Now, of course, shame isn’t exactly something Meghan Markle is familiar with—she’s proven time and again that she operates with complete shamelessness. But when it comes to her latest move, the word "shame" is all too fitting.
The entire promotion of her With Love, Meghan Netflix series has been overshadowed by controversy. The narrative has been clear from the start—claims that she overshadowed Pamela Anderson, accusations that she lifted recipes from established chefs, and a general attitude that suggests she simply doesn’t care. And now? She’s taken things a step further.
Meghan has openly admitted that she plans to borrow—let’s call it what it is, steal—ideas from the female guests on her upcoming podcast.
The first thing that comes to mind is this: If a man had made such a statement, the backlash would be immediate. Imagine a male entrepreneur announcing that he would be launching a podcast, interviewing other successful businessmen, and outright admitting that he would be taking their ideas for his own ventures. He would be laughed off social media in an instant. But Meghan? She moves forward without hesitation, shielded by a level of privilege that allows her to operate without consequences.
This brings us back to the word shame—or in her case, the complete lack of it.
In a recent Instagram post, Meghan attempted to position herself as a trailblazer, claiming:
"I've been having candid conversations with amazing women who have turned dreams into realities and scaled small ideas into massively successful businesses."
That sounds inspiring on the surface—until you really break it down.
First, were these truly her conversations? Or were they carefully curated by producers who crafted the perfect soundbites for her? Given her history, one has to wonder.
Second, let’s address the irony. She talks about women turning small ideas into successful businesses, but when has Meghan ever done that? Her own ventures have been backed by Prince Harry’s connections, wealth, and status. Without her royal ties, would anyone even be paying attention to her projects?
"They’re opening up, sharing their tips and tricks, and letting me pick their brains as I build out my own business."
She is literally admitting that she plans to take these women’s insights and use them to shape her own brand. This isn’t just speculation—it’s in her own words.
This isn’t just about With Love, Meghan. This is a recurring theme in everything she does. Meghan has struggled to establish an identity of her own, constantly borrowing, mimicking, and reshaping ideas from others. It raises the question: Does she even know who she is?
It’s unfortunate, really. A person without a clear sense of self will always rely on the success of others to craft their own narrative.
Let’s be honest—if Meghan weren’t Prince Harry’s wife, would she be able to get away with this? There seems to be an unspoken rule that Meghan Markle is untouchable, that criticism of her is off-limits. The mainstream media often tiptoes around calling her out, despite her repeated actions that deserve scrutiny.
But here’s the reality: She’s not a self-made businesswoman. She’s not an original thinker. And she certainly isn’t a trailblazer.
By her own admission, Meghan Markle intends to take what she learns from her guests and use it for her own business endeavors. It’s not about empowerment or supporting female entrepreneurs—it’s about her leveraging their success for personal gain.
The real question is: How long can she keep this up before people finally see through the facade?
