MOST SEATS WERE EMPTY! No One Attends Meghan’s Selfie Free $5000 Dinner In Indiana
As you may know, Meghan and Harry hosted a private fundraising dinner in Indianapolis that had a hefty price tag of $5000 per ticket.
The goal was to raise money for her charity Archewell but based on photos that have surfaced, it seems like the event was a major flop with most of the seats sitting empty.
Pictures from inside the exclusive event show rows and rows of vacant chairs with very few attendees sprinkled around the room.
Reports say there were supposed to be around 100 guests but it looks like they barely cracked 30.
Now $5000 is no small amount of money, especially for a brief interaction with the Sussexes without the option of a selfie.
Some outlets are speculating that people weren’t willing to shell out top dollar without the promise of a photo.
But Meghan and Harry had banned phones at this dinner, likely to avoid leaks of anything said.
Royal correspondent Murray Hogarth called the poor turnout a sign that the public enthusiasm for Harry and Meghan just isn’t what it used to be.
With all their complaints about privacy and media intrusion, people expected more privacy would be a big selling point.
But it seems their policies backfired here and people weren’t willing to pay for just a brief chat without capturing the moment.
