Meghan Markle makes an UNEXPECTED appearance at Texas shooting memorial


The Duchess of Sussex made a surprise visit to the Texas school shooting memorial, where she was spotted laying down flowers.

She was photographed placing a bouquet of white roses outside the Uvalde County Courthouse, which is only a few metres away from Robb Elementary School.


On Tuesday, 19 children and two teachers were murdered by an 18 year old gunman, Salvador Ramos in a mass shooting. The killer shot his grandmother, sent a series of text messages to a teen girl he met online about his plans, and crashed his car near the campus before proceeding with the gut-wrenching massacre.

The roses were delicately wrapped with a purple ribbon and placed down by a cross made for one of the victims, Uziyah Garcia (10 years old), reading: “You will be missed”.

Meghan was dressed casually in denim jeans, white sneakers, a basic shirt, and a cap. She was also seen wearing Princess Diana’s Cartier Tank Watch.

A spokesperson for the Duchess explained that Meghan took the visit in a “personal capacity as a mother, to offer condolences and support in-person to a community experiencing unimaginable grief”.


It would take about three hours to fly from Meghan’s home in Montecito, California to Uvalde, Texas. Along with her bodyguard on standby, Meghan paid her respects by the crosses erected to commemorate the Uvalde shooting victims.

Meghan’s unexpected appearance followed in the wake of her father’s recent health concerns. Thomas Markle Sr had a health emergency in Mexico and needed to be taken across the border to San Diego in an ambulance while using an oxygen mask.

This incident resulted in him losing his speech completely on Monday night, which came after having already suffered a health scare last week. His condition was so severe that he can only communicate by writing messages on a piece of paper.

Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess along with their two children are preparing to fly back to the UK for the first time as a family to attend the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.


This upcoming trip will be the first time that the rest of the royal family will get to meet their 11-month old daughter, Lilibet.

She has made a circus out of a tragedy, naturally the photographers were there to capture the moment, why wouldn’t they? Otherwise it wouldn’t be a publicity stunt.
Our prayers go out to the families, teachers and the community. America needs to tighten their gun laws and stop this carnage from happening again.😢😔❤️
 
Naturally she had photographers there AND most probably Netflix. Did she make trip to see her father, I doubt it. A very Hollow person.
Why would she go and see her father, he is no use to her. It doesn’t matter that he gave her everything she wanted. She would rather stick to her mother so she can play the race card, a white father is just no use to her now. I can’t stand the woman.🤬😡😡
 
As if this self centered egotistical woman would "unexpectantly" turn up, Along with photographers, film crews and a security guard. .Come off it, it was planned. She tried to turn a tragic event into a situation of self promotion.. Disgusting..
 
How about some compassion for her father instead of this photo opportunity to promote herself. Doesn't she have enough common sense to know she is doing more damage to "her brand". She is a horrible woman totally self serving.

Perhaps her show of compassion for those poor people should also extend to her father!!!
