The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are back in the spotlight, and things are getting interesting. Meghan Markle, ever the attention-seeker, seems to be using her son—who some even speculate might be more of a PR prop than a real presence—for yet another publicity stunt.
It’s a pattern we’ve seen before, and here we go again. For years, royal watchers have noticed something unusual about the way Harry and Meghan handle their children’s public presence. Unlike Prince William and Catherine, who find a balance between privacy and duty by sharing appropriate moments of their children’s lives, the Sussexes have kept Archie and Lilibet mostly hidden. Where are the natural, candid family photos? The public appearances that would prove they’re not just using their kids for convenience? Instead, they demand the perks of royal status while constantly criticizing the institution that gave them that platform in the first place.
It’s baffling that a couple who claimed they left royal life for privacy can’t seem to stop talking about themselves. From explosive interviews to Netflix deals and tell-all books, they’ve done everything but step out of the limelight. If they genuinely wanted a peaceful life, they’d be living quietly, not monetizing every personal detail. Meghan’s latest attempt to tug at public sympathy is just another example. We’re expected to believe that a five-year-old wakes up worrying about his mother’s workload? That level of narrative crafting is almost laughable. It’s just another way she manipulates public perception, always shifting the story to suit her latest venture.
Meanwhile, real struggles are happening within the royal family. Catherine has been facing significant health challenges with dignity and grace, while William remains steadfast by her side. In contrast, what exactly is Meghan working so hard on? Sending gift baskets to celebrities? Convincing Netflix to bankroll her latest project? She’s hardly taking on the kind of royal responsibilities that other members of the family have dedicated their lives to. Even at her age, Princess Anne continues to work tirelessly, while Meghan acts as if she’s overwhelmed by, well, what exactly? Harry, once the beloved and carefree prince, now appears as nothing more than a shadow of his former self, trailing behind Meghan in photos, looking lost and unhappy. It’s truly a sad transformation.
The latest Netflix project, With Love, Meghan, is yet another blatant attempt to cash in. Are we really supposed to believe that she’s suddenly a domestic goddess? This is the same woman who reportedly had palace staff quitting left and right due to her behavior, and now she wants to sell an image of warmth and relatability? It’s a strategic rebrand, nothing more. Meanwhile, King Charles and Queen Camilla have handled the ongoing drama with patience and class, refusing to stoop to the Sussexes’ level despite constant attacks. They continue to uphold the monarchy’s dignity, even when faced with relentless negativity.
What’s most frustrating is how Meghan and Harry use their children as shields against criticism. Every time scrutiny builds, out comes another carefully crafted anecdote about Archie or Lilibet, designed to evoke emotion and distract from their contradictions. Their most devoted fans eat it up, attacking anyone who dares to question the narrative. But actions speak louder than words. William and Catherine don’t need to fabricate touching family moments—they simply live them. The difference is clear. So, the next time Meghan shares yet another too-perfect story, remember this: real royals don’t have to sell their personal lives for public approval. They lead by example. If you’re as fed up with this circus as I am, let’s discuss—drop your thoughts in the comments.
