In a twist of fate that seems almost scripted, Meghan Markle found herself on the outside looking in at the recent premiere of Gladiator 2.

The event unfolded on Wednesday, November 13, at the iconic Leicester Square in London, and it was nothing short of a star-studded spectacle.

With A-listers like Pedro Pascal and Denzel Washington gracing the red carpet, the absence of Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, was conspicuous and certainly raised eyebrows.

For someone who often voices her grievances about negative media portrayals, Meghan appears to have a knack for playing the victim.

It’s almost as if she believes the world revolves around her struggles, particularly when it comes to the British press.

Yet, here’s a reality check: gossip and rumors are universal experiences.

They don’t just target royals; everyday folks face their share of whispers too.

The premiere itself was a dazzling affair, drawing fans eager to catch a glimpse of their favorite stars.

Pedro Pascal, with his undeniable charm, and the legendary Denzel Washington were the highlights of the evening.

One memorable moment occurred when a fan had a delightful exchange with Washington, who, upon being nudged by security to head inside due to King Charles’s arrival, cheekily remarked, “I’ll make my own rules.”

Despite the playful banter, he eventually made his way to greet the king, demonstrating a level of respect expected at such high-profile gatherings.

Naturally, social media erupted following this interaction.

Twitter became a battleground for misinformation, with some entertainment accounts exaggerating the encounter to suggest that Washington had snubbed the monarch.

One tweet, which garnered over 6.4 million views, inaccurately claimed that Denzel had ignored King Charles.

In truth, the actor was simply engaging with fans, showcasing his approachable nature.

But who needs accuracy when sensational stories are so much more entertaining?

Meghan’s supporters, often referred to as the “sewer squad” due to their online antics, eagerly latched onto this narrative.

They twisted the details to paint the royal family in a negative light, celebrating any perceived slight against them as a victory for Meghan.

This tactic of spreading misinformation and engaging in race-baiting rhetoric has become a hallmark of her fan base, even as they overlook their own contradictions.

While Meghan and Harry advocate for kindness and inclusivity, they remain conspicuously silent when their supporters resort to divisive tactics.

If there were an award for opportunism, the Sussexes and their followers would undoubtedly take home the trophy.

Meghan’s belief that she deserves a place among Hollywood’s elite is quite audacious, especially considering her rocky transition from royal life to Tinseltown.

Upon leaving the UK, Meghan seemed to envision herself as the star of every major event, perhaps even casting herself in blockbuster films.

However, Hollywood didn’t exactly roll out the red carpet for her.

The reality is stark: while Ridley Scott continues to create cinematic hits at the age of 86, Meghan’s filmography remains disappointingly sparse, a far cry from the lofty aspirations she once held.

Pedro Pascal, merely six years younger than Meghan, has flourished in his career, earning genuine respect in the industry.

Meanwhile, Meghan’s much-anticipated projects, like her animated series Pearl and a cooking show, have yet to materialize, leaving many to wonder about her true impact on the entertainment landscape.

In contrast, the British royal family continues to play a significant role in the cultural fabric of the UK.

Recently, King Charles and Queen Camilla celebrated the centenary of the film and TV charity at Buckingham Palace, mingling with industry professionals who have made tangible contributions to the arts.

This is what true class looks like—showing up, being gracious, and supporting the creative community, rather than making every occasion a personal stage.

Meghan seemed to believe she could eclipse the royals, outshining them with her glamour and charisma.

However, each desperate attempt to reclaim her relevance only underscores her miscalculation.

She’s become something of a bull in a china shop, clashing with the established norms of both Hollywood and royal life.
