Meghan Markle’s Latest Move Reeks of ‘Desperation’ in ‘Make or Break Year’
Meghan Markle attended the most recent Invictus Games in Vancouver with Prince Harry. However, after a few days of taking in the competitions, the duchess left the event and flew back home to California. The reason given was that she wanted to get back to the couple’s two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Because the Duke of Sussex stayed in Canada until the Games concluded on Feb. 15 his wife sent him a loving post via social media while he was away. But some have taken issue not with what Meghan posted but when she posted it.
The timing of Meghan’s post was ‘cringy’ and shows ‘desperation,’ according to expert
The former Suits star took to her recently-relaunched Instagram account with a black-and-white photo of her and Harry kissing as they sit together at a table ready to eat.
The duchess captioned it: “Back home taking care of our babies, and missing my Valentine, as he continues on at the Invictus Games, changing lives and reminding all of us of the power of healing and resilience through these incredible veterans and their families. Beyond proud of my husband and what he’s created. My love, I will eat burgers & fries and fish & chips with you forever. Thank you for you.”
However, some royal watchers have a problem with when Meghan posted the snap to her Instagram.
Royal News Network’s expert Brittany called the timing of the post “very cringy” and shows her “desperation.”
“You’ve got to note that Meghan Markle’s post about Harry came shortly [after] Catherine and William, for the first time, posted a little Valentine’s Day picture,” Brittany said per Express. “You can really feel the desperation — it’s really starting to set in as 2025, we know for sure, is make it or break it for Harry and Meghan.”
The Sussexes have played this game for years
While some may argue that the timing could simply be a coincidence, others say it can’t be ignored that Meghan has a habit of posting something right after the Waleses do. It’s something she and Harry started doing years ago after they stepped down from their royal roles.
Whenever the duke’s relatives mark major milestones or host large events, the Sussexes try to steal the spotlight from the other royals and get their names back in the headlines by putting out pictures or news about their upcoming projects.
Some examples of this are when Meghan chose to do a soft launch of products for her lifestyle brand during the 2024 Trooping the Colour. A month later, it seemed Harry tried to upstage his nephew Prince George’s 11th birthday by announcing then that the 2027 Invictus Games would be held in Birmingham.
Another time was when Prince Harry picked the release date for his book Spare within a day of the Princess of Wales’ birthday. That was much like when the Sussexes decided to reveal their bombshell news that they were stepping down in 2020 on Jan. 8, the day before the princess’s actual birthday leaving no chance that anyone would be talking about Kate then.
