Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were met with boos and angry demonstrators on the first stop of their mini-tour.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Were Branded 'Fake Royals'
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were met with boos last night whilst arriving hand in hand for Meghan’s first address in the UK. It is Meghan's first speech in the country since stepping down from royal duties two years ago. A crowd gathered outside the One Young World as they were driven 200 yards from their hotel to the youth gala at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall. As they got out of their car some booed and held up anti-royal placards at the couple. One protester was seen holding a sign that read: “FO Harry and Me-Gain Fake Royals”.
One Demonstrator Branded Meghan Markle A 'Toxic' And 'Divisive'
An angry protester called Janet, who lives in Manchester, was infuriated by Meghan's presence in the city.
“She’s a fake humanitarian and a fake feminist. She’s a social climber... she thought she could be a celebrity in the Royal Family and she’s the most toxic, divisive woman I’ve ever heard of in my life.”
She added: “The Queen has been on the throne for 70 years and she’s had to put up with all this trouble. Meghan has used every card she can - racism, mental health, feminism. She’s not a feminist, she’s just a hypocrite.”
Another demonstrator added: “It was odd that the whole speech was about herself. But that is Meghan. The mom-of two was criticized for referencing herself 54 times in the seven-minute speech.
Meghan Markle Blasted The Media's Treatment Of Her Children
Last week, Meghan has caused shock waves around the world by claiming the "N-word" was used to describe her children in the interview. The Duchess of Sussex made a series of startling claims in a wide-ranging interview with The Cut magazine. Among the more sensational statements made were Markle's reluctance to share pictures of her children for the media. Meghan, who is married to Prince Harry, appears to accuse the British royal press of using the "N-word" to describe her children.
She told the magazine: "There’s literally a structure by which if you want to release photos of your child, as a member of the family, you first have to give them to the Royal Rota. Why would I give the very people that are calling my children the N-word a photo of my child before I can share it with the people that love my child? You tell me how that makes sense, and then I’ll play that game."
