Meghan Markle, known by some as the Duchess of Delusion, has once again found herself at the center of controversy with her latest calculated move.
Recently, she secured a spot on a panel at the prestigious South by Southwest Festival.
Interestingly, one of her fellow panelists happens to be Katie Couric, who previously didn’t hold back in shedding light on Prince Harry’s less-than-flattering habits of smelling like a walking ashtray drenched in alcohol.
The irony of the situation was not lost on observers when on March 6, 2024, Couric’s past remarks resurfaced from her 2021 memoir.
In it, she candidly recalled an incident where Harry emitted the distinct scent of cigarettes and booze at a polo match in Brazil.
This recollection predates Meghan’s involvement with him, yet she seems unperturbed by the potential implications of Couric’s unfiltered commentary.
In a strategic yet transparent attempt to stir up controversy and draw attention to herself, Meghan appears to have orchestrated a scenario where Couric might make provocative statements aimed at the British royal family during the SXSW event.
It appears that Meghan is pulling the strings behind the scenes, possibly scripting Couric’s lines to cast aspersions on the royals while keeping her own hands clean.
Despite Meghan’s apparent desire to create waves within royal circles, Couric, a figure known for both her journalistic integrity and financial standing, is unlikely to be swayed by such tactics.
With Meghan’s popularity plummeting in the UK and the recent news of King Charles’s cancer diagnosis weighing heavily on the nation, one would expect a more nuanced approach from the Duchess.
However, Meghan’s track record suggests otherwise.
Her infamous Oprah interview further strained relations between her, Harry, and the royal family, alienating them from the British public even more.
Harry’s forthcoming memoir, titled “Spare,” promises to reveal intimate details about his strained relationships within the royal family following Princess Diana’s tragic passing.
Amidst the chaos, PR expert Lynne Carrot from Pressbox PR offered a piece of advice to Meghan: focus on promoting her work rather than dwelling on her royal grievances online.
Yet, Meghan’s fixation on portraying herself as a perpetual victim rather than a proactive figure persists, much to the dismay of her critics.
A crucial point of contention lies in Meghan’s apparent disregard for the responsibilities that come with her royal status.
Instead of gracefully embracing her role, she seems determined to rewrite her narrative, often at the expense of others and the royal family’s reputation.
Unlike Grace Kelly, who seamlessly transitioned into royalty, Meghan’s approach appears more self-serving and disruptive.
As the saying goes, not all publicity is beneficial, especially when it involves alienating an entire nation with dramatic antics.
Meghan’s relentless pursuit of the spotlight may ultimately backfire, tarnishing her image and further isolating her from the very institution she sought to be a part of.
