In Meghan Markle’s world, the pursuit of public admiration and prestige often seems like an unending quest.
Her latest endeavor at self-promotion involves some dubious claims regarding her connections with high-profile organizations such as the UN Foundation, UN Women, the World Bank, and the Clinton Foundation. As is often the case, her efforts appear to prioritize image over substance.
On August 12, 2014, Markle took to social media to share an enigmatic post about her supposed involvement with these esteemed institutions. She expressed her enthusiasm with a message that read: “So overjoyed by this day with the UN Foundation, UN Women, the World Bank, and the Clinton Foundation. I’m grateful for every second of this experience. More details soon. #GlobalSolutions.” The post was accompanied by a photograph of Markle in a business-like setting, but both the content of the message and the photo were ambiguous.
Interestingly, Markle's claims of engagement with these organizations might be more about appearances than actual involvement. According to a source close to Markle, during a break from her role on "Suits," she allegedly reached out to the UN headquarters with a request to intern there. Her stated aim was to fetch coffee and attend meetings, which hardly seems like a significant contribution given the high-profile nature of the organizations she associated herself with.
A glaring issue with this account is the grammatical error in the source material, where “could have took” should have been “could have taken.” Such errors, while minor in casual conversation, undermine the credibility of written claims, especially from someone trying to project an image of sophistication and competence. It almost appears that Markle’s self-promotional activities are marred by a failure to execute even basic language skills, further diminishing the perceived sincerity of her efforts.
Beyond the grammatical slip, there is the matter of Markle’s actual engagement with these organizations. The photos she shared, taken in a grand foyer while dressed inappropriately for the occasion, did not exactly convey a serious professional demeanor. Her choice of attire and vague references suggested a disconnect between her desired image and the nature of the organizations she claimed to be involved with. The stark contrast between her stylish ensemble and the serious nature of the institutions added to the drama.
Adding to the controversy, Markle reportedly snubbed UN Women during an overseas trip, despite having a scheduled meeting with them. This incident seems to reinforce the notion that her relationships with these organizations might not be as strong or respectful as she would like us to believe. It raises the question: was her social media post merely an attempt to create the illusion of influence and involvement?
Furthermore, the absence of hashtags for the organizations mentioned in her post is telling. It almost seems as if Markle anticipated potential backlash and sought to cover her tracks with plausible deniability. After all, if these organizations were genuinely endorsing her efforts, one would expect them to be prominently tagged.
Ultimately, Meghan Markle’s latest stunt serves as another example of her penchant for self-aggrandizement. Her attempts to associate herself with global institutions, coupled with questionable fashion choices and a lack of substantive engagement, paint a picture of someone more interested in the appearance of influence than in making a genuine impact. It seems as though she is trying to play the role of a high-profile advocate without fully committing to it. In the end, this approach appears as hollow as her carefully curated social media posts.
