Meghan Markle, our favorite spotlight-chaser, is back at it with what some are calling another PR stunt—this time involving her possibly imaginary son, Archie. I’ve been covering the royals for years, and something’s off about these kids we barely see. Has anyone actually confirmed Archie exists? Where are the normal family photos? Where are the public appearances? Compare that to Prince William and Catherine, who strike the perfect balance by sharing glimpses of their kids at appropriate events. They get what it means to be royal—but Harry and Meghan? They want all the perks of the royal name without any of the responsibility.
Harry and Meghan ditched the royal family in 2020, claiming they wanted privacy. Yet they can’t stop doing interviews, making documentaries, and writing tell-all books like Spare. If they really wanted a quiet life, they’d be off the grid, not chasing cameras. Instead, they’re leeching off the royal brand while trashing the institution at every turn. And now, Meghan’s sharing these “sweet moments” that are hard to buy—like a 5-year-old waking up worried about his mom’s workload. Come on, that’s as fabricated as it gets. It’s classic Meghan, always spinning the narrative for her latest money-making scheme.
Meanwhile, Catherine, Princess of Wales, has been facing real health challenges with grace and dignity, with William by her side supporting her. What’s Meghan “working too hard” on, exactly? Sending jam to her celebrity friends? Getting Netflix to bankroll her lifestyle? She’s not exactly breaking a sweat with royal duties like the late Queen did at her age. And Harry—once the nation’s favorite prince—now looks miserable in every photo, trailing behind Meghan like a lost puppy. It’s honestly heartbreaking to see.
Their new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, is just another cash grab. Eight episodes of Meghan in the kitchen and garden—does she think she’s Martha Stewart now? This is the same woman who reportedly had staff running for the hills because of her demanding behavior. Compare that to King Charles and Queen Camilla, who’ve handled the Sussex drama with total class and restraint, even as they’re constantly undermined.
What gets me most is how Harry and Meghan use their kids—who we barely see—as a shield against criticism. “Archie said this, Lilibet did that”—it’s emotional manipulation at its finest. The contradiction is glaring, and yet their loyal fans lap it up, attacking anyone who dares question the Sussex narrative. But actions speak louder than words. William and Catherine show up, do the work, and represent the monarchy with dignity. So, the next time Meghan drops another suspiciously perfect story about her kids, remember: real royals don’t need to manufacture family moments—they live them.
