As a New Yorker, Gloria Steinem would be familiar with the potential dangers of a high-speed chase in Midtown, making the staged nature of the incident apparent to her. Critics suggest that Meghan strategically targets elderly victims like Gloria, who may be more vulnerable to manipulations. Gloria's stepson, actor Christian Bale, reportedly intervened against Meghan. He received a bracelet from Gloria with the words "linked not ranked," which turned out to be merchandise Gloria made for a company supporting feminist.com. However, a source revealed that Meghan tossed the bracelet into the bin after leaving Gloria's house.
This development coincides with reports stating that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's transition from royal life to Hollywood has faced challenges. Despite signing lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify, the couple has been the subject of late-night jokes, TV show skits, and comedic takedowns. The publication of Harry's memoir contributed to their declining popularity, as did their Netflix docu-series, leading to missed industry award nominations. Their hopes for a fresh start in 2024 might be challenged as they continue to face criticism and become the target of jokes, including during the Golden Globe Awards, where Meghan was notably absent from the "Suits" reunion.
