Meghan Markle demanded hospital visit with sick kids be 'quick': report

Key Points:

• Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's visit to Melbourne's Royal Children’s Hospital sparked mixed reactions, with some praising the morale boost for sick children and others accusing the couple of using the visit for self-promotion and commercial gain.
• Meghan's designer outfit worn during the hospital visit was immediately made available for sale on an AI-powered fashion website in which she has a financial stake, raising questions about the blending of charity and commerce.
• Critics highlighted concerns over the handling of vulnerable children during the visit, including reports that some were removed from their hospital beds, unmasked despite their compromised immune systems, and used for photo opportunities.
• The couple faced accusations of hypocrisy for promoting children's privacy online while publicly sharing images of ill children they met, fueling debate over the ethics of their public appearances.
• The commercial nature of the trip, including selling Meghan's clothing worn at sensitive events like a memorial for a terrorist attack, drew sharp criticism and contrasts with the late Queen Elizabeth's stance against mixing royal duties with personal business ventures.
