The drama surrounding Meghan Markle’s victim narrative has reached new levels, and it's time we dive into her response to the German documentary that's making waves.
So, ZDF Royal recently dropped a documentary titled Harry and the Lost Prince by Irie Gonald, and Meghan’s reaction to it is exactly what you'd expect from someone who thinks the world revolves around her. Sources are reporting that Meghan feels betrayed after her neighbors and former colleagues spoke their truth in the documentary. Now, let's take a moment to appreciate the irony of this. This is coming from someone who has built a career on betraying confidences. Remember the Oprah interview? The Netflix series? All the countless friends talking to the media? But now, when others speak about their experiences with Meghan, it’s suddenly a betrayal?
Here’s where things get really interesting: Meghan and Harry are complaining that this documentary is just another one-sided takedown of them. They claim they just want it all to stop and that they’re being judged for things that happened over five years ago. But hold on, let me break this down for you. That "five years ago" narrative is misleading. We’re not talking about ancient history here—we’re talking about a pattern of behavior that’s ongoing. From the Netflix documentary (which I refuse to call anything other than a mockumentary) to Spare and all those attention-seeking interviews, this isn’t about the past—it’s about who they continue to be.
Meghan reportedly feels especially betrayed by her neighbors, who she thinks should have supported her instead of speaking to the documentary makers. But let me connect some dots here—this is truly priceless. Just yesterday, I covered an interview with one of Meghan’s neighbors who exposed the truth about Meghan’s involvement in the community—or should I say, lack of involvement. According to this neighbor, Meghan barely interacts with anyone at all in the community. So, let me get this straight—she wants support and friendship from people she actively avoids? Make it make sense!
Let’s talk about that Montecito welcome Meghan received when she and Harry first moved in. One of their neighbors—a wealthy, well-connected person—actually took the time to welcome them to the community and brought over some historical information to help them settle in. What happened next? Their security team told this neighbor to "get lost." So much for wanting friendship and support, right?
The source goes on to say that Meghan is very wary of getting close to people and trusting them. But now, with this documentary coming out, she feels betrayed by the very people she doesn’t trust. Talk about mental gymnastics. The contradiction here is mind-blowing: she’s simultaneously too wary to trust people, yet somehow betrayed that those same people aren’t offering her friendship. It’s like she’s created an impossible situation where she can only win by playing the role of the eternal victim.
Let’s take a bigger look at the situation. Meghan’s neighbors in Montecito are extremely wealthy, powerful people who understand the importance of privacy better than most. These aren’t paparazzi or tabloid journalists—these are potential neighbors and friends who have been shut out. So, who exactly has betrayed whom here? From where I’m sitting, and I know many of you will agree with me, the list of people Meghan has betrayed is pretty long. The royal family? Check. The British public? Check. Her own family? Double check. Her former staff? You bet. The list goes on.
Now, the timing of this response is particularly interesting. As the documentary gains traction and people start to see through Meghan’s carefully crafted facade, suddenly we get these reports about how betrayed she feels. It’s like clockwork. Every time the truth starts to come out, we get another round of "poor Meghan" stories.
The contrast between Meghan and the working royals could not be more stark. Look at William and Catherine—they just keep their heads down and get on with their work. When was the last time you heard them complain about feeling betrayed by their neighbors? Never. Why? Because they understand what public service really means. And King Charles and Queen Camilla? They’ve faced far worse criticism over the years, but you don’t see them sending out sources to complain about feeling betrayed. They understand that being part of public life means people will have opinions about you—and they handle it with dignity.
The sad part in all of this is how it affects the broader royal family. While William and Catherine are out there doing real work, making a real difference, we’re still stuck dealing with drama cycles from the Sussexes. It’s like they can’t stand anyone else getting attention for actual achievements.
You know what’s truly ironic about all this? The more Meghan complains about feeling betrayed, the more she pushes people away. It’s like a self-fulfilling prophecy. She creates this narrative where she can’t trust anyone, uses that as an excuse to isolate herself, then complains about feeling isolated and betrayed.
Let’s talk about the German documentary for a moment. From what we’ve seen, it’s actually a pretty balanced piece of journalism—not a hit job. It’s just people sharing their experiences and observations. But of course, in Meghan’s world, anything that doesn’t align with her narrative is a betrayal.
And the source also mentioned that Meghan doesn’t exactly have a large set of friends. Well, maybe there’s a reason for that. When you constantly play the victim, turn every interaction into a potential betrayal, and push away people who genuinely try to welcome you, eventually people stop trying. It’s pretty telling that this response is coming through anonymous sources instead of a direct statement. It’s the same PR playbook we’ve seen time and time again: shaping the narrative while maintaining plausible deniability. It’s PR 101, and frankly, it’s getting tired.
The contrast with Catherine couldn’t be more stark. Catherine has faced far more scrutiny, far more pressure, yet she handles it all with grace and dignity. She’s built real relationships in her community and earned respect through her actions—not through PR campaigns.
And here’s the thing that gets me—Meghan has made millions from betraying others' confidences. The Netflix deal. The Spotify deal before it crashed and burned. The book deals. All of these were built on revealing private information about the royal family. But now, when others speak their truth about their experiences with her, that’s a betrayal?
Let’s be real: this isn’t about betrayal. This is about control. When Meghan can’t control the narrative, when she can’t manipulate how people see her, suddenly she becomes the victim. It’s a pattern we’ve seen over and over, and frankly, it’s getting old.
The timing of this "betrayal" narrative coincides perfectly with Meghan’s desperate attempts to rebrand herself. Just as she’s launching her new lifestyle brand, we’re hearing about how betrayed she feels by her community. Almost like she’s trying to preemptively explain why she’s not more involved in Montecito society.
