Duchess Meghan gave a speech at an important event.
Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry are currently visiting Great Britain. The couple moved out of the country permanently at the beginning of 2020, accompanied by a big uproar.
Yesterday, September 5, Meghan gave her first speech in Great Britain since her departure. Around 2,000 people watched the Duchess’ speech at the One Young World event in Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall. The idea of the event is to gather young leaders from all over the world together. The duchess was supposed to give a speech on gender equality at the event.
Prince Harry arrived to watch his wife’s speech. PDO
However, the British press is not satisfied with the duchess’s speech. According to the Daily Mail, the duchess did not refer to women in general in her speech once, but instead spoke only about her own life.
– How the hell did I get to this point? There I was, a girl from Suits, surrounded by heads of state, prime ministers and activists whom I had respected and admired for a long time, the duchess said in her speech.
– And I was invited to sit at the same table, the duchess continued.
Meghan mentioned herself 54 times in the seven-minute speech. Among other things, she talked about Prince Harry and how the birth of her first child changed her life forever in 2019.
– Then I was a mother and married and now I am a mother. I asked myself: “What kind of world will my son be born into?”
Meghan was also criticized in other British newspapers, such as The Sun. Royal expert Ingrid Seward chides Meghan for using the platform to talk about herself.
– It didn’t make any sense. He just talked about himself and everything that was related to him in some way, Seward commented to The Sun.
However, according to the Daily Mail, the speech went down on the spot with the young audience and Meghan received applause.
Megthan and Harry were married in 2018 at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. Their first child, Archie, was born a year later. The couple’s daughter Lilibet was born in 2021.
