Some thought that Meghan Markle sending along coffee and snacks to Moms Demand Action was just a PR stunt. One wrote “She does nothing from her heart”. They weren’t alone. Another thought that Markle couldn’t have really put in a lot of effort, tweeting “Her PRs drafted a letter, her secretaries typed it and she signed it.” That signature was a point of contention for one user who thought it was disingenuous for Meghan to sign the letter with the title The Duchess of Sussex when she and Prince Harry had stepped away from royal duties, calling her “a hypocrite”.
But there were others on Twitter who were fans. One called the gesture “sweet and thoughtful”. Another wrote “How typically amazing of Meghan.” One tweet highlighted the work that it takes for volunteers working with organizations like Moms Demand Action to keep at their work, and they commended Meghan for “providing practical support to volunteers on the ground”. Meghan’s gift even inspired one user to donate to the organization.
This isn’t the first time that Meghan has provided support after the tragedy in Uvalde. Meghan visited Uvalde two days after the tragedy “in a personal capacity as a mother,” per Town & Country. She visited the memorial at the Uvalde County Courthouse, and she stopped by the community center, which was hosting a blood drive, and helped deliver food to volunteers there, per Buzzfeed News.
