Megan Markle has once again revealed her true colors in ways that even her critics might not have expected. A pattern is emerging, and it only confirms what many have long suspected.
Hollywood star Drew Barrymore recently mentioned Meghan Sussex in a talk show, very deliberately using the Sussex surname. Now, why is this significant? Because it comes shortly after another public incident—Mindy Kaling, during a Netflix interview, repeatedly referred to Meghan as "Meghan Markle," the name the world knew her by before she married into royalty. But instead of letting it slide, Meghan swiftly interrupted Mindy to correct her, emphasizing, "I'm Sussex now," as if Mindy had committed some grave faux pas.
Classic Meghan behavior—never missing a chance to remind everyone of her royal connection. It almost feels like she's terrified people might forget she married into the British monarchy—the very institution she and Prince Harry have spent years criticizing.
Now, let's compare this to Catherine, Princess of Wales. Have you ever heard Catherine correct someone about how they should address her? Of course not. Because Catherine embodies grace and dignity. She understands what it truly means to be royal—not through constant reminders but through actions, dedication to service, and unwavering support for the Crown.
Meghan claims that sharing the Sussex name with her children is deeply meaningful. "It's our shared family name. I love that it's something that Archie, Lilibet, Harry, and I all have together," she told People magazine. But notice how she casually refers to Prince Harry as just "H"—subtly downplaying the royal connection when it suits her.
Don't get me wrong—there's nothing unusual about wanting to share a family name with your children. That's perfectly normal. But the way Meghan selectively uses her royal connections is what makes this so transparent. When it benefits her brand and public image, she embraces the Sussex name. When it's time to criticize the monarchy, it's a different story altogether.
Remember when Meghan and Harry stepped away from royal duties because they wanted privacy? Yet, nothing screams "privacy" like constantly reminding the world you're a duchess, right? If they genuinely wanted to live a normal, private life, why cling to the titles?
What we’re witnessing is an expertly crafted image game. Meghan and Harry have created an environment where people feel they must tread carefully around them. Compare this to working royals like King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Catherine. They put duty before ego every single day. They don’t need to correct people about their titles because they are secure in their roles and responsibilities.
Meghan also spoke in her Drew Barrymore interview about how she feels "lucky" to be married to Harry, claiming he promised always to "date" her and keep the "butterfly period" of their relationship alive. But every time Meghan gushes about her marriage, it feels like another performance—like she’s trying to convince the world (and maybe herself) that everything is perfect.
Meanwhile, Prince William and Princess Catherine demonstrate what a true partnership looks like through their actions. They support each other, work as a team, and remain committed to their responsibilities. Their unity speaks for itself.
The saddest part in all of this? Prince Harry. Once the beloved, cheeky prince, adored for his charisma and dedication to veterans, he now seems like a supporting character in Meghan's carefully curated narrative. The once inseparable bond he shared with Prince William has been severed, and he's now distanced from the very heritage that defined his identity.
Let’s be honest—what we’re witnessing is a desperate grasp for status and relevance. Meghan wants to keep her royal connections alive while profiting from them, all while claiming the institution was damaging to her. If that were true, wouldn’t she have abandoned the title completely?
Had Meghan and Harry chosen to prioritize duty over personal ambition, they could have been powerful assets to the monarchy. They had a platform to create real change. Instead, they chose lucrative commercial deals, high-profile interviews, and a never-ending cycle of attention-seeking. They willingly threw the royal family under the bus for Netflix dollars.
