The public sentiment towards Meghan Markle has taken a sharp turn as numerous netizens accuse her of alleged racism in the aftermath of Omid Scobie's latest book, "Endgame," which reignited discussions about racial issues within the royal family.
The trending hashtag #MeghanMarkleIsARacist has gained traction, with some users claiming that she has altered her appearance through surgeries, eliminated African features, and perpetuated lies about racism. Accusations assert that Meghan, who is of Caucasian and part African descent, has distanced herself from her African heritage and has never dated, married, or associated with individuals of African descent.
A third individual humorously suggested that while Kate is destined to be Queen, Meghan will forever be remembered as a "Deal or No Deal" girl, reflecting on her past career. Furthermore, an intriguing revelation emerged about Meghan claiming to deny a promotion to a Palace officer based on her skin color. The claims indicate that, despite offers of help from individuals such as Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, and Lady Susan Hussey, the late Queen Elizabeth's attendant, Meghan rejected the assistance.
Omid Scobie's book, "Endgame," sheds light on the palace's attempts to provide Meghan with support during her adjustment to royal duties. The Palace reportedly suggested Lieutenant Colonel Nana Coffey, a Garian-born household Cavalry officer, as a mentor to assist Meghan in adapting to her new role. However, Meghan and her friends reportedly found the suggestion insulting, perceiving it as an indication of a lack of black or non-white staff in senior roles.
Scobie reveals that Meghan initially had Lady Susan Hussey assigned to her for guidance, but the former actress turned down the offer, prompting the Palace to suggest Lieutenant Colonel Coffey. Tina Brown, the author of "The Palace Papers," emphasizes the apparent disconnect between Meghan and the palace regarding the selection of individuals to assist her. The perceived insult stemmed from the absence of high-ranking people of color in senior roles and the misguided belief that offering a black equerry would be appreciated.
The controversy surrounding Meghan's alleged race-related decisions and perceptions is unfolding against a backdrop of increasing scrutiny and public backlash. The intricate details unveiled by Scobie's book illuminate the complexities of Meghan's relationships within the royal sphere and how issues of race and hierarchy have influenced her narrative.
