Franticness: Meghan’s Shopping Trip Amidst Backlash from Ellen Show

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, was seen indulging in a shopping spree in Montecito ahead of her second family Christmas with Prince Harry in the US.

Despite being accompanied by her bodyguard and the paparazzi who captured the moment, Meghan managed to blend into the streets of Montecito, California on Wednesday afternoon.

Her destination was Pierre Lafond & Co., a trendy grocery shop that also offers a selection of gift items and home furnishings.

After half an hour, she emerged from the store with two bags, while her bodyguard carried a folded-up blanket in a plastic bag.

Subsequently, Meghan visited Poppy, a kids' clothing shop, and Hudson Grace, a home furnishing store, but left empty-handed before returning to her car.

With her blue mask and shades, the Duchess was virtually unrecognizable, donning a brown Massimo Dutti wool coat, Tamara Mellon boots, a Bottega Veneta clutch, and a brown beanie.

According to DailyMail.com, an eyewitness described Meghan's shopping expedition as frantic, as if she were desperate to experience a taste of normalcy, even if only for an hour.

This comes in the wake of her appearance on The Ellen Show, which received significant backlash.

As a result, Meghan has reportedly chosen to retreat from the public eye.

Royal expert Neil Sean discussed this development on his YouTube channel, revealing that Meghan is now spending more time indoors due to the negative reaction to her talk show appearance.

Sean suggested that it may have been more enjoyable if Prince Harry had joined her on the show, emphasizing that even he thought it was a good opportunity for Meghan to showcase her fun side.

During her debut on The Ellen Show last month, Meghan engaged in a series of pranks under the guidance of host Ellen DeGeneres.

These pranks involved carrying out embarrassing tasks in front of unsuspecting onlookers.

Equipped with a hidden earpiece, Meghan, who is a mother to Archie, aged 2, and Lilibet Diana, aged 6 months, was encouraged to eat tortilla crisps like a chipmunk, refer to herself as “mummy,” tell jokes, and hold a crystal to her head.

While some fans appreciated seeing Meghan's humorous side, Neil Sean revealed that the Duchess was upset by the subsequent backlash.

One fan commended Meghan for revealing her normal self, highlighting the stark contrast between her and the Duchess of Cambridge.

Retail strategist and kitson owner Fraser Ross noted that Meghan chose to wear designer pieces she had previously worn, a move that resonates with her fans and portrays relatability during these challenging times of the pandemic.

Earlier this week, Sarah Ferguson, a member of the royal family, publicly expressed support for Meghan and Harry's decision to relocate to California and step back from their royal duties.

In an interview on the Italian talk show Porto a Porta, Ferguson emphasized the importance of their happiness, stating that Princess Diana would be proud to see Prince Harry finding joy again.

She also expressed her belief that Diana would be proud of her sons and grandchildren.

In conclusion, amidst the backlash from her appearance on The Ellen Show, Meghan Markle sought solace in a shopping trip in Montecito.

Despite facing criticism, she remains committed to staying true to herself and finding moments of normalcy.

While the public may have differing opinions, Meghan continues to navigate her life with resilience and determination.
