Desperate Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Attempt to Overshadow Catherine’s First Foreign Tour in Denmark. It Fails.
New paparazzi photos emerge showing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle hanging out with Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank
Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, is currently in Denmark as part of a two-day tour, the first that she’s taken since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Of course, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry couldn’t bear to have the future Princess of Wales outshine them, as the two clearly staged paparazzi photos to drop featuring the couple and Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank.
There’s no doubt that HRH the Duchess of Cambridge is beginning to really blossom into her role as a member of the British royal family. The first day of her two-day tour of Denmark showed the Duchess interacting with children and parents, learning more at the Lego Foundation PlayLab and playfully going doing a slide, much to the chagrin of the press.
But in Montecito, the Sussex duo weren’t about to let Catherine enjoy her day in the spotlight.
In a desperate attempt to steal attention away from Copenhagen, the couple managed to get TMZ to drop previously unseen paparazzi pictures of Harry and Meghan out at dinner with Eugenie and Jack.
The pictures, which were clearly staged as the paparazzi industry since its heyday than the mid-2000s, showed the couple having fun in front of a window, giving the awaiting photographers the much-needed money shot.
To really sell the images, Harry and Meghan clearly situated themselves to give their awaiting cameraman the best shot possible. They also laughed rather animatedly, to really sell this narrative that they are still part of the royal family.
“See,” Harry and Meghan think, “we’re still close with Eugenie and Jack. Look how much fun we’re having.”
Perhaps if the photos had dropped on a slow news week for the royal family, the pictures would have made a bit of a splash before the rest of the world went on.
However, this week is Catherine’s first royal tour since she and William went to Pakistan in 2019. It’s also only her third solo royal tour.
She also looked fantastic at the events and looked every inch the professional royal while being down to earth and having fun.
Meghan could only dream of pulling that off, as nearly everything she does is a contrivance.
This isn’t the first time that Meghan has tried to steal the limelight from other royals.
During her last hurrah in the U.K., Meghan dropped a series of pictures on her SussexRoyal social media page on the same day that Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, was giving a speech about domestic violence.
The couple also famously announced their Megxit news the day before Catherine’s birthday. Talk about one heck of a present.
Generally, royals coordinate their calendars so that each family member can take an opportunity to shine.
But that doesn’t really work for Meghan, who has a combination of relentless ambition and a hatred of anyone else getting the spotlight.
Though she attempted to steal Catherine’s thunder yet again, it didn’t work. While TMZ did pay and publish the pictures, they don’t show the couple in the best light. In fact, the pictures are not flattering overall, and reek of desperation from a couple who has failed to make their mark solo.
