Tina knew no celebrities other than Megan's invitation to her art event, while Doria pleaded with Beyonce's mom for a picture.
Contrary to recent promotions by the Artwall Foundation, Megan Markle and Prince Harry's so-called star-studded celebration for the Arts Wall lacked notable stars. The event saw the presence of fashion designer Tina Knowles, who showed up to support her daughter.
Doria Ragland, Megan's mother, also attended. Megan and Harry's official website released a press statement detailing their involvement with the Kinsey African-American Art and History Collection. The collection boasts one of the most extensive holdings of African-American artifacts and documents.
The Kinsey Collection shared images on Instagram, depicting the gathering held at Sofi Stadium at Hollywood Park on March 21st. Megan and Harry were captured embracing attendees, alongside a moderated conversation with Bernard, Shirley, and Khalil Kinsey—prominent figures in the art and philanthropy community. They discussed the history and significance of black art, emphasizing collaboration among various communities to preserve this crucial aspect of American history. David Oyelowo, known for his role in a film directed by Megan's friend Misan, was also present to show support.
In the midst of the event, photos surfaced of Megan's mother, Doria Ragland, posing with Tina Knowles, Beyonce's mother. While Tina was invited by Khalil Kinsey, the museum's creative director, and attended for the art and artists, Doria seized the opportunity for a snapshot. It's reminiscent of previous incidents, such as the Doria, Kim Kardashian, and Chris Jenner photo, where confusion led to unexpected snapshots. Sources close to insiders revealed Tina Knowles' long-standing passion for African-American art, making her presence at the event genuine.
Despite Tina's genuine interest, criticisms emerged, particularly directed at Doria's appearance in the photos. Some expressed surprise that Megan didn't ensure her mother made a better impression. Such incidents fuel skepticism about Megan's genuine interest in African-American culture and art. Contrasts were drawn to previous events, like Charles hiring a soul choir and inviting the US head of the Episcopal Church to Harry and Megan's wedding. These incidents underline concerns that Megan may exploit goodwill without substantial contribution.
