Royal commentator Amanda Platell weighed in on the storm, suggesting Meghan might want to “take a leaf out of Princess Kate’s book” when it comes to handling grief with more dignity.
Platell suggested that a calmer, more personal approach to support would better serve the couple, rather than attracting attention with high-profile visits.
It seems that even in the face of fire, Meghan and Harry cannot escape the heat.
She highlighted how the Princess of Wales handled her grief with grace during a visit to Southport last year, where Kate met privately with the families of victims of a stabbing rampage.
