Imagine the scene: a dazzling red carpet event at the Children’s Hospital LA Gala, where celebrities shine and goodwill is the order of the day.
Enter Meghan Markle, stepping into the spotlight but seemingly unaware that she isn’t the main attraction this time around.
It’s almost like watching a deer caught in headlights, realizing she’s not the star of this particular show.
Let’s take a moment to rewind to a previous occasion when Meghan clearly thought she was the center of attention—the Variety Power of Women event.
Dressed to impress and basking in the glow of camera flashes, she was the epitome of diva.
However, the reality check came swiftly when her assistant nudged her, signaling that it was time to make an exit.
The moment felt reminiscent of a wedding crasher being gently escorted away, only this time the gala was the wedding, and the guests appeared less than pleased.
Despite Meghan’s apparent desire to steal the spotlight, the red carpet operates under a set of unspoken rules: pose, wave, and gracefully step aside for the next star.
Yet, Meghan seemed to think she was auditioning for a never-ending production of Hamlet, oblivious to the chaos unfolding behind her.
Her aides were practically sweating bullets, frantically trying to usher her off the carpet before the situation escalated further.
Fast forward to the latest gala, and there’s Ashley, Meghan’s former assistant, once again attempting to coax her away from the cameras.
With frantic gestures, she tried to wave Meghan off, creating a scene that felt more tragic than glamorous.
Hasn’t anyone clued Meghan in that this behavior might come off as a bit desperate?
It’s as if she’s trapped herself in a corner with no clear exit strategy.
In a moment that could have been lifted straight from a children’s play, Meghan stuck her tongue out at Ashley, who was literally waving her off.
When the cameras are rolling, it seems all bets are off for Meghan.
Last year at a Vanity Fair event, she showed little regard for letting others share the spotlight, and it appears nothing has changed since then.
Ashley had to step in like a director calling “cut,” just to get Meghan to pose correctly for the cameras.
One can’t help but feel for Ashley, who looked like she was on the verge of losing her composure as she desperately tried to guide Meghan toward a graceful exit.
Meanwhile, Meghan was running up and down the carpet, eager for yet another photo opportunity.
In a humorous twist, the hospital’s CEO, Paul Viviano, approached Meghan, seemingly ready to deliver the final verdict: it was time to exit stage right.
But did she budge?
Not a chance.
Instead, she lingered like that one kid at a birthday party who refuses to leave even after the cake has been devoured.
“We’ve got your good side, Meghan; now it’s time to move along,” one might think.
Other celebrities are waiting, after all.
But did she listen?
Absolutely not.
Meghan continued to dawdle, as if expecting an encore for her one-woman show.
It’s baffling how someone hasn’t explained to her that red carpets are all about momentum, not about playing the part of a stubborn child who can’t accept that the festivities are over.
In a dramatic turn of events, Ashley ultimately grabbed Meghan’s hand, steering her back toward Kelly Zafon, who was trying to make her entrance.
Ashley pointed out her friend, encouraging Meghan to snap a photo with her.
Was this a little tacky on Ashley’s part?
Perhaps.
It was certainly an odd moment, especially since Ashley still works with Meghan.
After the photos, Ashley ended up with Kelly, raising eyebrows and prompting speculation.
Was this a pre-arranged photo opportunity?
It certainly seemed that way, as Kelly appeared more interested in a solo shot and didn’t seem thrilled about Meghan hogging the limelight.
