**Meghan Markle Sparks Controversy by Refusing to Wear Pendant from Vancouver Organization**

Meghan Markle faced criticism for allegedly disrespecting Vancouver locals associated with Justice for Girls (JFG) after declining to wear a pendant donated by the organization.

During a recent visit, Prince Harry accompanied her to the Vancouver-based organization that supports underprivileged teenage girls.

This marked their second visit to JFG in three years.

Established in 1999, JFG holds special status granted by the United Nations Economic and Social Council since 2009.

Despite Markle's longstanding advocacy for women's rights, she chose not to wear a golden diamond pendant gifted by a local jeweler and a tribal member during her earlier visit in January 2020.

Zoe Craig Sparrow, who interacted with the duchess during her visit, commented on the natural rapport and comfort exuded by Markle.

However, during her recent visit in 2023, Meghan opted not to wear the custom-made gold necklace, opting for alternative jewelry instead.

This decision raised questions about the pendant's significance and sparked discussions about her commitment to feminist ideals.

Comparisons were drawn to a past incident involving Catherine, who wore earrings from a bereaved mother on Mental Health Day, highlighting the potential impact of Markle's actions on the indigenous jeweler and the girls supported by JFG.

Concerns mounted over Meghan's apparent disregard for indigenous partners at the upcoming Invictus Games 2025, especially as she chose to wear a pink diamond ring instead of her engagement jewelry during the visit.

Critics argued that Markle should have recognized the importance of wearing items procured from locals she had collaborated with, akin to the late queen and royal staff.

Such gestures are viewed as crucial diplomatic acts, emphasizing a long-term commitment to the cause, a practice observed by Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, and their descendants.

However, skepticism surrounds Markle's involvement, with allegations suggesting her visits serve more as photo opportunities rather than substantial engagements.

In a recent development, Meghan Markle found herself embroiled in controversy surrounding her alleged association with UT Scope, an unofficial mouthpiece.

Commentator Matthew Lass shed light on claims that Markle and Prince Harry may have briefed Omid Scope, the couple's supposed mouthpiece, on stories against the royal family.

Lass expressed concerns about the situation, labeling it as desperate and hinting at diminishing returns.

He criticized the trend of royal biographies creating sensational narratives for profit and attention, suggesting a cycle of diminishing interest with each subsequent release.

During an interview with GB News, Markle hinted at potential revelations in Omid Scope's upcoming book, “Endgame,” which promises to provide a deep dive into the current state of the British monarchy.

The book is said to explore themes such as an unpopular king, a power-hungry heir to the throne, a queen willing to go to great lengths to protect her image, and a prince forced to forge a new path after feeling betrayed by his own family.

The unfolding saga involving Markle's alleged ties to UT Scope and the impending release of “Endgame” adds a new layer of complexity to the ongoing narrative surrounding the former royal couple.
