Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has never had a “Black Card.” When she married Prince Harry and we got our first look at her mother, she got a “temporary pass.” I was pretty neutral about Meghan until she did that Oprah interview in 2021. As soon as she claimed that she never googled anything about the royal family, I immediately labeled her a “bimbo” and was done. Three years later, my initial assessment of her character has continuously been confirmed.
I have pretty much avoided commenting on her antics and those of her husband. We learned at a very early age that “God don’t like ugly!” Meghan and her husband have done a lot of uglies. And with the exception of Harry’s tell-all book, they don’t have the Midas Touch. Everything they touch seems to turn to stone and crumble. Spotify executive Bill Simmons, who is head of Podcast development called them “grifters.”
During the Oprah interview, Meghan alluded to racism she experienced from the royal family. She refused to name names, but months later she added to her allegations by professing that she had never been treated like a Black woman until she went to the UK.
From the impossible-to-have-occurred car chase in traffic-jammed Manhattan, to the “accidental” releasing of King Charles and Princess Catherine’s names as the racists in the royal family, none of the mud the Sussexes have slung at those family members has stuck. Both the king and the princess are being treated for cancer and the public’s empathy has been with them.
Two weekends ago, the royal family celebrated Trooping the Colors. For over 260 years, this is the official way the sovereign celebrates their birthday. Catherine issued a statement that she would be in attendance. She also spoke of her good days/bad days struggles with cancer. And literally at the very moment Catherine made her appearance at the event, one of the Sussexes’ friends tried to steal Catherine’s thunder by posting online about Meghan releasing dog biscuits as part of her American Riviera Orchard line even though you can’t buy this stuff. It’s not even in production.
Everybody recognized the announcement for the stunt it was. Then to add an additional insult, Meghan added a second flavor of the jam no one can buy. So why the announcement during Princess Catherine’s moment? Meghan is desperate because no one is truly interested in anything she has to say or do.
