According to information from BFMTV, the comments were unleashed on social networks. The program’s trailer video was widely criticized and the criticisms continued. For many people, Meghan Markle would seem to be “superficial” and she has been criticized in particular for not having used her notoriety to help the royal family. As a reminder, Meghan Markle and her husband did not hesitate to openly criticize the Windsors following their departure. Very remarkable comments.
Several experts say: Meghan Markle could have “helped the firm in a constructive way”. According to them, the duchess would be completely “disconnected, insensitive, self-centered” facing a world that is suffering the worst. “Meghan Markle is here to teach us how to make gourmet donuts and fancy flower arrangements,” said a commentator from the royal family on social networks. If she was still a member of the royal family, Would Meghan Markle have found success with this cooking show?
Meghan Markle: a much hated and criticized princess
It all started in January 2020 when Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced their intention to step down from the royal family. A decision which was very unexpected and, subsequently, the couple did not hesitate to openly make unexpected revelations.
Faced with Oprah Winfrey, the mother of Archie and Lilibet indicated that she had been very poorly received within the Windsors, evoking in particular the racism that she would have faced. Kate Middleton’s lack of consideration for mental health and meanness towards Meghan Markle were also discussed. Enough to create strong tensions with the Windsors.
Has Meghan Markle’s image deteriorated because of these revelations? Initially very popular, the latter is constantly the subject of criticism, each more violent than the last. In the columns of Daily Mail royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams notably stated: “Meghan and Harry could have carved out a particular role for themselves, particularly within the Commonwealth, as Queen Elizabeth wished.” However, the couple decided otherwise and openly attacking the Windsors was the last straw.
