The Daily Mail has dropped yet another sensational revelation about Meghan Markle in its latest exposé. According to the publication, Meghan, who has long touted her straight-A student status and portrayed herself as highly intelligent, may not have the impressive academic credentials she claims. The article reveals that she failed the U.S. Foreign Service Officer Test, and the Daily Mail is eager to ensure everyone knows about it.
The Foreign Service Officer Test is notoriously challenging, designed to assess an individual's qualifications for a career in diplomacy. Even the brightest minds can struggle with its demanding combination of politics, history, and general knowledge. Meghan's reported failure in this critical exam has raised numerous questions regarding her intellect, privilege, and her self-proclaimed status as an overachiever. After all, wasn’t she supposed to have aced everything else in her life? Yet, when it came time to showcase her academic prowess in this professional setting, she fell short.
The narrative presented by the Daily Mail suggests that Meghan's brief foray into the diplomatic realm wasn’t entirely based on her merits. Her father, Thomas Markle, allegedly sought help from his brother, Mike Markle, to secure Meghan a prestigious internship at the U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires. Reportedly, Meghan applied late but still landed the position, thanks in part to Uncle Mike’s influence. This situation has led critics to point fingers at issues of privilege and nepotism.
Following her Foreign Service failure, Meghan reportedly headed to Madrid to enroll in a six-week Spanish immersion course, perhaps hoping to enhance her cultural credentials after her disappointing exam attempt. She embraced the vibrant scene of tapas bars and tango clubs in Madrid, but whether she truly achieved fluency or merely elevated her Instagram travel photos remains uncertain. What is clear, however, is that this sophisticated international experience became a well-crafted narrative for her friends back in the States.
Despite the setback, Meghan continued her pursuit of fame and fortune, albeit not in the diplomatic sphere. Instead, she turned to the stage and screen, aided once again by family connections. Her father reportedly helped her land her first speaking role on *General Hospital*, which must have seemed like a significant opportunity for an aspiring actress. From there, she moved on to roles in *Deal or No Deal* and eventually secured a place in the legal drama *Suits*.
However, Meghan's alleged sense of entitlement extends beyond Hollywood. Following her ascension to Duchess status, her strained relationships with estranged family members have provided a wealth of juicy tabloid fodder. Uncle Mike, once a close ally in Argentina, expressed disappointment at not being invited to the royal wedding, claiming that Meghan’s social climb left their family behind. His statement could easily be a plotline from *The Crown*, as he lamented her apparent reinvention, insisting, “She threw up the boundaries, not me.”
While the Daily Mail's exposé paints a picture of Meghan’s rocky academic history, it also raises broader questions about the fascination with her authenticity—or lack thereof. Some royal fans have gone so far as to claim that Meghan never even graduated from college because she was a bully who allegedly caused a classmate a permanent disability. One commenter vehemently declared, “This whole story is a complete lie. She was never an intern at the embassy in Argentina, and Uncle Mike never worked at the State Department. I'm so sick of this story being recycled over and over. I've checked the State Department records and archives, and there’s no trace of either person at that embassy or the State Department. It's a complete effing lie.”
Another commentator noted, “Meghan Markle failed a diplomatic exam and started to flounder early in life. There were even rumors that she didn’t graduate because she was expelled for bullying. The only skill she had was yoga, holding her ankles behind her head.”
As the narrative surrounding Meghan Markle continues to unfold, it seems that intrigue and controversy will remain at the forefront of her story.
