Each public person should be morally prepared for its general discussion, and not always flattering words. But the scale of the negative comments that hit Meghan Markle this year seemed truly unprecedented. The baiting of the duchess was compared with the hunt for Princess Diana, writes "Gossip".
But if the paparazzi literally drove Lady Dee as a wild beast in attempts to get exclusive photos, then Megan was criticized on the net and on the pages of the press, which the duchess's relatives merged more and more details about the personality of Prince Harry's wife. Many famous people even stood up for Markle. We suggest recalling who then supported Megan and figuring out what the phenomenon of such persecution is.
Earlier this year, Kensington Palace turned to Instagram to protect Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle from haters. But if the Duchess of Cambridge was simply called boring by ill-wishers, then the Duchess of Sussex would have been accused of more biting accusations. Many accused Megan of hypocrisy and pretense, excessive play on the public (the invariable hand on her stomach during her pregnancy became a real red rag for netizens).
He added fuel to the fire and father Meghan Markle, who became a regular supplier of rumors and gossip for the press, although his daughter repeatedly asked him to stop talking to reporters.
Fans note that even the presentation of publications about the two duchesses in the press is fundamentally different. While the articles about Kate are often quite flattering in nature, then the covers with Megan are accompanied by loud headlines like "Royal family in shock!"
However, the matter is not only in journalists - fans find that the very behavior of the two duchesses in public differs markedly. An example of this is the recent BBC Christmas show, the characters of which were Kate Middleton and Prince William. His viewers compared it with a documentary about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, where the Duchess of Sussex preferred to complain about how difficult she was living (talking about the video where she even shed a tear, talking about the pressure and negativity she had to face).
“This is how royalty should appear in documentaries. Help charities, be nice and friendly, not take yourself too seriously, ”wrote one of the netizens.
“This is what we want the royal family to be! And not the way they are asked if they are okay and if they were able to get out of bed today, ”another commentator echoed.

Experts have repeatedly tried to explain the phenomenon of this mass rejection of the Duchess of Sussex. Among the main reasons for hating her was her origin (Megan is an American, and not from the most prosperous family; as already mentioned, her father has repeatedly become the provocateur of another scandal in the press).
Her former profession is also embarrassing, because before her marriage, Markle was an actress (at the same time, I must say, it’s not so very famous or incredibly talented, so the parallels with Grace Kelly are not very appropriate here). Many believe that Megan continued to play in public and ended up in the palace, hence the regular accusations of hypocrisy and lies.
On Twitter, users even launched the Megxit hashtag (similar to Brexit, the UK exit movement from the EU). And the most intolerant opponents of the duchess even compare her little son Archie (the baby was born in May 2019) with ... Harvey Weinstein!
Megan’s life began in the palace quite optimistically: a fabulous wedding, followed by millions around the world, joint outings with Queen Elizabeth II, during which both smiled carelessly and talked about something.

But then the colors began to thicken. So, in November last year, it became known that Megan allegedly wanted to put on a tiara from the queen’s treasury for the wedding, and she even had to conduct an educational conversation with her beloved grandson and explain to him that his wife could not get everything she wanted. Then rumors began to appear about the enmity of the two duchesses, and after that - about the quarrel between the brothers of Prince William and Prince Harry.
Last summer, Megan and Harry again gave cause for accusing them of inappropriate behavior. Resonant flights of a couple on a private jet became resonant, while Kate and William were seen in the economy class of a regular commercial flight.
However, renting a business jet was far from the only complaint regarding the financial expenses of the couple. Then the press reported that about 2,6 million euros ($ 2,9 million, and the money was taken from the treasury) were spent on the repair of the Frogmore Cottage, where Megan and Harry moved from Kensington Palace, and the baby shower party, which Megan spent for her friends in the United States, cost 200 thousand euros (223 thousand dollars).
The cost of renting a penthouse in a hotel in Manhattan, where they celebrated, according to press reports, is 67 thousand euros (75 thousand dollars) per night.
Reporters recounted the expenses of the duchess on outfits and accessories. The Irish Times published information that over the past two years, the total value of all the jewelry in which Megan appeared is 670 thousand euros (748 thousand dollars). A wardrobe during pregnancy cost 550 thousand euros (614 thousand dollars).
In 2018, Markle, according to journalists, spent about 440 thousand dollars on 1 new items of clothing (for comparison, in the same year, Kate Middleton, according to reporters, spent only 661 thousand dollars).
The budget jumpsuit from H&M for 16 euros (about $ 18), in which Megan's little son Archie appeared during a tour of South Africa, could no longer melt the hearts of critics. In addition, in another photo, netizens looked at socks from Bonpoint, which are sold for 100 euros (about $ 112) for a pack of three pairs.
“The PR service is trying its best,” they sarcastically commented on the Web on an attempt to “light up” a budget item.
At some point, the situation began to get out of control - not only users of social networks, but also stars began to comment on the position of Megan. They, however, sided with Markle. In support of the Duchess spoke George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, Helena Bonham Carter, Kim Kardashian.
Another representative of the royal family, Sarah Ferguson, the former wife of Prince Andrew, became an ally of the duchess.
“It's time to realize that much of social media has just become a drain. Women (Kate and Megan - Approx. Ed.) are constantly opposed to each other and compared with each other. It reminds me of how people made Diana and me rivals all the time. Although we were not! ” - Sarah noted in her open letter, which was published in the magazine HELLO!
Even Hillary Clinton said her word!
“Oh god, I want to hug her! As a mother, I just want to put my hand on her shoulder. I just want to tell her to stick around and not let these bad people get confused. Keep doing what you think is right, ”said the former US presidential candidate.

In gratitude, Megan invited Clinton to their Frogmore Cottage residence with Harry to chat in a relaxed home environment and introduce their son Archie.
Many saw Markle in this behavior as a well-calculated strategy. Say, recently, the journalist and writer Andrew Mortal, who published several biographical books about the royal family, told the authoritative Vanity Fair that the stars, including George Clooney and Oprah Winfrey, were invited to the wedding of Megan and Harry with a special purpose.
Despite the fact that Markle herself supposedly didn’t know the above-mentioned people, she immediately realized that it would be profitable for her to secure their support in the future. If the author's assumptions are correct, then the calculation really worked.
However, Megan was clearly not going to hope only for the help of the famous allies. In October of this year, she herself launched a hairpin to British journalists who disliked her.
During an interview for a documentary about their visit to Africa with Harry, Megan remembered being warned of the insidiousness of the local press.
“When I first met my current husband, my friends were very happy for me because I was so happy. But my British friends told me, "We're sure he's great, but you shouldn't stay with him because the British tabloids will ruin your life." And I very naively thought: I’m an American, we don’t have that - what are you talking about? I didn't immediately understand what they mean, ”Megan admitted.
Well, this year, the Duchess of Sussex has repeatedly had the opportunity to get acquainted with the work of British journalists - her year turned out to be eventful and obviously very emotional. It is not surprising that at the end of the year she and Harry chose to take a break and temporarily disappear from the public eye. So they spend their Christmas holidays in Canada and the USA.
We will find out very soon whether the persecution of the duchess will continue in the new year. And do you think the criticism of Meghan Markle is fair?
