?
“I don’t even know what all this stuff means … it’s at times like what I feel old”joked the duchessobserving merchandising. Finally he thanked Billie Eilish, Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo for their availability and kindness. The gesture of Meghan, however, has divided the international press both the users of social networks. Some have interpreted him as a simple demonstration of solidarity and affection, while others insisted on the idea that the Duchess would have been so much to be done only to be the center of attention, regain popularity and reconstruct a sweet and charitable image later the recurring accusations of bullying.
“Vulgar and insensitive”
Many reproach the ex -actress to have flaunted an act of generosity that had to remain private, for advertising on the pain of a girl who lost everything. On x the journalist Dan Wootton wrote: “The main pain tourist Meghan Markle got free of merchandising from Billie Eilish for a teen affected by the fires of Los Angeles and indeed, he made us an entire, presumptuous Instagram video”. Finally the lunge: “The most insensitive and vulgar celebrity on the planet. I’m embarrassed for her. “ In his comment Wootton resumed the words and thought of the American actress Justine Bateman, who in the aftermath of the visit of the Sussex The victims of the bonfires declared on X: “Meghan Markle and Harry are not better than the jackals. What a disgusting photo shoot have made. Are they visiting the places of damage as tourists? Are they politicians now? They don’t live here. They are tourists. Disaster tourists “.
Negative comments
Criticisms do not end there. Under Dan Wootton’s post, a user wrote: “(Meghan) He should have made this gesture kind and not to say a word. His side in need of attention should disappear … “ Because, according to the author of the comment, the impression is that the Duchess is communicating to the public an self -centered message: “Look at me, I’m not big?” In the video Meghan appears without make -up and with loose hair, wearing a black sweatshirt that brings two writings on the collar, the names of its children Archie And Lilibet Diana. After noticing the detail, another user stressed: “Are you using the disaster to give a preview of the shirts with the names of the children on the collar that is about to put for sale?”. A third said: “He is taking advantage of the tragedy as an advertising stunt”. Another, even more perfidiously, said: “Which staff bullied to do the (movie) and how many filming did we want to get it? …”. Another one: “The real victim here is Meghan, because he doesn’t have enough attention. Forget the people who have lost everything: the real tragedy would be if she could not grasp the time to shine …”.
Where are Billie Eilish and Adam Levine?
After the publication of the post Adam Levine And Billie Eilish remained silent. A deafening silence, it would be said. According to the Daily Mail, in fact, the two artists would be “opposed” due to the video published by Meghan. Richard Eden, Tabloid editor explained to the Podcast Palace Confidential: “Usually famous people don’t like to celebrate this type of thing, if they perform a charitable action, they try to keep it reserved. It is significant that Billie Wilish and Adam Levine … have not published anything on social media. I wonder if in reality Billie Eilish is very happy with Meghan’s split … “. In this regard, the journalist Jo Elvin told an anecdote about the confidentiality of the Eilish: “When I worked for a charity that dealt with the fight against cancer (Billie Eilish) he made a video for a little girl and we were expressly asked us not to put him on social media …”.
“Lack of self -awareness”
According to Richard Eden Meghan would be “Looking for material to put” On his Instagram profile and the story of the girl who lost her favorite fire shirt in Los Angeles would represent an opportunity to be grasped on the fly. On this way, the real expert said, the Duchess of Sussex would have “Ostentatious” the fact of having assured the merchandising of Billie Eilish and “Exhibited” Famous names such as Adam Levine and Eilish itself. An expedient to cloak up with glamor and a very direct way to communicate to those who follow her on the social network that her role in the star system is well defined and made even stronger by friendships, by the right contacts, let’s call them that. “I believe that the biggest problem of Meghan is the lack of self -awareness”pointed out Charlotte Griffiths of the Daily Mail in Palace Confidential. “He seemed to act by.”
A simplicity … calculated
According to experts, Meghan’s appearance would also be an artifice. The Duchess was shown to the public “Without makeup to create an informal look”said Griffiths and loose hair would be “Have been placed” to appear completely natural. Another important detail is the environment: only a few parts are visible in the movie, the fragments of the private life of the Sussex. The Duchess would have been “Very careful not to show his home, as we know is very discreet as regards his home and corner” that we see in the video “It was accurately organized”, He commented on the expert again, concluding: “… I would have liked to see how many times she practiced before doing it”. In fact, at the center of the video there is always Meghan, who deliberately seems to want to hide as much as possible, through the large gestures and the repositioning of the video camera, of the place where he chose to live with Harry and the children. An accortness dictated by the desire to privacybut also a stratagem to have the complete attention of those who watch the video.
A movie that “cries consumerism”
Alexander Larman of The Spectator, mentioned by the Daily Mail, highlighted another important aspect of the movie, which he finds “Disgustly forced” And “theatrical”: “Consumerism and false cries: two things that the Duchess has now closely associated with herself”. Meghan shows us some t-shirta disc, a box that looks like a lunch holder. All very beautiful and colorful, but they are only objects. What is the message? What does this movie leave us? Where is Meghan’s personality beyond his enthusiastic expressions and his ways that appear sliced? In other words, why did he shoot the video? To talk to us about the girl or even about herself? There will certainly be the best intentions, but the method of realization and the result would leave some doubts. The impression would often be to be faced with a large gift package elegantly wrapped, but inside which there is nothing. As if we had a golden and shimmering patina in front of it, but which is immediately gratting it, revealing a gray surface. Perhaps ours is the era of superficiality, in which we must perform at all costs, but this cannot become a justification to tell the world and people as if we lived in a dollhouse.
Nothing “to boast of”
Some argue that the Duchess would have the habit of making apparently grandiose gestures and building over a narrative of which she is the only protagonist. “Do you think it’s enough to make her a good person, a perfect person”the dose Charlotte Griffiths has raised the dose. Only that a Meghan they would miss constancy, consistency and humility to understand that “The real charity is not something to boast of”.
Because if this were the case we would betray the true nature of philanthropy, transforming it into a competition. And if it becomes a race with others, it cannot represent us, because it does not allow us to be and express ourselves, but forces us to approve ourselves. Then we have already lost.
