One thing that I find a unnerving about Meghan is that she never appears to be living in the moment, and is always making facial expressions and appears to be posing for the camera at all times. There’s just something very disingenuous about her whole aura.

Meghan Markle fully disrespected Nigeria with her choice of clothing, and bogus claim of being 43% Nigerian. That she and Harry also broached the topic of mental health is astonishing, given their apparent issues and evident lack of professional assistance.

People magazine is a joke. This is not an official tour. These two are not Royal.

[griffin]

Their corny little rehearsed speeches, they really think they’re important

[chins]

Why is Rachel wearing a backless dress to a school? So weird

[latamarapate]

It is NOT an official anything but a free vacation

[MarilynScott-fsjw]

HOW MUCH MONEY DID THE HARKLES PAY YOU PEOPLE MAGAZINE??

[Charlie-yvdd]

It is a unofficial private visit of these grifters

[TomRipley]

Frozen out by Hollywood and frozen out by the Royal Family, they’re trying to build their profile with their fake “royal tour” in an effort to cling to relevance. Fail.

[fluffyduffy-]

She's always clapping like demented seal

Platitudes and empty words! Harry you are talking to little children, they cannot understand the message. You should know because you claim to live with children of your own.

[kalo]

What a joke these two are. Wonder if the kids had to sign an NDA

[clee]

My mental health was effected when my sister cut me off completely. Family was the most important to me. Harry & Meghan set a bad example on how to deal with family relationships!

[synsrfem]

Why is her dress too long? Can this woman never not make a clothing mistake??

[wandapaul]

MM go and visit ur father and apologize for all the lies you constantly you will get better PR, than going to Nigeria

[jjiary]

What are they doing there..? What are their job exactly?

[wandapaul]

Why is she wearing that to a didn't she said she is 43% Nigerian....so y couldn't she wear something more cultural and

[REDDLADY]

This is not an Official visit. Check your facts. They don't represent the Royal Family or UK in any official capacity.

This is gross considering AFRICAN PARKS HORRORS AND ABUSES. What does Nigeria say about that??

Taking the People magazine correspondent with them says a lot: WE WANT PUBLICITY! Her clothing was awful and very inappropriate, she constantly talked about herself, and them speaking about mental health is completely laughable. They have NO CREDENTIALS whatsoever to speak about mental health. Quite the opposite, considering the revelations in Spare and the Oprah interview. Does being rich make them experts in everything so they can speak and advise others. I don't think so, but People magazine sure seems to give them a lot of positive press. Their PR machine is in full throttle. BUT Americans are not impressed.
