Megan Markle’s Mediterranean Misadventure: A Royal Faux Pas
In March 2015, Meghan Markle embarked on a trip to Malta, a journey that was meant to connect her with her ancestral roots.
Invited by the local tourist board, she spent two days exploring the birthplace of her great-great-grandmother.
The picturesque Mediterranean backdrop was perfect for a royal visit, but it seems not everything went according to plan.
One of the standout moments from her trip was captured in a striking image of Meghan donning a traditional gunella headdress during her visit to the stunning Casa Roccapicola Palace in Valletta.
The headdress, a symbol of local culture, was meant to signify her appreciation for her heritage.
However, it later emerged that the fabric of the headdress had been completely deviated from its frame, raising questions about how it was handled during the shoot.
Residents were left uncomfortable as they perceived Meghan's actions as hypocritical.
Despite being in a country with specific dress codes, Meghan reportedly disregarded these rules throughout her visit.
This behavior has sparked criticism among locals who felt she didn't respect their customs.
The professional cameraman who worked on the shoot painted a picture of a high-maintenance diva.
He recalled that Meghan arrived with an entourage and made several demands, including a strict prohibition on photographing her feet.
Her insistence on having expensive champagne during the shoot only added to the perception of her being difficult.
Witnesses described her demeanor as rude and demanding.
The videographer noted that Meghan had a reputation for being challenging to work with even before her royal days.
Colleagues warned him to brace himself, as she was known to act like a princess, which was evident from the moment she arrived.
When she walked in wearing a baseball cap and hiding her face, it was clear she wanted to maintain a low profile, much like a celebrity avoiding paparazzi.
This behavior left an impression on the crew, many of whom were taken aback by her attitude.
It was as if she was playing a part rather than simply being herself.
Critics have not held back in their assessments of Meghan's acting career, labeling her as an F-list actress largely thanks to her role in the TV series “Suits.”
Royal commentator Mary Madigan weighed in on this, suggesting that without Prince Harry, Meghan might not have achieved the fame she enjoys today.
Madigan humorously speculated about Meghan's future, implying that she might have to transition from a so-called “lazy philanthropist” to a social media influencer.
This shift, she argued, is far from glamorous and likely to draw laughter from Kate Middleton, who might find the situation amusing from her royal residence.
Before meeting Prince Harry, Meghan was often characterized as just another actress, perhaps destined for Hallmark movies or dating a retired athlete.
Madigan's comments reflect a broader sentiment about Meghan's rise to fame and the scrutiny she faces in the public eye.
As Meghan continues to navigate her life post-royalty, the memories of her Malta trip serve as a reminder of the complexities that come with being in the spotlight.
Whether it's embracing her roots or managing public perception, one thing is certain: Meghan Markle's journey is anything but ordinary.
