Exhausted by royal duties, Meghan Markle is said to be “at her wit’s end” as the charitable polo match she co-founded with Prince Harry has failed to draw the crowds to the Richmond Polo Club in London. The event, which aimed to raise money for conservation and community projects, was scheduled to take place on Sunday, but on the day of the event, the bleak weather and poor publicity seemed to have put a damper on the whole affair.
Guests who did attend the event said they were left disappointed and underwhelmed, with some taking to social media to express their dissatisfaction. “Before we even get to the polo, the rain was pouring down, to be honest. The atmosphere was really flat,” one attendee said. “For us, it was just not the day for polo, and to be honest, it was really expensive, which didn’t help.”
Organizers had predicted that the event would attract a crowd of around 10,000 people, but according to reports, less than 500 people showed up. The meager turnout has left many wondering if the event was worth the hype, and whether Markle and Harry’s involvement was more of a publicity stunt than an actual attempt to make a difference.
Despite the low attendance, the pair and their friends and family were spotted enjoying the match, seemingly unfazed by the lack of support. However, insiders claim that Markle is “exhausted” and “at her wit’s end” due to the event’s poor turnout, which has left her questioning whether it was worth the effort.
