One user on X (formerly Twitter) pointed out the cruel irony:
“Last year Meghan wore a poppy and the tabloids tore her apart. This year she didn’t wear one, and guess what—same outrage. It’s the classic case of damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t. No matter what she does, they’ll twist it. That level of obsession is beyond unhealthy.”
Harry’s Poppy Choice Sparks Divided Opinions
Meanwhile, Prince Harry’s decision to wear the pin at the Hollywood bash drew mixed reactions. Some criticized the choice as tone-deaf, while others defended him, noting his military background.
“The poppy is taking me out. You’re in LA, mate, attending a Kardashian bash??” one critic wrote.
But another countered: “I may not be Harry’s biggest fan, but he served with the armed forces, and if he chooses to wear a poppy to a party, I see no issue with it.”
Online Support for Meghan
As the debate unfolded, many users expressed sympathy for Meghan, arguing that the pattern of public outrage only proved how unfairly she is treated.
“Its true. Just stop it,” one commenter urged. Another added bluntly, “It’s demonic. Pure hate.”
A third user called out the media’s inconsistency: “Last year you blasted her for wearing a poppy, now you’re offended because she didn’t wear one.”
For many, this latest controversy highlights how Meghan and Harry remain caught in an impossible double standard — criticized no matter what they do. Whether it’s the presence or absence of a small red flower, the couple continues to face the same exhausting cycle of judgment from the tabloids and the public alike.
