Meghan Markle Accused Of ‘PR Stunt’ Over Wreath Laid At Prince Philip’s Funeral

Meghan Markle used Prince Philip’s funeral as a “deeply problematic” publicity stunt, a royal expert has claimed.

Commentator Daniela Elsa accused the Duchess of Sussex, 39, of leaking details about the handwritten note she attached to a wreath to honour the late Duke of Edinburgh to the press ahead of the service in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.

Nine wreaths were laid by royals, but only details of Markle’s offering were made public.

Writing for Australian title news.com.au, Elsa suggested Meghan, who was unable to attend the ceremony because she’s pregnant, used the platform to hit the headlines as details of other wreaths laid by the Royal Family remained private.

“What is bewildering here is why and how, on a day which should have been resolutely, solely focused on celebrating the Duke, that still something Sussex-related has managed to end up in the headlines,” she wrote.

“While Buckingham Palace has released a cavalcade of specifics about yesterday’s proceedings, everything from precise timings to where exactly Philip’s valets would be standing, no particulars about the other eight wreaths that were placed in the chapel have been released.”

She continued: “The appearance here is that even at this moment of mourning someone Sussex-adjacent has seen the wreath and Meghan’s note as an opportunity to drum up some good PR, hardly edifying stuff.”

Elsa also claimed Meghan used the opportunity to help promote florist Willow Crossley, who designed the handmade wreath and “was in charge of the flowers for the Sussexes’ wedding reception and son Archie’s 2019 christening.”

“But why did anyone feel the need to share this information with the world?” she said.

“The unavoidable conclusion here is that the details of the Crossley-created salute are known today, and making headlines, because someone wanted them out there,” she added.

Elsa highlighted the Sussexes’ waning popularity among Brits as a potential reason for the leak.

“In recent months both Harry and Meghan’s approval ratings in the UK have cratered to record lows, with both the Duke and Duchess hitting negative figures, according to a poll done in the wake of their explosive Oprah Winfrey TV interview last month,” she said.

“Perhaps it was too much to expect that this weekend’s proceedings could have gone off without something Harry and Meghan-related in the mix.”

Rapper NBA Youngboy, 21, Expecting His 8th Child With Girlfriend Jazlyn Mychelle Three Months After Welcoming A Baby Boy With Floyd Mayweather’s Daughter

Controversial American rapper, NBA Youngboy is set to be a father of the 8th time three months after he welcomed a baby boy with Yaya Mayweather, the daughter of boxer, Floyd Mayweather.

Baby shower photos of his on-again, off-again girlfriend Jazlyn Mychelle were shared online. In the images, she can be seen cradling her baby bump.

Jazlyn also shared an update from the rapper, who remains behind bars on federal weapons charges.

“He said ‘its cool cooler than my ice im waiting to put back on my neck its all good believe that,’” she wrote before signing it “Sincerely Kentrell” (YoungBoy’s real name is Kentrell Gaulden).

YoungBoy was arrested last month following a pursuit in Los Angeles.

Last Thursday, he pleaded not guilty to one count of felon in possession of a firearm and one count of possession of an unregistered firearm. The two charges stem from a September 2020 arrest in Baton Rouge where he was filming a music video.

A federal judge in Louisiana ordered that he remain in jail without bond until he faces trial in June.

YoungBoy began having kids as a teenager and most of his kids are really close in age.
