Celebrity Meghan Markle / Rachel Meghan Markle / Meghan, Duchess of Sussex / Meghan Sussex / The Alliterate One - Markle Snarkle

[Amerikaner Teddybär]

I don't think there was ever as big of an embarrassment to the British Royal Family than Meghan Markle.

 

[Cucktry Roads]

I always laughed at this coon and how you can tell the royal family doesn't want her in the bloodline.

Anyways, something worth mentioning is you might wanna delve deeper into Prince Harry in the thread. I know the guy used to dress up like a Nazi at parties and it's worth noting how he became so pussy whipped to her. There's also the whole theory about his actual dad being Dianna's security detail.

Fergie, Andrew, and Charles are going to be relieved to hear that. The 90’s was fucking WILD for BRF scandal. Their scandals actually embarrassed the BRF; at this point, Meghan is making them look amazing.

I actually disagree with you on that first point. There is copious evidence that the BRF bent over backwards to try to help Meghan. QEII assigned her a personal lady-in-waiting to try to help Meghan get acclimated; Charles bought Meghan hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of dresses to try to keep her happy out of his own funds; Catherine extended olive branch after olive branch. I think William knew she was trouble from day one though, probably because she would not stop shooting fuck-me-eyes at him.

I definitely agree there should be a section on Harry, how hard the BRF worked to successfully rehab his image, and what a broken depressed pile of “my mummy died 30 years ago” he is these days. I’ll work on that.

I must say that Markle has to be, I don't know, like one of the top 5 most beautiful celebrities in the world

God I hope you’re being sarcastic or referencing something that flew over my head because:


She’s got a hairline you could land a plane inside, dead shark eyes, and fridge torso resting precariously atop stork legs with scuba fins for feet.

How much Charles spent on Meghan in 2018. She’s remained one of the top most expensive royals to dress in Europe and she only “worked” for 18 months. And I believe this excludes her wedding and reception dresses.

There was a rumor going around that Meghan had her "stylist" Jessica Mulroney, getting clothes for Megan for free, or a greatly reduced price. Clothing companies were happy to do this, hoping the garments would sell more if they were seen on Meghan. There's something called the Catherine Effect, as clothing the PoW and her children wear usually sells out quickly.

Meghan would then send faked invoices to King Charles for the clothing, get the cash from him, then have Mulroney sell the clothing after Meghan wore it, and they would split the proceeds.

That's one reason why Meghan rarely, if ever wore the same thing twice.

I agree, Harry is an equally, if not more, interesting part of the story. While Meghan is an annoying attention whore who seems catty and unpleasant to be around, Harry is the weak embarrassment of a man who was willing to backstab his family and piss away the respect of his entire nation just to appease his astroturfed Yoko Ono.

What I personally dislike most about Harry and Meghan is their constant need to have their cake and eat it in regards to their public presence. I don't think it's inherently wrong for a royal to want to step away from royal duties; they have the role thrust onto them at birth whether they're mentally fit to live in the public eye or not, and had the couple just moved away and lived a relatively private lifestyle from that point on I'd respect the decision. The problem is the books/Oprah appearances/Spotify podcasts etc. prove they clearly do want to enjoy the benefits of Harry's status as part of the royal family, without following the protocols and meeting the expectations to justify that more lavish lifestyle.

This is a great OP, I look forward to reading the finished version. I have a passive interest in the royal family but I've always wondered why Meghan in particular was so controversial.

I found two mistakes while I was reading, I don't know how but you seem to have written 'issue' when I assume you meant child/children:

Harry is fifth behind William and his issue

In the case of both their issue

ETA: Disregard that, I have been exposed for my shocking lack of royal lineage terminology knowledge.

 

[Winsome Whimsical Waif]

This OP has great potential! I loved reading what's here so far.

One of the controversies I remember from Meghan + Harry's wedding is that some of the flowers (lily of the valleys) used in Meghan's bouquet, and in the flower girls' headpieces are toxic and that Meghan was unwilling to substitute the flowers or allow the flower girls themselves to avoid the flowers. Which I can totally understand Princess Catherine getting upset at Meghan for putting the flowers over the safety of the children in the wedding party, especially if she was still recovering from pregnancy.

