‘Personal driver no longer affordable’: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry mocked after taxi ride 05/17/2023, 18:10

The disgraced couple of the British monarchy are known for their security scruples bordering on pomposity. After moving to the US, Meghan and Harry take trips in the company of bodyguards in several SUVs. This time, however, the couple showed amazing modesty.

On the eve of the Dukes of Sussex, she appeared at the Women of Vision Awards gala in New York. The mother of former American actress Doria Ragland, who accompanied Meghan and Harry at the star-studded event, made a rare appearance.

Meghan spent a huge amount on a gold-colored outfit and wore her most expensive jewelry. This time, however, the couple clearly saved on hospitality expenses. Instead of a couple of bodyguards and a line of tinted cars, they limited themselves to ordinary New York taxis. A yellow car picked up former royals after an event at Ziegfeld Hall.

Meghan, Harry and Doria squeeze into the back seat. A security officer sat in the front and escorted the couple on their way. Next to the driver, who, however, did not show signs of surprise when looking at the star passengers, the bodyguard was discussing something with his colleagues on the radio.

Users reacted ironically to the couple’s trip in a taxi. Some suggested that Megan and Harry became poorer after resigning their royal powers, while others concluded that the couple were simply flirting with the public and showing that they live just like ordinary Americans, reports the Daily Mail.

“They don’t have money for a personal driver anymore?”, “Luxury life in Hollywood was too expensive”, “It’s time to start working, give a new interview or shoot a movie, the money is hiding before our eyes” , “Another PR campaign of the couple – we are , How good for you. Pathetic sight,” he wrote in the comments.

The Duke of Sussex’s appearance at the ceremony was their first appearance since the coronation of King Charles III. in London on May 6. Meghan Markle missed the ceremony, Prince Harry formally attended. The Duchess of Sussex received an award for the empowerment of girls and women this evening.

Immediately after the gala, the couple headed to the airport and returned to their home in Santa Barbara. Meanwhile, a stalker suspected of stalking the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has been arrested near their Montecito estate.
