Saturday 28 May 2022 04:37 AM PLATELL'S PEOPLE: Sorry Harry and Meghan, you are NOT welcome at the Queen's ... trends now

She flew in by private jet on what was said to be a private visit. But inevitably the pictures of Meghan laying flowers at the memorial of the Texas school massacre went round the world.

Despite being there incognito, her huge security detail gave the game away at the memorial set up by grieving parents. Pan out from the pics of a tearful Megs kneeling in humility like Mother Teresa and there is an army of photographers and film crews capturing every soulful moment.

All very moving — and perhaps consoling for many of those poor, grieving parents. But her sudden arrival — she got there before even President Biden — makes me worry she and Harry could do something to overshadow the Royal Family when they land in the UK next week for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Meghan could have done it another way. She says she was there in her ‘personal capacity as a mother’. Perhaps it would have been better, then, to have arranged to privately meet the mothers of the murdered children instead of appearing so poignantly in front of the world’s Press.

Compare this with Kate, our future Queen, when last year she visited the South London vigil for murdered Sarah Everard with one female protection officer, quietly laying daffodils handpicked from her home. No photo op. Just a bystander who caught the visit on a mobile phone.

Let’s hope that in the midst of her mercy dash, Megs also found time to visit her seriously-ill father.

Since the Duchess of Hypocrisy hasn’t to our knowledge seen her dad since before her marriage, I’m not holding my breath.

Remember how she and Harry laid a wreath at Los Angeles national cemetery on Remembrance Day last year — and happened to have a personal photographer in tow?

Given that kind of form, I shudder to think what Megs might have dreamed up to grab the Jubilee limelight. I’d remind her the coming days are a celebration of the indefatigable Queen who has dedicated her life to service, not self-service.

Having abandoned their royal duties and Britain, vilified the ‘racist’ Royal Family and heaped opprobrium on Prince William and Prince Charles, what right do the Sussexes even have to be here?

Will Oprah Winfrey fly in with them to rain on the Queen’s parade?

I believe I speak for many when I say: Harry and Meghan, you are not welcome. Please just stay away.

 Put ’em away, Naomi

Naomi Campbell turned up three hours late for a Cannes film premiere but still mesmerised in a midnight blue feathered Valentino gown with two vertical slivers of fabric barely covering her breasts. Maybe when you’re a diva no one has the courage to say: ‘Sweetie, you may be a supermodel, but at 52 it’s hard for any woman to pull off the side boob.’ 

 Sturgeon’s no Maggie

Despite its public deficit more than doubling over the past year to £36 billion, Scotland celebrates Nicola Sturgeon’s near eight years in office as leader and comparisons are made with Margaret Thatcher, who was PM for 11 years.
