Royal Family
Meghan Markle ‘shed tears’ after brutal criticism
In a recent turn of events, Meghan Markle finds herself grappling with the fallout from damning comments made by celebrated biographer Tina Brown.
The former Vanity Fair editor has struck a nerve, leaving the Duchess reportedly “inconsolable,” according to royal commentators.
This remarks have thrown Meghan into an emotional tailspin.
During an episode of The Ankler podcast, Tina didn’t hold back on her assessment of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
She dismissed Meghan’s approach to the media as “total crap,” insinuating that Prince Harry follows her around “like a child.” This candid critique has struck a chord, particularly as Meghan has long admired Brown and her work on the late Princess Diana.
A Shocking Blow
Neil Sean, a royal commentator, has shared that Meghan took these words to heart.
A source revealed, “Meghan was absolutely devastated.
She’d been a fan of Tina, especially due to her connection with Princess Diana.
She hoped to relate to Harry better through Tina’s insights about his mother.”
Talk about a punch in the gut!
On the podcast, Brown was unrelenting in her critique.
She claimed, “The trouble with Meghan is that she has the worst judgment of anyone in the world.” His remarks painted an unflattering portrait of Meghan’s decision-making skills, as she allegedly fails to heed advice from those around her and persists in pursuing her own misguided ideas.
The Prince’s Role
Brown’s comments didn’t stop at Meghan; she had some sharp words for Prince Harry as well.
Tina suggested that while Harry is adept at “being Prince Harry,” his royal duties are all he seems to grasp.
This is far from the first time Brown has offered a scathing review of the Sussexes, previously labeling their exit from royal life as a “disaster.”
As Harry and Meghan navigate 2024 after a tumultuous 2023, their recent decision to purchase a home in Portugal marks a significant transition.
It suggests a strategic shift, bringing them incrementally closer to the UK.
A New Nest
One theory behind their move is proximity to Princess Eugenie, Harry’s cousin, who resides nearby.
Professor Pauline MacLaran commented on the familial ties at play here.
“This could influence their decision.
It offers Meghan and Harry a reliable friendship circle and gives their kids a chance to bond with family,” she said.
While this new property isn’t intended to be a permanent residence, it does provide Harry easier access to the UK.
Having made recent trips back home, this change seems calculated for reconnection, especially considering the strained relations within the royal family.
Hope for Reconciliation?
MacLaran emphasized that the Sussexes’ new home might not immediately mend ties with the royals.
Still, she noted that if this house serves as a base for Harry’s visits, it could pave the way for him to repair his frayed relationship with his father.
This setup could provide a more neutral environment compared to buying property in the UK, where the couple faces relentless scrutiny.
A Heartbroken Duchess
Meanwhile, the emotional stakes are high for Meghan.
Various reports indicate she’s feeling deeply hurt by the recent public remarks.
Video commentary on social media highlights that multiple royal fans are less sympathetic, with some asserting, “Let her cry!” criticizing her for previous actions that allegedly hurt others.
In stark contrast, others display empathy, pointing out that Princess Diana would have understood Meghan’s struggles given her own ordeals within the royals.
Such responses illustrate a dichotomy in public sentiment regarding Meghan, showcasing the complicated dynamics at play.
A History of Tension
Meghan has faced her share of scrutiny throughout her time in the public eye.
In years past, she’s been tagged as “Duchess Difficult” by some staff members, with claims that her demeanor left a trail of emotional distress in its wake.
Allegations suggest she can “belittle” those around her—an aspect that seems to have woven into her narrative since joining the royal family.
Notably, the infamous claims regarding Meghan making Kate Middleton cry before her wedding continue to resurface.
Contradictory narratives suggest that while Meghan has faced criticism for her alleged harshness, there are others who contend the contrary.
A Struggle in Business
Amid the emotional turmoil, Meghan’s entrepreneurial ventures are also facing hurdles.
Her attempts to launch American Riviera Orchard, a luxury brand, have yet to capture retail attention, giving royal observers reasons to question her business acumen outside royal influence.
The delay has sparked discussions about how she can thrive outside the royal spotlight.
Brown’s comments may well resonate loudly within these professional endeavors.
Her statement about Meghan’s judgment, “She really is a perfectionist about getting it all wrong,” could have implications for Meghan’s public image as she seeks to build her brand identity amidst familial tensions.
Lost Allies
The fallout from Brown’s comments raises questions about Meghan’s ability to maintain relationships.
Vickers, a royal biographer, mentioned Meghan’s knack for alienating potential allies.
He has expressed disappointment over her choices, implying that her time within the royal family could have been transformative, had she managed to avoid stepping on toes.
It’s a complicated web of familial ties and public perceptions that Meghan Markle finds herself woven into.
Following the scalding remarks from Tina Brown, the Duchess is likely to face a new set of challenges in both her personal and professional lives.
Navigating the Future
With emotions running high and public opinion swinging like a pendulum, Meghan and Harry appear to be at a crossroads.
As they seek some semblance of normalcy, only time will reveal their ability to rebuild both their family relationships and their personal dreams amidst the noise that surrounds their lives.
