Meghan Markle’s Concert Outings Spark Social Media Debate
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, recently shared some behind-the-scenes glimpses of her and Prince Harry’s attendance at a James Taylor concert. The photos show Taylor signing his book, Sweet Baby James, for the couple, a group photo with the musician, and a view from their seats during the performance. Markle’s caption, “In my concert era,” reflects her recent string of concert appearances, including Beyoncé’s performance at SoFi Stadium just days prior.
While Markle disables comments on her own Instagram posts, People magazine’s repost of the photos drew criticism from some social media users. Several comments questioned the couple’s motives, suggesting they were seeking attention and using the events for publicity.
Some users compared the situation to Taylor Swift concerts where celebrities are often spotted by other fans, contrasting it with the Sussexes’ apparent use of a personal photographer. Others expressed disapproval of what they perceived as a desire for publicity, despite the couple’s stated wish for privacy.
