About something that perfectly exemplifies everything we've been saying about Meghan Markle for years. A video has resurfaced, revealing her true colors in such a glaring way—it’s like watching a masterclass in narcissism. And let me tell you, it's not a pretty sight.
Let’s take a trip back to 2018. Queen Elizabeth II, God rest her soul, took Meghan on her first royal engagement. This was a huge honor! The Queen herself took the time to show this newcomer the ropes. Most people would have been humbled, grateful, and respectful. But not Meghan Markle.
It was June 2018, and they were opening the Mery Gateway Bridge and attending events, including one marking the anniversary of the tragic Grenfell Tower fire. These were serious occasions that demanded dignity and respect. But what does Meghan do? She completely ignores royal protocol and barges ahead of Her Majesty. Can you even imagine the audacity?
But wait—there's more. Someone caught this on camera, thank goodness, as Meghan snatched flowers that were meant for the Queen. Yes, you heard that right—flowers that royal well-wishers had brought specifically for Her Majesty. And there’s Meghan, grabbing them like she’s at some Hollywood premiere. The disrespect is just staggering.
Let me tell you something: from my years of covering the royal family, this wasn’t just some naive mistake. This was calculated. Meghan was showing us exactly who she is and what she wanted. Think about it—right from the start, she’s been trying to position herself as the star of the show. She didn’t want to be part of the royal family; she wanted to be the royal family.
Now, let’s talk about how this compares to Princess Catherine’s behavior. I’ve watched Catherine at countless events, and she always shows proper respect for royal protocol. She understands hierarchy, tradition, and—most importantly—she respects her elders and the institution she represents. Meghan, on the other hand, clearly thought she could rewrite the rules.
Remember when Meghan later claimed she didn’t know anything about royal protocol? That disgraceful Netflix documentary where she mocked the curtsy—something that’s actually a sign of respect for the late Queen—proved she knew exactly what she was doing. She was explicitly told not to walk ahead of the Queen, but did it anyway.
Let's break this down for a moment: When you’re with the Queen—the longest reigning monarch in British history, a woman who dedicated her entire life to service—you don’t just waltz ahead of her like you own the place. But that’s exactly what Meghan did, and why? Because in her mind, she was already the star. She couldn’t bear to be in anyone’s shadow, not even the Queen’s.
Looking back now, we can see how this moment was a preview of everything that would follow—the constant attention-seeking, the disregard for tradition, the "me, me, me" attitude. It was all there from the start. This wasn’t just about walking ahead or taking flowers; it was about someone entering an ancient institution thinking they could rewrite all the rules to suit themselves.
And about those flowers—royal watchers know there’s a protocol for these things. When people bring flowers for specific royals, you respect that. These weren’t just random bouquets; they were gestures of love and respect for the Queen. But Meghan just couldn’t help herself, could she? She had to be the center of attention. It reminds me of something my grandmother used to say: "Character is what you do when you think no one is watching." Well, people were watching, Meghan, and now the world can see exactly what kind of person you are.
The comments on social media have been absolutely scorching. One person said, "My dog has better manners," and honestly, they’re not wrong. You know what really gets me? The sheer calculation of it all. This wasn’t a newbie making mistakes; this was someone who had spent years in Hollywood and knew how to follow direction when it suited her. But the minute she thought she had secured her position in the royal family, all that went out the window.
And poor Harry—what happened to him? The man who was once so protective of his grandmother, who had such a close relationship with her, now stands by while his wife disrespects everything the Queen stood for. It’s heartbreaking to watch someone fall so far from grace.
Now, let’s contrast this with Queen Camilla, who took her time integrating into the royal family. She understood the meaning of patience, respect, and she never tried to steal the spotlight. Look at her now: a respected Queen consort, who earned her place through years of dedicated service.
Or look at Princess Catherine, who’s dealing with her health challenges with grace and dignity. Even while going through tough times, she maintains proper protocol and respect for the institution. That’s what real royal behavior looks like.
But here’s the thing—Meghan knew exactly what she was getting into. The royal family isn’t some Hollywood production where you can demand to be the lead actress. It’s an institution built on service, duty, and respect. If you can’t handle being part of something bigger than yourself, then maybe you shouldn’t have married into it in the first place.
And let’s talk about the timing of this resurfaced video—just as Meghan’s trying to rebrand herself with this "American Riviera Orchard" nonsense, we get this reminder of who she really is. You can change your brand name, but you can’t change your character. A leopard doesn’t change its spots.
The comments from royal fans have been spot on. One person said, "She deliberately did this to the late Queen in public, then had the gall to demand a place by her bedside as she died." The audacity is just breathtaking, isn’t it?
This reminds me of when you're at a family gathering and there's always that one person who just has to make everything about them. We’ve all met someone like that, right? But most people grow out of it. They learn to read the room, show respect, and understand their place. But not Meghan—she’s still that person who needs to be the center of attention at any cost.
And let’s not forget, this was just the beginning. After this came the constant press briefings, complaints about not being supported enough, and eventually, the decision to abandon their royal duties altogether. But hey, at least they kept the titles they claim not to care about, right?
What really gets me is how Meghan’s behavior affected the Queen in her final years. Instead of enjoying her twilight years surrounded by loving, supportive family members, she had to deal with constant drama and disrespect from her own grandson and his wife. It’s unforgivable.
The thing about narcissists is that they can’t help themselves. They have to be first, have to be best, have to be the center of attention. One commenter put it perfectly: "A narcissistic sociopath cannot change. It’s like asking a serial killer to just stop killing." Harsh? Maybe. But watch that video again and tell me they’re wrong.
It’s really sad—the Queen gave Meghan an incredible opportunity, the chance to be part of something truly meaningful and make a real difference. But instead of embracing it with grace and humility, Meghan saw it as her chance to become the star. She wanted to be the Queen, not serve the Queen.
And now, here we are. Meghan’s off trying to launch whatever new brand she thinks will keep her relevant while the real royals—William, Catherine, King Charles, and Queen Camilla—continue to serve with dignity and dedication. They don’t need to grab flowers or push to the front. They understand that true nobility comes from service, not spotlight-seeking.
