Recent photos of Meghan Markle have surfaced online since Prince Harry left to see his ailing dad. These images have sparked heated reactions from social media users.

The Duchess of Sussex has been spotted out and about for the first time since her husband caught a flight to London to visit King Charles III amid his cancer diagnosis. Pictures showed Meghan Markle flashing a smile as she drove around Montecito.

From what was seen, she opted for a comfy, casual look, which included sunglasses and a baseball cap. She also held a coffee mug in one of her hands.Many people had a lot of strong opinions concerning Meghan’s recent outing. One person asked and asserted, “Why does she do this when Harry is away?” Another expressed, “So predictable. Beyond pathetic.”

Someone else remarked, “Smiling like a Cheshire Cat to hide the fact KC had barely 30 mins for Harry. If you believe some reports, it was more like 12 mins […] that’s pretty embarrassing. Actions have consequences!”

A social media user pondered, “She’s happy Charles is ill?” Another asserted, “How embarrassing M, now we know why Harry went! PR stunt!” Someone else stated, “Exclusive woman smiles [knowing] her husband is safely coming back to her loving arms after being in a country where the media, reporters and self-appointed experts are being violent and vicious in speech and thoughts.”
