Her post didn’t sit well with some online users who wondered why she brought back foodstuff for her kids instead of going to Canada with them. One person sarcastically remarked, “Fancy taking home stale food to your children because you didn’t want them enjoying the ‘family orientated’ [sic] Invictus Games.”
Another surprised user exclaimed, “Imagine all that manky food in her luggage!!!”�A different user expressed sympathy for the Sussex children, “And I feel sorry for those kids, they never get to go anywhere.”
Meanwhile, someone else had a more supportive take on Meghan’s brief appearance at the event, “It was fun to be able to at least spend a little bit of time supporting her husband and supporting the veterans who were working so hard. Bet she missed their kiddos❤️.”