Spoiler: Detail of Meghan Markle's Wedding Bouquet

Additionally, in looking this up I found out that Meghan's bouquet also included forget-me-nots, allegedly one of Princess Diana's favorite flowers, so add another point to the 'Meghan Skin-walking Diana Theory'. Her bouquet also looks bizarrely similar to Princess Catherine's bouquet so I don't know what to think at this point.

Spoiler: Princess Catherine and Meghan Markle Bouquet Comparison

Here's a quote from an article talking about her bouquet that discusses the arrangement.

While small, Meghan's bouquet by florist Philippa Craddock was rich in significance. The arrangement was comprised of scented sweet peas, lily of the valley, astilbe, jasmine, astrantia and several flowers hand-picked by Harry from the couple's private garden at Kensington Palace.

In a touching nod to Harry's late mother, Craddock also included forget-me-nots, Princess Diana's favorite flower. It included sprigs of myrtle too—a tradition for royal brides—from a plant grown from the myrtle used in the Queen’s wedding bouquet of 1947. The bouquet was bound with a raw silk ribbon.

My 86 year old nan was telling me how she thinks the babies she had were fakes and were from another woman.
It's all probably true and these people are lizards or some shit.

She is the third most attractive woman on Suits

Of course this was going to happen. Yes, subjectively speaking I think she's an attractive woman. She got pretty fucking far in life so I can't be the only one. Or are we pretending she won Harry over with her sparkling personality?

I'd like to think the part I wrote about her being a psycho bitch who thinks she's treated worse than a woman who forced an abdication is more important, but whatever.

You say “sparkling personality,” I say, “she could probably suck a baseball through a garden hose.”

Why is there no laugh sticker? That was funny.

Has anyone tanked in life as hard as Harry the Bastard? The apotheosis of 'what pussy does to a mf'.

I found two mistakes while I was reading, I don't know how but you seem to have written 'issue' when I assume you meant child/children:

Issue is correct. It means any first-generation descendants of an individual and is a common term to use when discussing nobility. It is different than saying children as it excludes any potential step children or foster children. You also see it in wills sometimes.

For example, Charles’ children includes his step-children Laura Lopes and Tom Parker Bowles. Charles issue are exclusively William and Harry.

She got pretty fucking far in life so I can't be the only one.

Her biggest claim to fame aside from marrying the spare was being in a TV show most people have never heard of, and even then she probably used whatever connections her father had to make what little progress she did in the industry. Asides from Suits, everything Meghan has attempted to do has been a disaster. PhilosophyTube has a more impressive IMDB.

As for looks I will concede she isn't hideously ugly, but she's no prettier than the average social media influencer.

On her hater groups one of the big rumors last year was that Harry loves her because she tosses a mean salad. Any time she and Harry discuss “roast chicken” we’re to imagine him on his back holding his knees while she rims his ginger cavern.

Sorry for the visual.

ETA - I’m mistaken, same position but pegging

 

[Retarded INTP]

On Christmas Day, 2019, while exiting the church, William found himself perilously close to Meghan.

Rather than risk actually speaking to her, he proceeded to fuss with his scarf for practically an eternity until Catherine stepped between them.

Rimming or pegging would both be funnier options, but my personal belief is that he only married her because he knew it would piss off the royal family, and Harry has been in a perpetual state of 'FUCK YOU DAD' since he was a teen.

Might actually be worth adding a mini-bio of Harry to the OP for the benefit of anyone unfamiliar with his escapades. If you do, make sure to include this classic faux pas:

[Meghan Sparkle the Second]

[Nota bene: this thread is intended to formalize the Markle Snarkle that has been ongoing in the A & N thread “British Royal Family Drama” for the Beauty Parlor subforum, alongside such celebricows as Madonna, Grimes, and Tara Strong.]

This was getting pretty long, but I wanted to post this before working on the final two sections (post megxit controversies and a turn in public perception)

I am looking for assistance to finish polishing up this post:

