Imagine for a moment the life of the Marchioness of Bath—now picture Meghan Markle as the daughter-in-law of King Charles. Just think about what could have been if Meghan had, you know, actually played her cards right. Instead, poor Harry’s kids find themselves stuck in what looks like a glorified bird poop mansion or some dusty old ranch.
Recently, the Marchioness shared a delightful Christmas video from her stunning home, Longleat. The video was so wholesome and family-oriented that it could warm even the coldest of Royal watchers. Emma, who is a billionaire’s daughter, didn’t need to grift anyone for attention. She didn’t need fame because she already had plenty of it. She’s a successful businesswoman, a former Dolce & Gabbana model, and a fashion editor at *British Vogue*. Now that’s the kind of real-world success Meghan could only dream of.
Meanwhile, Meghan’s strategy seems to be: Get rich, get famous, and wear ridiculously overpriced outfits. But unlike Meghan, Emma’s beauty isn’t just skin deep; she exudes true class. It's something Meghan, unfortunately, seems to lack. Meghan’s idea of elegance seems to revolve around eye rolls and avoiding anyone she considers more successful than her. It’s not hard to see why Meghan has so few female friends. It’s almost as if Meghan can’t handle anyone who’s prettier, richer, or more successful than her.
Speaking of women Meghan doesn’t seem to get along with, have you ever wondered why Emma wasn’t invited to Meghan and Harry’s wedding? Could it be because Emma is a real aristocrat, a woman of color, who’s been a part of the British aristocracy for ages? Unlike Meghan, who’s more interested in Hollywood royalty than true British nobility, Emma belongs to a long-standing aristocratic lineage.
Megan’s real home seems to be in Southern California, where the glitz and glamour are more her speed. Instead of embracing her royal duties and learning what it means to be a true Duchess, Meghan thought she could simply marry her “meal ticket”—Prince Harry—have a baby, and call it a day. She figured Hollywood A-listers would flock to her. But, spoiler alert, the world didn’t exactly roll out the red carpet. Now, who’s getting the last laugh?
Back to the Marchioness and her family. Their home, Longleat, is a royal gem. It’s not only a historical mansion, but also a wildlife sanctuary, where tigers and monkeys roam freely. Oh, and Emma’s wedding dress is on display in a glass case. But unlike Meghan, who would likely turn her wedding dress into a national monument, Emma’s dress is tucked away quietly, almost as if to say, “If you want to see it, here it is,” without flaunting it for attention.
Emma’s family is refreshingly down-to-earth. When the public’s not around, the kids are free to run wild, roller-skating down the hallways like they’re in their own private skate park. It’s a real family vibe, unlike the staged, attention-grabbing moments we often see from Meghan and Harry.
Let’s not forget Emma’s legendary father, a true free spirit with a history of wild adventures in his younger years. Instead of hiding those stories, Emma’s family embraces them. Can you imagine Meghan doing the same? I don’t think so.
What’s even more impressive is how Emma handles adversity. She’s faced actual racism from her mother-in-law’s side of the family. But instead of whining about it to Oprah, Emma rose above it and continues to thrive as a wonderful wife and mother. Meanwhile, Meghan, who claims to have faced racism everywhere she went, can barely manage to be polite, let alone kind.
In the end, the Marchioness of Bath is living proof of how to do royal life the right way: with grace, humility, and a real love for family—something Meghan has never quite grasped.
