When headlines claim that Meghan Markle has been “working very hard for five months,” it’s hard not to raise an eyebrow. Five months to start an Instagram profile? Wait a minute—that profile actually dates back to 2022, and she simply rebranded it to reflect her new ventures.
As Meghan establishes herself as an influencer ahead of her make-or-break Netflix show, many are left scratching their heads. Seriously? A former member of the royal family, once at the pinnacle of society, is now diving headfirst into the influencer world? It’s a bit of a head-scratcher, especially since the influencer craze peaked years ago. Let’s be honest—influencers aren’t the cultural powerhouses they were back in 2015. These days, they’re often seen as more of a punchline than a serious career path. Sorry, Meghan.
According to reports, Meghan is “feeling the pressure” after working hard to establish herself as an influencer. Working hard? Really? Let’s not forget the countless photos of her lounging in mansions with servants at her beck and call. The whole point of marrying into royalty was to escape the grind, wasn’t it? So, when we hear about her “hard work,” it’s hard to take it seriously.
And let’s not even get started on her American Riviera Orchard venture. It’s been nearly a year since she announced it, and what do we have to show for it? Nothing. Zip. Nada. The timing of its launch, coinciding with the Diana Awards, has come and gone, and yet the brand remains a mystery. So, forgive us if we’re skeptical about all this “hard work” talk.
Now, rumors suggest that Meghan is set to unveil her high-end food and homeware brand alongside her new TV program. Think overpriced jams, roses, and other items that feel like they belong in an airport catalog. You know, the kind of stuff you flip through on a plane but never actually buy. It’s all a bit underwhelming, isn’t it?
Enter Jonathan Shalit, a professor and talent manager who claims Meghan has been working “very hard for four or five months.” Four or five months? That’s how long it took her to figure out Instagram? Come on. Shalit, who has worked with figures like Katherine Jenkins and Dame Joan Collins, insists that managing a program or podcast involves a lot of behind-the-scenes work. But let’s be real—Meghan’s podcast was largely pre-recorded, with her voice added in later. That’s not hard work; that’s a glorified voiceover gig.
The article wraps up by suggesting Meghan is “working hard to pay the bills.” Bills? What bills? Meghan Markle doesn’t have bills. She’s living a life of luxury, far removed from the struggles of everyday people. This whole narrative feels like yet another PR stunt to paint her as a hardworking underdog. But let’s call it what it is: a carefully crafted image that doesn’t quite hold up under scrutiny.
