This latest move from Meghan Markle and her faithful PR machine, Omid Scobie, might just take the cake. And here's the kicker—this whole situation isn't just ridiculous, it's downright sad.
Omid Scobie, who’s basically become Meghan's personal PR tool at this point, is trying to salvage whatever’s left of his career by launching a TV show. And get this—it’s supposedly going to be a mix between Emily in Paris and The Crown. I mean, seriously, could it get more predictable? Let's be real for a second, folks. This is the same person who had to move from the UK to Los Angeles because he burned so many bridges with his reporting (and I use the term “reporting” loosely). He destroyed his credibility as a royal author so thoroughly that now he’s turning to fiction. But let’s be honest—hasn’t he always been writing fiction?
According to sources at Universal (and between you and me, we all know who’s feeding these lines), this new show is about a "thoroughly modern woman" who enters the palace and clashes with those "dreaded men in gray suits." Sound familiar? It should. It’s the same tired victim narrative we've been force-fed for years. What really gets me is how they’re positioning this as some sort of empowering story, where a feisty American import wins everyone over and triumphs over the establishment. Come on, have they learned nothing from the past few years? The public—and let’s be honest, everyone—is seeing through this act.
Now let’s contrast this with our beloved Princess of Wales, Catherine. She’s out there showing us what true grace under pressure looks like, while others are busy trying to create fictional versions of themselves as the hero of their own story. Catherine, on the other hand, is supporting real causes and doing the hard work that true royalty demands. And can we talk about Prince William for a second? The way he’s handled everything thrown at his family with such dignity and strength—that’s what real leadership looks like, folks. Not running away to California and playing the victim on every platform that will have you.
And let’s talk timing—because it’s chef’s kiss perfect, isn’t it? Right when people are finally seeing through the whole victim narrative, they decide to double down with a fictional version. It’s like they’re living in their own parallel universe, where everyone’s against them, and they’re the perpetual victims. Sound familiar? It’s like that one friend we all have who constantly creates drama and then acts surprised when there are consequences. Except this time, it's on a global scale, and they’re trying to rewrite history through a TV show.
Let’s be clear about something: this isn’t just about entertainment. This is another calculated attempt to control the narrative. But here’s the irony—it’s backfiring spectacularly. The more they try to push this storyline, the more transparent their intentions become. And as for Omid? Well, he’s essentially tossed aside any pretense of being an objective journalist. He’s gone from writing “factual” books to creating what’s essentially fanfiction. It’s honestly quite tragic when you think about it—a career in royal journalism tossed aside to become someone’s personal storyteller.
The part that really cracks me up is how they’re trying to frame this as some sort of feminist narrative. Last time I checked, true feminism wasn’t about throwing other women under the bus or playing the victim when things don’t go your way. It’s about strength, capability, and actually doing the work. You know, like Queen Camilla and Princess Catherine do every day.
Remember how the real story played out? Our beloved working royals welcomed Meghan with open arms. The British public was excited and supportive, and King Charles even walked her down the aisle. But somehow, in their version, everyone was against them from the start. It’s like they’re living in an alternate reality where they’re the main characters in a drama series—oh wait, that’s exactly what they’re trying to create now.
And let’s talk about the timing of all this. While Princess Catherine has been tirelessly supporting important causes and being a true asset to the monarchy, others are busy creating TV shows about how hard they had it. The contrast couldn’t be starker, could it? What’s really rich is that they’ll probably blame everyone but themselves when this show inevitably flops. It’ll be the patriarchy’s fault, or racism, or the media, or those mysterious “men in gray suits” we keep hearing about. Never mind the fact that the public is just tired of this same narrative being recycled over and over again.
This whole situation highlights the difference between those who do the work and those who just want the spotlight. While William and Catherine are focused on their duties and representing the monarchy with dignity, others are busy creating fictional versions of their struggles. Let me tell you, folks, from my years of experience covering the royals, the public isn’t stupid. They can see through these transparent attempts at attention-seeking. They recognize authentic service when they see it, and they can spot manufactured drama from a mile away.
What’s going to be interesting is watching how this whole thing plays out, because if history has taught us anything, it’s that these attempts to control the narrative usually end up backfiring spectacularly. Remember the Oprah interview? Yeah, exactly.
The sad part is, this could have all been so different. Imagine if all the energy spent on creating fictional narratives and playing the victim had been channeled into actual royal duties and service to the public. But I guess some people prefer the spotlight to substance. What really gets to me is that they’re still trying to profit off their connection to the royal family while simultaneously trying to tear it down. It’s like biting the hand that fed you and then trying to sell tickets to watch you do it.
Watching the contrast between how our working royals handle themselves and the behavior we’re seeing now is like night and day. While some are busy creating fictional TV shows about their imagined persecutions, others are actually out there making a real difference in people’s lives. This whole saga is just another chapter in what’s becoming an increasingly desperate attempt to stay relevant. But you know what? The truth has a way of coming out, and no amount of fictional TV shows can change that.
