Meghan Markle showed her support for the victims of the Uvalde school shooting by visiting the memorial outside Uvalde County Courthouse on May 26. She showed up in jeans and a t-shirt to lay flowers in front of the cross of 10-year-old victim Uziyah Garcia. According to People, a spokesperson for the Duchess of Sussex said that “Meghan took the trip in a personal capacity as a mother, to offer her condolences and support in person to a community experiencing unimaginable grief.”
The trip to Uvalde was very much a personal trip. Meghan is no longer a member of the royal family, so she has the luxury to make her own personal choices on when and where she shows up. This trip was not to pay respect in honor of the royal family. It was to show her respect as a mother herself.
Meghan wore a pair of cropped jeans, sneakers, and a baseball cap for the appearance. She did the trip alone, leaving Prince Harry, Lilibet, and Archie back in California where the family is gearing up to go visit their family in England. You know, Queen Elizabeth who has the country celebrating her Platinum Jubilee.
