This particular gathering featured Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as they took part in a panel discussion organized by the Rwall Foundation. It was a part of the second annual Mental Health Awareness Festival hosted by the nonprofit organization Projects Healthy Minds.
Behind-the-scenes accounts of this event have raised eyebrows among many of the attendees. Most of the people gathered around Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had previously met the couple during a prior function. The U.S. Surgeon General, who arrived ahead of others and appeared somewhat displeased, was also present.
The first eyebrow-raising moment occurred when Meghan's choice of attire was deemed unconventional by onlookers. However, it soon became evident that her outfit was not a fashion misstep but a well-thought-out strategy.
A photographer, who seemed to be present for archival purposes, quickly turned out to be part of a premeditated photo session orchestrated by Meghan. Notably, only moments featuring Meghan were singled out for photography.
Things took an even more perplexing turn when the U.S. Surgeon General, well-versed in customary event protocol, attempted a standard photo opportunity. However, the photographer appeared confused, resulting in an awkward interaction. At this point, a coordinator from Archwell WME stepped in, directing both the Surgeon General and Meghan to hold their positions. Meghan was placed at the center of the photograph, clearly indicating her intention to take the spotlight, even overshadowing the pristine white tablecloths.
Moments after the photo was taken, Meghan's true intentions came to light. She was overheard by a few nearby individuals asserting to the Surgeon General that the photographer was her personal photographer, not there for the benefit of the guests or the event itself. Meghan tried to insert herself into ongoing conversations that others were having. When her efforts were not met with immediate success, there were instances where her voice was raised to garner attention, a tactic that didn't go unnoticed by the other attendees.
Additionally, Meghan was subtly and persistently competing for the limelight. At one point, a lady from Archwell WME intervened once more, guiding Meghan toward another group for conversation.
The event featured Dr. Vic Murthy, a prominent figure with whom parents wanted to share their stories and who addressed issues related to children and the internet. For some, the presence of Meghan and Harry at the event appeared to be an attempt to capitalize on the gathering for personal gain.
Meghan's choice of attire, seemingly styled for a cocktail hour, starkly contrasted with the formal business attire worn by others, making her stand out at an event that called for a different dress code. Her fashion choice was seen by many as a misstep, a recurring mistake on Meghan's part, where she opts for glamour or opulence rather than adhering to the appropriate level of formality.
It's important to note that Meghan's clothing choices often attract attention for the wrong reasons, as she seems to overlook the significance of dressing in a manner that suits the occasion. In contrast, Catherine's attire is often praised not for its design or price tag, but for its appropriateness for the given situation and event.
Experts in the field generally agreed that Meghan lacked the expertise to make significant contributions to matters of mental health. Her claims of being a social worker were scrutinized, especially given that her mother, Doria, had no license to practice as a social worker in California.
