Tucker Carlson and Piers Morgan recently took aim at Meghan Markle in an interview that was nothing short of brutal.
While speaking with Morgan in Saudi Arabia, Carlson didn't hold back, delivering a scathing critique of Markle’s long-standing use of racial identity in the public sphere. The former Fox News host bluntly declared that Meghan Markle does not represent Black Americans, making his stance crystal clear for the world to hear. His remarks cut through the carefully curated image Markle has built over the years, raising the question of whether he was directly challenging her entire public persona.
Carlson went on to argue that Markle wasn't truly advocating for racial equality but was instead being used as a symbolic figure by those with political motives—specifically, people who were not supporters of Donald Trump. He suggested that rather than standing for a cause, Markle was more of a pawn in a larger political game. The analogy he used was striking: she was like the person who shows up at a party pretending to have a purpose but is really just there for the free snacks.
Morgan, known for his long-standing criticisms of Markle, wasted no time in agreeing with Carlson’s assessment. He mocked the idea that Meghan represented anyone at all, calling it laughable. According to him, she only speaks for an elite and highly hypocritical group of people who will likely be remembered as one of the most disingenuous circles in history. His words were a cutting blow, suggesting that Markle’s royal status had been reduced to an empty shell of self-promotion and contradiction.
Sky News contributor Louise Roberts also weighed in, highlighting how this critique struck directly at the foundation of Markle’s carefully cultivated public identity. Markle has frequently emphasized her biracial heritage, showcasing it in interviews and appearances, yet as Carlson and Morgan pointed out, this identity seems to be conveniently wielded only when it benefits her image. If she truly cared about representing Black people in a meaningful way, wouldn't she have a more consistent track record of advocacy? Instead, her actions appear sporadic and self-serving, raising doubts about the authenticity of her claims.
One of the most glaring criticisms has been the way Markle selectively embraces her racial identity. Many have noted that she only seems to highlight her Black heritage when it serves a particular narrative. Despite repeatedly discussing her mixed-race background, she is rarely seen with Black relatives other than her mother, Doria Ragland—who just so happens to fit into the image she wants to project. This selective representation has fueled skepticism about her sincerity and has led many to question whether she genuinely stands for anything beyond her personal brand.
Ultimately, Markle doesn’t appear to represent anyone but herself. Her brand is built on shifting identities, playing the victim when convenient, and leveraging whatever narrative serves her at the moment—whether it be race, status, or celebrity. The pattern is becoming increasingly transparent, and public patience seems to be wearing thin. Carlson and Morgan, two men from vastly different political and cultural backgrounds, found common ground in one undeniable truth: Meghan Markle is a contradiction, using her image to serve interests that may not align with the people she claims to represent. As they pointed out, the details of her actions reveal a deeper truth—one that, sooner or later, will catch up with her.
