Uvalde, Texas Parents Left Shocked Over Meghan Markle’s Memorial Photo Op

Was it really that necessary to take photos of the entire ordeal? Maybe, maybe not. British Royal News says there’s a new report that says parents of the survivors of the Uvalde, Texas shooting have been left shocked over the fact that Meghan Markle decided to fly in and pay her respects to the victims that died in last week’s mass shooting. A shooter entered an elementary school and shot dead 19 children and 2 adults in what is being called the worst mass school shooting in over a decade. Here’s what you need to know.

Uvalde, Texas Parents Left Shocked Over Meghan Markle’s Memorial Photo Op

Royal biographer Angela Levin, who often criticizes a lot of what Prince Harry and Meghan Markle say and do, made it pretty clear that Meghan dropping in unannounced was probably not a good idea. She said, “It becomes all about her, as usual. I thought it was terrible and I heard the parents are shocked.”

And while Meghan’s trip was unannounced, a lot of people believe it shouldn’t have happened to begin with. Of course, it didn’t take long at all for both her fans and followers to weigh in on the matter. Many of them wrote, “Parents would have been fuming, I wud. She’s trying to do what Catherine did when she went 2 Sarah’s vigil, they hardly even new Catherine was there, that’s how it’s really done,  but Catherine cares, that other 1 doesn’t,” along with, “MM’s lack of basic common sense is amazing.  Most people would have the good sense to not use the memorial site of a national tragedy as an opportunity for self promotion, but not MM.  She goes for it & it backfires, big.”

British Royal News: Should Meghan Have Stayed Home?

Another critic wrote, “I totally agree with everything you have said about MM. My heart and prayers go out to the parents & families of these children & two adults. Tragic and sickening. Our elected officials need to FINALLY DO SOMETHING!”

So far Meghan Markle herself has not made any comments about the criticism although at this point, it’s doubtful that she will.

      Outrageous behavior once again. MM should not have flown to Texas. She made a mockery of a horrific tragedy. The only rationale given: MM is a Mother. Millions and millions of women all over
      the world are mothers. MM’s action was simply a publicity stunt, yet another action of a delusional woman that has an overinflated opinion of herself. She merely wants to portray herself as a leader in one of her many causes. This time it’s guns, death and grieving parents. More importantly is her desire to be considered the only royal kind enough to acknowledge the recent tragedy in Texas. She is a vile, despicable human being.

      I think she should have left the film crew at home and then it might have looked a bit more sincere

    • Terri

      Yes, you mite have but you probably wouldn’t have your own photo ops there so you could publicize it!

  • Kathy wright

    She such a degrace nothing she does should surprise people at thisanymore. She is an attention Wh—…

  • Becky

    She should NOT have gone. If she wanted to pay her respects, there would NOT have been a camera crew. Disrespectful and self centered

  • Debbie

    If MM wanted to show her respect, she should not have taken a photographer with her! What she’s really saying is “Look at me! I’m showing my respect and I want to be noticed doing it. See the pictures? That’s me!” Sad enough that the families are mourning their loved ones, then have this inconsiderate female taking photo opts!
    Wish she’d go back to the UK. The majority of the U SA doesn’t want her and Harry here, making false claims about their abused lives. They are inconsiderate liars…

  • Vicky

    She went to pay her respects to the kids and the 2 teachers. Don’t criticize her for being there. Who ever is saying this you should be ashamed of yourself. And if you don’t like her keep it to yourself. Remember she’s a mother.

    Megan went to pay her respect as a mother of small children. It hurt this whole country and world. She dressed down and had a mask. She even volunteered to serve food and bought multiple trays of food. She left before more press came and half the volunteers didn’t even know it was her. Read the story of a head volunteer.

    exactly Lisa💯💯💯

    MM just wanted to show her respects to those who’ve perished. She’s a mom, a human and just like the rest of us, she wanted to show her support. If princess Diana would have done that it would be ok. If Oprah did it, it would be OK,
    Don’t be so judgemental. She is a lady of the people.

  • Veronica Hodges

    First of all, MM didn’t want people to know she was there!!!! The photographers that took pictures, were ALREADY there! So, please tell me how this was a “photo op”. People will steal every ounce of decency from a person’s good deed by reading into something that isn’t there. She did the right thing for the wrong people. Unbelievable. Get a grip people. She was being sincere and got attacked for it. SMH

    I was really shocked to see Megan Markle paying her respects to those who had died in the terrible school shooting in America. Who on earth does she think she is? We were all shocked and deeply saddened by the shooting, but to go all the way there for a photo opportunity is just over the top publicity for herself……..not the children, but herself. I just hope she doesn’t try to take over the day that should be all about Queen Elizabeth. NOT Megan Markle.

    I’m sorry! But could not care less about, M.M OR P.H. They are a decrease, as far as I’m concerned. They have know respect for there family’s. What happens in your family stays in your family. You don’t put your dirty laundry out for the world to see. There is know respect what so ever on eather side, with those two.

    This one time I think Megan should stay away from the public eye. It would have been great if she had sent a reply to each family how sorry she was for their pain. Of course, she is in the public eye more than everyone else and people will focus in her just to see her.
    AS for going to London I think she should stay back where she will not be focus on because we all know the cameras, will be following her just to see her. Megan and Harry are so in the public eye they want to see her, and a lot do not.
    When she will be near the Queen, I am afraid it will be Megan’s day and not
    Queen Elizabeth wherever Megan will be.

    I just hope and pray the press will put Megan and Harry out of there mind and just let it be
    QUEEN Elizabeth’s DAY ONLY.

    WHAT A WONDERFUL LIFE SHE HAD AND THE HISTORY SHE WILL SHARE FOR ALL GENERATIONS TO COME.

    GOD BLESS ALL

    If they wish to live in exile, why don’t they do that? she just wants as much press as she
    can get. She is a horror show. She married a Prince and still isn’t happy! she needs to change him! Haha! Good grief!

  • Maz

    She went there to pay her respect to the parents of the children taken. Get off her case.

  • Vi

    MM is only about her. Total narcissist.
    She had no busses going to Texas. Her being there for self engrandment is a insult to the poor suffering parents.
