Meghan Markle’s surprise appearance at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Gala created quite a buzz, with reactions ranging from praise to criticism. Dressed in a bold red gown, the Duchess of Sussex turned heads, but her choice of attire sparked debate. While many commended her for supporting a charitable cause, others argued that the outfit was “unsuitable” for the event.
Meghan made an unexpected entrance at the annual Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Gala, catching everyone by surprise. The gala, which draws high-profile attendees to support pediatric healthcare, became even more talked about when Meghan arrived unannounced. Wearing a bold red halter-neck gown, she instantly captivated the room and turned heads with her striking presence.
Meghan’s outfit quickly stole the spotlight, though reactions weren’t solely about the fashion. While many fans praised her bold choice and admired her confidence, fashion critics were divided. Some viewed the striking gown as a powerful style statement, embodying her signature blend of elegance and modernity.
One critic remarked, “I wonder if she looks at herself in the mirror before she goes out? That dress just doesn’t look good on her!” Another added, “Yes, what a appropriate dress for a children’s function.” Additional comments included, “This is what you wear to a Children’s Hospital?” and “What’s she’s wearing for children’s event? Embarrassing…”
This is not the first time Meghan Markle has faced criticism for wearing inappropriate and overly revealing outfits. Recently, Meghan and Prince Harry visited Nigeria as part of the Invictus Games Anniversary celebrations. During this visit, Meghan’s choice of attire once again sparked controversy. Many deemed her dresses “revealing” and considered them inappropriate for the occasion.
Meghan also faced backlash for referring to Nigeria as “her country” after revealing she is 43% Nigerian. Critics pointed out the stark contrast between the Duchess’s lavish spending on attire and accessories and the country’s poverty, where over 112 million people live below the poverty line. This further fueled the controversy surrounding her visit.
Indeed, fans of the royal family often have plenty to say about Meghan’s looks. During her latest tour, people shared controversial comments regarding her choice of dresses. “I thought she hired a stylist? Inappropriate dress where the culture is modesty and especially to meet school children,” remarked one individual.
Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman also recently captured attention with her bold red carpet appearance, donning a daring dress that accentuated her cleavage. Some critics contended that the 57-year-old actress might be “too old” for such revealing outfits.
Terminally ill man warned others not to make the same mistake he had made
Liam had bravely shared his story to warn others not to make the same mistake that he did. Check in comments.
There are times when despite feeling unwell, we refuse to visit a doctor hoping that the pain would eventually go away on its own. The sad reality is that if we don’t seek medical help when we first feel the symptoms of an illness, it may be too late when we do it.
A 31-year-old man from Middlesborough, UK, who was battling terminal cancer advocated about the importance of regular check-ups and visiting a doctor on time.
Liam Griffiths believed that he could have been able to beat the cancer had he turned to a medical professional sooner.
Despite his efforts to beat the illness, Liam was delivered the devastating news it was fatal.
Namely, he was suffering from peritoneal cancer, a form of cancer that affects the lining of the abdomen.
In an interview, Liam revealed that he started experiencing stomach swelling, chronic constipation, cramps and vomiting in March of 2023. Although his symptoms seemed to be severe, he didn’t visit a doctor because he was self-employed and didn’t want to lose out on wages.
He hoped the symptoms would go away, but they only worsened and became even more severe which forced him to seek medical help. Once at the hospital, he was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, but a month later he got a call from the doctor and was informed that he was in fact misdiagnosed and that he had cancer.
He started treatments right away, but sadly, his cancer was resistant to the chemotherapy.
Despite the gravity of his situation, this young man found the time and strength to send a message to every person out there, and that message is not to delay the doctor’s visit in case you feel something’s wrong with your body.
“I want to push this message because if just one or two people go to the hospital and get checked because of my mistake and my story, that would be amazing,” he said. “They found my cancer at stage three advanced – but if I had just gone to see the doctors earlier, maybe they could have caught it. I was self-employed, and I needed the money, so I just kept powering through. I did what I thought a man needed to do – I was manning up.”
Not losing hope despite the dull prognosis, Liam’s friend, Eve Bannatyne, started a fundraiser which helped raise over £18,000 in donations for Liam’s private treatment because his chemotherapy on the NHS no longer worked.
“I remember I asked what my life span would look like and my doctor said he doesn’t want to give me a timeframe of when my life could end, because he doesn’t want me to focus my whole life around it,” Liam told Metro.
“I agreed and just decided I wanted to get home, fulfil some wishes and just live my life while I can.”
Sadly, Liam passed away on February 1, 2024.
The memorial service for him was led by Rev John Hearn. Liam’s dad spoke of his son and said, “Liam was a beautiful, funny, caring, big softie. As a kid he was very loving towards his mam and dad. There was always a cuddle. He also had his cheeky side.”
Liam’s life story serves as a reminder that we should always prioritize our health, even if that means losing out on wages or rescheduling certain commitments and duties.
We are so very sorry for this brave man’s passing. May he rest in peace.
