Meghan’s Motives Under Fire as Former Friend Lizzie Cundy Claims She Was ‘There for the Photographs

Over the weekend, the Duchess of Sussex attended a charitable event in Los Angeles aimed at recognizing the commendable efforts of the Children’s Hospital LA. The event, held on Saturday, saw Meghan Markle arrive in a striking red gown that quickly stole the show. However, not everyone was impressed by her appearance.

Lizzie Cundy, an old friend of Meghan’s, made bold claims about the Duchess’s intentions in attending the event. In an interview with The Mail, Cundy stated, “There wasn’t a great deal of warmth from people when she arrived.” The socialite further alleged that Meghan’s presence at the event was purely for publicity. “She was there for the photographs,” Cundy remarked, implying that the Duchess’s attendance was more about maintaining her image than supporting the cause.

Cundy did not hold back in her critique, going on to claim that Meghan’s relationship with Los Angeles is one of convenience. “Meghan needs LA more than LA needs her. LA people feel they’ve been played by her,” she said. According to Cundy, the people of LA, once enamored with Meghan and Prince Harry due to their royal connections, now view them differently.

Reflecting on the couple’s declining popularity in the city, Cundy explained that the Duke and Duchess were initially well-received when they moved to LA, largely because of their ties to the British royal family. However, she believes that their subsequent criticism of the royal institution led to a shift in public perception. “They bad-mouthed the royals and lost their respect as the key royal figures loved in LA,” she claimed.

The comments from Cundy highlight the ongoing speculation surrounding Meghan’s motives and the challenges the couple faces as they navigate their lives outside of the royal family. While Meghan’s supporters praise her for her charitable efforts and her bold fashion choices, critics like Cundy suggest that the former working royal may be struggling to maintain her relevance in Hollywood.

The event was intended to celebrate the hard work of those at the Children’s Hospital LA, but it appears that Meghan’s presence has sparked debate and controversy once again, as questions linger about her motives and the couple’s standing in their new community. Whether Meghan’s attendance was a genuine show of support or a calculated move for publicity remains a topic of speculation among royal watchers and LA insiders alike.
