Do the Sussexes ever stop to think about how outrageous their demands are when they do things meant for charity or helping the community? According to an exclusive by the Daily Mail, it has been revealed via a Freedom of Information Act request that there were a ton of things that the couple wanted in place for their day excursion to a Harlem, New York school.
The school they visited was the PS123 Mahalia Jackson school, which has over 91% Hispanic and Black students from low-income and single-parent households. Did the Sussexes care? No, as they tried to gag the kids, parents and staff while demanding a unique carpet and pillows.
The Demands Picked Apart
The Daily Mail did an outstanding job picking apart the information they received. The Sun also had a FOIA request. The Daily Mail got ahold of emails. They also got a heavily edited press release, which cuts out a paragraph about The Bench (Thanks, Royal Grift!). Release forms were also sent to the New York Education Department for approval.
Given the demands highlighted in the emails included in the Daily Mail article, it’s no surprise that they wanted a new carpet. Why? Because Meghan was going to read her children’s book, The Bench.
Whether the school gave in to those demands is unclear, though they might have been given the carpet. But there were no pillows from what the photos showed. It is also unclear if the release forms were signed. From what we’ve seen people say, the footage from the Harlem visit did not appear in the Netflix series. This implies that not enough release forms were signed by the parents of the kids that they were attempting to gag.
