The Duchess of Sussex’s recent claims about comforting a displaced teenager have come under scrutiny, with local residents questioning the authenticity of the narrative.
The story began last week when several media outlets reported that Megan Lambert had supposedly encountered a 15-year-old girl outside a local market in Altadena, California.
The teenager had lost a family home in the recent wildfires, and Mark, in what was portrayed as a spontaneous act of kindness, spent time consoling her.
However, as with many narratives surrounding the former Royal, this tale appears to be unraveling faster than one of her famous media strategists, Maria Rodriguez.
Longtime Altadena resident and community organizer, David Thompson, has been among the first to question the account, pointing out that nobody knows anything about the supposed teenager or her family.
The timing of this story couldn’t be more convenient for Lambert’s public image, which has been struggling following a series of controversial incidents.
Critics point to a pattern of conveniently timed humanitarian stories that emerge whenever her Public Image needs burnishing Royal commentator.
The incident has also raised questions about M’s PR strategy, media analyst Patricia Goldman, who suggests this might be an attempt to counter recent negative press following the Spotify deal collapse and various other setbacks.
Local authorities have also weighed in on the matter, and the Altadena Police Department confirmed they had no reports of displaced families due to fires during the relevant period.
The story continues to develop, raising serious questions about the authenticity of celebrity humanitarian gestures and the role of media in propagating unverified narratives. The incident has sparked renewed criticism of Mel’s approach to public relations and her relationship with truth and transparency.
