The woman from Montecito is back in the spotlight, and this may be her most calculated move yet. King Charles must be seething, and rightly so.
As a dedicated royal commentator, I must say this is one of the most brazen and underhanded stunts we have seen from Meghan Markle. The former cable television actress appears unable to let the royal family live in peace. Reports suggest she has been orchestrating yet another attack on the monarchy, this time by enlisting someone from King Charles's past—Susan George, a former actress he briefly dated before meeting Princess Diana.
For those unfamiliar, Susan George was a well-known British actress in the 1970s, famous for her roles in controversial films and frequent tabloid appearances. What stands out in this situation is her short-lived romance with Charles when he was the Prince of Wales. Now, decades later, she is releasing a memoir titled I Can Do Better. The choice of title alone raises eyebrows—coincidence? Highly unlikely. This appears to follow Meghan’s well-established pattern of influencing others to do her bidding while she remains in the background, carefully curating her public image from her Montecito mansion.
According to well-placed palace sources—contacts I have cultivated over many years—Meghan has been working discreetly to persuade Susan George to reveal intimate details about her past relationship with Charles. This fits a familiar pattern. We saw it with Spare, Prince Harry’s memoir, which had Meghan’s influence written all over it. Now, at a time when the royal family is focused on supporting Catherine’s recovery and maintaining stability, another controversy conveniently surfaces. The timing is far from accidental.
While Princess Catherine prioritizes her health, Prince William supports his family, and King Charles manages his own health issues with grace, Meghan allegedly chooses this moment to strike. It is as if she has an instinct for exploiting the family’s most vulnerable moments. Palace insiders report that this latest development has left senior royals furious. Despite Charles’s consistent efforts to maintain an open-door policy even after the Sussexes’ Netflix series and Spare, this could very well be the breaking point.
Susan George, now in her seventies, has spent decades refraining from discussing her past with Charles. Yet suddenly, she is writing a tell-all memoir? The timing is far too convenient. The truly insidious aspect of this situation is Meghan’s modus operandi—working from behind the scenes, pulling strings while maintaining plausible deniability. Reliable sources suggest she has been using intermediaries to contact individuals from the royal family’s past, gathering potential ammunition for future attacks. This is not about truth or journalism; it is a calculated strategy to keep herself in the headlines and monetize her fleeting connection to the monarchy.
The contrast between the working royals and the Sussexes could not be more stark. While Catherine, William, and King Charles continue their duties with dignity and poise, Meghan and Harry persist in their relentless campaign to chip away at the institution. And if sources are correct, Susan George’s memoir is merely the beginning. Meghan is allegedly compiling a so-called "doomsday file" filled with potentially damaging information to be released at strategic moments—whether for attention, financial gain, or when Netflix needs fresh content.
The hypocrisy of it all is staggering. Meghan and Harry have repeatedly claimed they left the royal family in pursuit of privacy, yet they allegedly have no qualms about dredging up decades-old personal relationships for public consumption. Privacy, it seems, only applies when it suits them. This situation extends beyond Susan George’s book—it represents a continued, systematic effort to undermine an institution that has endured for centuries.
The monarchy has withstood wars, scandals, and upheavals, and it will endure this as well. However, it is particularly painful when the most damaging attacks come from those who were once part of the family. As this latest spectacle unfolds, one thing remains undeniable: the British public’s instincts about Meghan were right from the beginning. This is not about race or nationality—it is about character. The monarchy stands for tradition, service, and duty, not self-promotion and opportunism.
