Meghan Markle, the wife of Prince Harry, just tried to bash the royal family once again. Indeed, in a new interview, Meghan revealed what royal protocols she felt were “inauthentic.”
Unfortunately for Meghan, however, it didn’t take long for this to backfire on her in a big way. Much to her dismay, this is blowing up in her face days later.
Meghan Bashes Royals Again
While being interviewed by Bloomberg last week, Meghan whined that things like not being as vocal as she’d like and having to wear pantyhose “felt a little inauthentic” to her when she was a senior royal.
“But that’s a silly example,” said Meghan, 44. “But it is an example of when you’re able to dress the way you want to dress, and you’re able to say the things that are true and you’re able to show up in the space really organically and authentically, that’s being comfortable in your own skin.”
Meghan concluded by saying that in her new life in Southern California, where she was born and raised, she doesn’t feel she needs to “prove anything.”
This Blows Up In Meghan’s Face
This has since backfired on Meghan, as royal experts are saying that she’s actually the one who came off as insincere here.
“I thought Meghan’s anecdote about pantyhose was ludicrous. In a story meant to remind us of how suffocating being a very brief member of the royal family was, Meghan tells the host, ‘I hadn’t seen pantyhose since movies in the ’80s when they came in the little egg.’ That felt a little bit ‘inauthentic,’” royal expert Kinsey Schofield of YouTube show Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered told Fox News.
“This is the same woman that waxed poetically about Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, on her ‘Confessions of a Female Founder’ podcast,” she added.
Schofield went on to talk about season two of Meghan’s Netflix series With Love, Meghan, which premiered last week to abysmal reviews.
“Meghan’s pity parties sell and if I were Netflix, I would be angry that a far more personal interview was released the same day as her streaming program where we hardly get any insight into Meghan’s private life with Harry,” Schofield stated.
With Love Meghan Is ‘Cringey’
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams was quick to agree. Like Schofield, he also found With Love, Meghan season two to be incredibly inauthentic.
“It is instructive seeing this whilst wading through the vacuous second series of With Love, Meghan,” he said. “It’s trivial, smiley and cringey.”
Fitzwilliams then said that Meghan’s “crack” at the royal family about inauthenticity “was an obvious ploy to get headlines. She knows that any mention of her time as a senior working royal gets instant worldwide attention.”
Schofield chimed back in to say that Meghan’s “constant contradictions are jarring.”
“Insinuating that nude tights are somehow archaic while promoting a TV series where she’s glued to a kitchen being Susie Homemaker,” she continued.
The Royals Made Meghan Famous
Not stopping there, Schofield pointed out despite Meghan “moaning about not having a voice,” the truth is that the “royal family gave Meghan the platform she has today. She would not have the opportunities she has in 2025 if it weren’t for her proximity to the British royal family. It would be nice to hear her acknowledge that.”
“If you’re constantly having to tell us how authentic you are… you probably aren’t as authentic as you think you are,” she quipped.
Ouch, that has got to sting for Meghan!
In the end, Meghan can bash the royal family all that she wants to, but all she’s accomplishing is making herself look worse. The entire world sees right through Meghan just like the royal family did all along.
Sorry, Meghan, but it’s clear to all that the only inauthentic one here is you. Sad!
