Meghan Markle Faces Hostile Reception at South by Southwest Festival

Meghan Markle, the former actress and self-proclaimed Duchess of Sussex, encountered a hostile and humiliating reception at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.

The incident occurred on Monday as she took the stage to deliver a speech focusing on her experiences as a mother and a feminist.

Despite the audience paying a significant fee to attend the event and listen to her address, they responded with boos and jeers, expressing their displeasure and disdain towards her presence.

The crowd's chants of “get out of here” left Meghan speechless and fuming, prompting her swift exit from the stage.

Invited to the festival in her capacity as a co-founder of the Archwell Foundation and Archwell Productions, as well as a feminist and advocate for human rights and gender equality, Meghan intended to use the platform to showcase herself and her controversial Netflix deal.

Scheduled to speak on the festival's opening day, which celebrates the fusion of technology, film, television, and music, Meghan planned to present a talk titled “Redefining Motherhood: How I Found My Voice and My Purpose.”

Her aim was to delve into her experiences and struggles as a mother to her two children, Archie and Libid, while navigating the challenges of being a woman of color in the media and entertainment industry.

However, upon her appearance on stage, Meghan was met with a wave of disapproval from the audience, who made it clear they were uninterested in hearing her perspective.

Some attendees brandished signs labeling her as a “liar and fake,” while others sported t-shirts bearing the slogans “Team Kate” and “God Save the Queen.”

Shockingly, a few individuals went as far as hurling tomatoes and eggs towards Meghan, narrowly missing her head.

The majority of the audience, composed mainly of royal family and British culture enthusiasts, felt outraged and offended by Meghan's recent actions and statements, particularly following her explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey where she levied accusations of racism, neglect, and mistreatment against the monarchy and the media.

Despite the audience's negative reaction, Meghan attempted to soldier on and deliver her speech.

She shared anecdotes about her children, Archie and Libid, highlighting how they served as her driving force in pursuing her passions and goals.

Displaying photos of her kids on a large screen behind her, purportedly taken by her and Harry at their Montecito residence, Meghan's authenticity came into question.

Observant attendees, who had previously seen the images circulating on social media platforms like the subreddit rslash stmeghanmarkle, quickly identified discrepancies in the pictures.

The altered features, skin tones, and hair colors of Archie and Libid raised suspicions of manipulation and fabrication, further fueling the audience's skepticism and disapproval.

As the crowd persisted in voicing their discontent through boos and jeers, chants calling for Kate Middleton and Queen Elizabeth II to be upheld resonated throughout the venue.

Simultaneously, calls for divine intervention to safeguard the King, referencing Kate, the Queen, and King Charles who assumed the throne in 2023 following his mother's passing, reverberated across the space.

Attendees, many of whom also supported Harry, the former Prince of Wales, expressed their disappointment and sorrow for him, urging him to reconsider his relationship with Meghan and return to the United Kingdom.