• Fact check this post: there are a lot of rumors and “blinds” about Meghan Markle. I tried to more or less stick to the facts because they are much funnier than fiction
• Any funny happenings I may have missed, as I more or less wrote this from memory of things that I laughed at in the past 3 years. For example, I seem to recall Meghan intentionally getting papped while dating Harry, and her gatecrashing a wedding to hang with him on a separate occasion.
• “Why is meghan hated”. I struggled with this section because I’ve enjoyed hating on her for so long that I forgot why.
• If you have consumed any first person sources and believe particular snippets should be shared, please do. This includes but is not limited to: the podcast Archetypes; defunct blog, The Tig; anything in Omid Scobie’s book which she admitted she contributed to in a court filing; Spare by Sparry Harry; The Bench; With Love, Meghan
• Any snippets from non-tabloid second-person sources such as The Palace Papers which I have not read or Revenge which I plan to reread this week
• More collections of meghan getting pissed off at people, especially gifs (glaring at doria, snarling at the assistant at QEII funeral walkabout)
• A collection of meghan’s worst outfits so we can point and laugh at them

Great OP. Despite my username, I don't have much knowledge about Markle drama (or the Sussex), I only remember public opinion turning against them after the South Park episode. I can only add from the average Euro perspective and my brief visits to r/saintmeghanmarkle.

I think it would be useful to add more about Prince Harry, as the most tragic part out of this is probably how it caused his fall from grace. Harry was seen as the most eligible (royal) bachelor back in the mid 2010s, and was especially popular among women. He was on first position in popularity pools ahead of QEII, William and Kate in 2014. He was seen as the most relatable brother for the people from serving in the army and being seen as less uptight in general, despite his multiple controversies.

It's probably the reason why criticism against Meghan was seen as jealousy at first. Harry clearly had a thing for blonde British socialites, according to his dating history, so him dating a divorced, non-Anglican black American actress was seen as coming out of left field. But whatever, it was a few years after Amal Clooney, times had changed.

It was seen as overall positive, in the US because she was the WOC who would shake up the colonialist institution that is the Royal Family. As for why Meghan used to be beloved, and is now hated :

1. There was definitively a vibe shift towards how celebrities are perceived during the Covid. While posting about having a lavish lifestyle for people to fawn over was the dominant trend on social media before, as people are struggling economically, it's now seen as egregious and disrespectful. As a reminder, people in the UK had to protest as thousand of families couldn't afford to pay their energy bills, people having to renounce eating three meals a day or paying a train fare for a family member funeral... all for a part of that money to go to the pockets of some rich LA socialites. Back in 2018, a lavish royal marriage was seen as the event of the year, in 2025, seeing Meghan prance around her million dollars house in LA trying to sell cake mix is out of touch and tacky. Even worse when the millionaire gets stingy, and tries to get her own expenses covered by the taxpayers, like when she tried to get the Canadian government to pay for her security expenses when she was in Vancouver.

2. The Royal Family wasn't in favour back then, especially as revelations about Epstein came out, and QEII took a huge hit in the public eye from protecting Andrew from being interrogated. The royal family being a racist, nepotist institution wasn't seen as incongruous. As it always happen with a celebrity dying, QEII's death rehabilitated her and the royal family as a whole, so Meghan and Harry's attacks towards the royal institution were seen extremely unfavourably. Especially as the country was still recovering from having lost the monarch they had for 70 years, having an American foreigner trying to disrupt the national union was seen as incredibly distasteful.

3. In 2017, around the time he was dating Meghan, Harry gained a significant boost in popularity after opening to the press about his trauma related to his mother's death. He probably thought he could do it again with Spare, but that backfired terribly. People in 2017 were ready to hear about poor orphaned Harry complaining about his life and the paparazzi. But in 2023, they couldn't care less about a royal heir pitying himself for growing up in a castle and not being on daddy's penny anymore, when they lost their jobs and family members during the pandemic.

4. Meghan switching from being the black sheep in a racist and colonialist institution, to trying to hold on to all the royal benefits as soon as she's out of it. She now comes across as being an hypocrite at best, and a social climber at worst. Harry and Meghan leaving the royal institution was seen as positive, as it was mostly understood they wouldn't live on the royal's dime anymore and just as regular celebrities making money for themselves. Until it became soon clear their understanding of being independent was still having their lifestyle funded by the royal family, but without any of the responsabilities, and they had no intention of getting a regular job. They could have easily gotten financially independent from profiting off their own celebrity status, but even a podcast was too hard of a task.

Most of the hate towards Meghan comes from her narcissism and not having moved on from 2018, doubling down on being a glamorous celebrity trying to save their dwindling finances when it's only bringing her more scorn from the public. Harry is probably just as out of touch, but he used to be so beloved in the UK people prefer to believe he was manipulated and emasculated by Markle.
