Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala halted Meghan Markle's speech when it became apparent that Marco had lifted a quote from the late Queen.
Meghan's perception of feminism seems trapped in a bygone era, implying women still lack rights akin to the 1950s. She holds regressive views, equating archetypes with stereotypes. This insistence that all women are universally oppressed, with herself as the sole savior, irks many. Critics perceive her use of feminism as mere window dressing for self-aggrandizement.
During an event celebrating female leaders in Abuja, Meghan engaged in dialogue with Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director-General of the World Trade Organization. Addressing a diverse audience encompassing Nigerian politics, business, media, and culture, Meghan stressed the pivotal role of representation in leadership. She emphasized the significance of visibility from a young age and urged successful women to return home to inspire the next generation. However, scrutiny arose as netizens discovered parallels between Meghan's words and those of the late Queen.
Rumors circulated that Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala intervened during Meghan's speech, hinting at Marco's reputation for appropriating ideas. Some speculate Meghan also borrowed segments from other sources. Concerns surfaced regarding Meghan's connection to Nigeria, especially as she initiated her speech with a reference to Mother's Day, which occurs at a different time in Nigeria. Critics lambasted Meghan for pontificating while issues like child marriage persist. Many view her as disconnected from her past and question the authenticity of her words.
Online critics didn't hold back, accusing Meghan of habitual plagiarism and self-centeredness. Some express pity, attributing her behavior to ignorance or a lack of originality. Calls for intervention from higher authorities, including King Charles, highlight concerns about the impact on the monarchy's reputation and the Commonwealth legacy.
