Two days after the horrific mass shooting in which a young man killed 19 elementary students and two teachers at a school in Uvalde, Texas, Meghan Markle has gone to visit the memorial monument that the residents of the town have improvised in tribute to the victims of this terrible event and it seems that it will remain in his memory. This tragic shooting occurred at Robb Elementary School and the Duchess of Sussex came into town to lay out some flowers.
The monument, one of many erected in the wake of Tuesday’s violence, was placed in front of the Uvalde County, Texas, courthouse and honors the names of those who died. Each of them is written on a white cross. In the heartrending images of the scene, Meghan Markle places white roses against several crosses of the Robb Elementary students killed on Tuesday.

The visit was a rare unannounced public appearance by Meghan Markle, who a few days ago was enjoying polo in a polka dot look. The Duchess of Sussex currently lives in California with her husband, Prince Harry, and her two children, Archie and Lili. She doesn’t usually make appearances in such public locations unannounced.
As can be seen in the images, Meghan Markle paid her respects accompanied by a bodyguard and Prince Harry did not attend. According to The Daily Mail, she did not speak to the press during the visit, instead keeping her focus on the memorial. At Garcia’s cross, in particular, she paused to silently bow her head.
Meghan Markle is one of the first public figures to visit Uvalde after the tragedy. For now, US President Joe Biden is expected to make a visit in the coming days. Meghan Markle’s visit to the memorial erected in honor of the victims of this shooting, one of the deadliest since a gunman killed 20 children and six staff members in 2012, is undoubtedly a way of making clear the position of the Dukes of Sussez their position on the use of weapons. This controversial issue comes up again in the United States, hopefully we are close to the final debate.
