Renowned American actress Meghan Markle, known for her tumultuous journey as the Duchess of Sussex and a former member of the British royal family, has ventured back into her artistic career with an advertising campaign for the latte brand 'Clevr,' in which she is a private investor.
However, her unexpected return to acting has been met with harsh criticism in the United States, where some have labeled her performance as "disastrous."
The advertising campaign, featuring Meghan Markle in a role that depicts a "nerdy worker," has triggered a wave of disapproval from both the public and specialized media in her native country.
Critics argue that her portrayal is "embarrassing," with The Evening Standard suggesting that this move signals a downward trajectory for Markle, emphasizing that "the only way is down." GBNews chimed in, claiming that it illustrates how "Meghan is being more Hollywood than royalty."
Public sentiment echoes the criticism, as comments on her promotional video highlight a perceived decline in Markle's status since her departure from Buckingham Palace in early 2020. One Instagram user remarked, "I guess this is her working 1 hour a week.
From representing the late Queen Elizabeth II to packaging coffees," expressing a sentiment of disappointment. Another added, "Haha the duchess of Instagram, what a fall from grace."
Critics are quick to categorize her return as "desperate for attention" and view it as a "strange way to make a fool of herself after being a member of royalty." Meghan Markle, who, along with Prince Harry, stepped away from royal duties in 2020 to establish a new life in the United States, continues to grapple with media scrutiny and criticism since their departure from monarchical life.
