In the spring of 2018, American actress Meghan Markle married Prince Harry and became a member of the British royal family. Since then, the number of fans and haters of the Duchess of Sussex has grown exponentially. Every step or deed of Megan is vigorously discussed on the network. Numerous rumors and reports from unverified sources add fuel to the fire. Employees leading the official Instagram of Kensington Palace admit that at times they cannot cope with the stream of negative comments about Prince Harry's wife.
Cinderella story
Before meeting his future wife, the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II had affairs, mainly with girls from his circle. Therefore, the choice of an American actress as a life partner for the public was, to put it mildly, unexpected. After all, Megan looked a little like the canons of the royal bride. She is three years older than Harry, was born and raised in the United States, which means she has little knowledge of the history and traditions of British society. The television series Force Majeure brought her fame to the cinema, where the girl appeared more than once in a rather ambiguous form and starred in explicit scenes.
In addition, the actress's parents divorced a long time ago, and she herself had an unsuccessful marriage with director Trevor Engelson in the past, for the sake of which she even changed her religion. And finally, skeptics were haunted by the origin of Megan - her mother is African American. It was clear that such a party would not add points to the image of the royal family. After the marriage of Prince William to Kate Middleton, who was criticized only for her ignoble origin, the choice of Prince Harry did not fit into any framework.
It was rumored that Queen Elizabeth II initially opposed the relationship. However, Harry managed to convince his family, and they accepted his bride. Although this turned out for the Prince of Wales to deteriorate relations with his older brother. According to rumors, Harry was seriously offended when William advised him not to rush into the engagement and wedding. However, the prince in love still acted in his own way, and a year after the beginning of the novel, Megan made a marriage proposal.
In May 2018, the royal wedding took place, after which Miss Markle received the title of Duchess of Sussex. The ceremony, which took place in the Chapel of Windsor Castle, was one of the most high-profile events of 2018. And millions of women around the world, admiring the incredible love story of Harry and Megan, once again believed in the fairy tale of Cinderella, which still happens in this cynical world.
Royal duties and persecution
As a member of the royal family, Meghan found herself shackled by many conventions and responsibilities. From now on, the main direction of her activity is charity, overseeing various foundations and organizations, representing the British Crown on foreign tours. Millions of people are watching with interest how yesterday's actress copes with a new role for herself. And while the Duchess of Sussex, rather, disappoints the audience than delights.
Megan is criticized for violating the official protocol in clothes: contrary to the rules, she allows herself to bare her arms, shoulders, and also neglects tights. In addition, British taxpayers are irritated by the extravagance of the Duchess. While Kate - William's wife - chooses budget outfits and can go out in one dress several times, Harry's wife does not skimp on designer new clothes, spending tens of thousands of dollars.
Meghan's relationship with her father Thomas is also the subject of harassment on social media. As you know, Mr. Markle was unable to attend his daughter's wedding, according to the official version, due to health problems. The real reason for the discord between Thomas and his daughter is called the scandalous behavior of the Duchess's father, who gives reporters for money unseemly interviews about the royal family, Prince Harry, relations with Megan. Not lagging behind Mr. Markle and his eldest daughter Samantha from her first marriage: on the pages of the press and social networks, she mercilessly criticizes a relative. A recent letter that Meghan sent to her father caused a mixed reaction from the public. She is reproached for callousness, cruelty towards loved ones.
Negative comments are pouring down on the Duchess of Sussex in connection with rumors of quarrels with Kate Middleton. Anonymous sources say that Megan's tough and quarrelsome nature became the cause of the breakdown in relations with the wife of Prince William. As a result, the once-friendly sons of Princess Diana now hardly communicate. Former friends and acquaintances accuse Megan of arrogance. Having pulled out a lucky ticket, she stopped communicating with many people from her environment without regret.
The public is also unhappy with the way the Duchess influences her spouse. At her insistence, Prince Harry skips the royal hunt for the second year in a row, as Meghan is a vegetarian and animal protector. Haters are outraged by another violation of long-term traditions, as well as the transformation of Harry into a henpecked.
Friends support
Of course, the Duchess has a hard time. Even the expectation of her first child, who should be born in the spring, does not save her from public negativity. Therefore, friends stood up in defense of Megan. Tennis player Serena Williams offered the former actress to help with the services of PR specialists who will work to improve her image.
Actor George Clooney in an interview expressed outrage at the persecution of the pregnant Duchess. He recalled the tragic story of Princess Diana, who was also mercilessly criticized and persecuted. Clooney said that this should not happen again.
Finally, Sarah Ferguson - the ex-wife of Prince Andrew - supported Meghan in the wake of rumors of a quarrel with Kate Middleton. Sarah admitted that they tried to push her with Princess Diana in the same way, although they were never rivals. Ferguson called the Internet a sewer in which anger, cruelty, intransigence flourish. She urged users who leave negative comments to think better. In the meantime, representatives of Kensington Palace are simply deleting offensive messages, but have already turned to the leadership of Instagram for help in moderating their account.
