The director's cut of the 30's corn chips commercial didn't just omit Meghan's lines; it also silenced her groaning voice, a detail that surprisingly gained traction as the video resurfaced.
Back then, Meghan Markle, then an aspiring actress of 27, struggled to inject allure into her portrayal of a shopper perusing snacks for a gathering. The director, taken aback by her attempt to exude sensuality, opted to replace her voice with a more suitable one, deeming her performance lackluster. Despite her prior acting experience, the execution fell flat, drawing criticism for its uninspired portrayal.
The scrutiny surrounding Meghan and Harry extends beyond their commercial endeavors. As they transitioned away from their royal duties and settled in the U.S. in 2020, they embarked on various projects, not all of which have been successful. Speaking at a November event, Meghan hinted at forthcoming announcements, expressing pride in their ventures.
However, their pursuits have faced setbacks, with some projects failing to materialize. Even as Meghan reminisced about her role in the hit series "Suits," her return to acting has been met with skepticism, especially as an old Tostitos commercial featuring her resurfaced, highlighting her struggles to captivate audiences even in a minor role.
In the realm of public opinion, the Sussexes have encountered dwindling support, particularly in the United States. Despite teasing exciting developments, their ventures have failed to resonate, leading to a decline in popularity. Their attempts to carve out new paths post-royalty have been met with skepticism and disappointment, reflecting a disconnect between their aspirations and audience expectations.
The resurgence of Meghan's old commercial underscores the challenges she faces in reentering the entertainment industry. While her stint in "Suits" garnered attention, her recent endeavors have been met with scrutiny. Even a simple advertisement for corn chips became fodder for criticism, with viewers questioning her ability to engage audiences. As the commercial resurfaces, it serves as a reminder of Meghan's struggles to find her footing outside the confines of the royal spotlight.
Meghan's journey from actress to Duchess to independent entrepreneur has been fraught with challenges and criticism. While she and Harry have sought to forge their own path, their endeavors have faced scrutiny and skepticism. As they navigate their post-royal lives, they continue to grapple with public perception and the expectations that come with their high-profile status.
