Meghan Markle must be fuming right now! Jennifer Garner, America’s beloved girl-next-door, has taken to Cameo to raise money for California wildfire relief—and you just know Meghan is scrambling to follow suit. It seems Meghan can’t stand to see another woman, especially one who is widely adored, have a moment in the spotlight without trying to edge her way in.
This week, Jennifer Garner launched her Cameo account, offering personalized video messages for $600, with all proceeds going directly to wildfire relief efforts. She’s using her fame to make a real difference, proving once again why she’s so well-loved. Meanwhile, Meghan—who has built a brand around compassion and service—has yet to take such an initiative. But give it a few days, and she’s likely already on the phone with her PR team, brainstorming how to outshine Jennifer’s heartfelt gesture.
The real question is: How much would Meghan charge if she joined Cameo? Let’s not forget—this is the same woman rumored to have demanded $1 million per Instagram post and secured a hefty Netflix deal for, well, whatever it is she actually does.
And if Meghan ever did join Cameo, you can just imagine how each request would turn into an opportunity for self-promotion. Instead of a simple birthday greeting, it would likely morph into a monologue about her struggles, her victimhood, and how misunderstood she is by the world. *"Happy Birthday, Lisa! I just wanted to take a moment to tell you about my own journey and how challenging it’s been for me. The British press was just so cruel, you know. Anyway, hope you have a great day!"* Can you imagine the refund requests rolling in?
But the Meghan-Jennifer comparison doesn’t stop there. Have you noticed how Meghan has been seemingly mirroring Jennifer Garner’s image lately? Garner is known as the sweet, hands-on mom who prioritizes her kids, loves to cook, and embraces a cozy, down-to-earth aesthetic. Sound familiar? Meghan has been pushing the same relatable mom narrative lately—conveniently forgetting how she once positioned herself as too royal for such everyday tasks.
Jennifer’s popularity skyrocketed during her separation from Ben Affleck, especially as she handled his very public struggles with grace and dignity. She never played the victim, and her authenticity earned her even more public admiration. And now here comes Meghan, facing speculation about the state of her own marriage with Prince Harry, seemingly attempting to pivot into the wholesome American mom role—just as Jennifer did. The key difference? Jennifer Garner’s warmth and likability are genuine. Meghan, on the other hand, seems to be carefully crafting an image rather than living it.
Another major distinction? Their charity work. Jennifer Garner has been deeply involved with *Save the Children* for years, not just showing up for a quick photo-op but dedicating real time and effort to the cause. Meghan, in contrast, has made occasional gestures—like a single book reading for Archie’s first birthday—and expected applause.
Ultimately, Meghan’s attempts at reinvention often seem to fall flat. She wants Jennifer Garner’s wholesome appeal, but she lacks the authenticity to pull it off. Jennifer was raised in a loving, grounded family and built her career long before she was associated with a famous man. Meghan? Not quite the same trajectory. She craves Jennifer’s reputation, but her approach resembles that of a reality star looking for the next PR move.
So, how long before Meghan Markle hops on Cameo? Place your bets now. But don’t expect all the proceeds to go directly to charity—unless, of course, there’s a way to funnel them through Archewell first.
