When it comes to Harry and Meghan, one can’t help but question whether any of their plans are ever truly well thought out.

Meghan Markle, in particular, seems to have a knack for turning even the best-laid schemes into chaotic spectacles.

Their recent endeavor with CBS’s Sunday Morning was no exception.

What was intended to be a polished interview highlighting Meghan’s latest charitable project spiraled into a quintessential Meghan production, complete with diva moments and behind-the-scenes turmoil that leaves us wondering if anyone had a grasp on what was actually happening.

Meghan, who prides herself on being a media savant, apparently assumed that CBS’s Sunday Morning would be hosted by Gayle King, Oprah’s close friend.

The reality, however, is that the show is led by Jane Pauley, a detail that seemed to elude Meghan entirely.

For someone who considers herself savvy in the world of media, it’s perplexing that this fundamental piece of information slipped through the cracks.

It appears her knowledge of the industry doesn’t quite extend to the basics of television programming.

The complications didn’t end there.

Meghan’s decision to launch the interview on her birthday—because why wouldn’t the world pause for her special day?—proved to be a significant miscalculation.

CBS had aimed to air the segment in the fall when audiences typically return from summer vacations, ready to engage with new content.

Yet, Meghan’s team insisted on the birthday premiere, disregarding the network’s strategic insights.

The outcome?

A disappointing flop, overshadowed by competing shows and failing to capture the audience’s attention.

Clearly, scheduling a media event during a personal celebration isn’t the best recipe for success.

Adding to the humor of the situation, CBS had invested considerable resources in promoting the interview, anticipating it would be a major hit.

However, when Meghan’s team pushed for unauthorized changes to the interview format, CBS found itself scrambling to rely on clips rather than a full promotional rollout.

It felt almost as if Meghan and her entourage were engaged in a game of sabotaging their own media opportunities.

But it’s not just the interview that has gone awry.

Meghan’s philanthropic pursuits, especially through her Archewell Foundation, have also stumbled.

Once heralded as a significant charitable initiative, Archewell has become synonymous with her apparent lack of true commitment.

Reports suggest that Meghan dedicates less than an hour each week to its operations, which raises eyebrows about her genuine interest in charitable work.

Despite these setbacks, Meghan seems perpetually blindsided by the criticism she faces.

The interview failed to generate the headlines she desired, perhaps because the public is more engrossed in pressing global issues than in her repetitive narratives.

Instead of taking these lessons to heart, Meghan and her team appear to double down on their approach, demonstrating that they might be the only ones oblivious to the keys to success in the unpredictable landscape of her media career.

The latest episode serves as yet another illustration of how high-stakes gambles can often backfire.

Each attempt to reshape her public persona seems to unfold like a farcical play, where the script goes awry at every turn.
