Meghan Markle Criticized for Prioritizing Her Own Truth Over Reality
Meghan Markle faces renewed criticism for using her HRH title in private, despite stepping back from royal duties. Carole Malone slams the Duchess for prioritizing her own truth over promises made to Queen Elizabeth II.
Royal Commentator Calls Out Meghan’s Continued Use of Royal Titles
Meghan Markle is once again facing intense backlash after a recent royal controversy, with critics accusing her of placing her own narrative above facts and responsibilities.
In a pointed column for Express UK, veteran journalist Carole Malone took direct aim at the Duchess of Sussex, arguing that Meghan is living in a self-created version of reality—one where only her truth matters.
"In Meghan’s World, Only Her Truth Exists"
Malone didn’t hold back in her critique, writing:
"Make no mistake, in Meghan’s Land – a land that exists only inside her head – only Her Truth matters. And Meghan’s truth is that she is, and will always be, Her Royal Highness."
This statement refers to Meghan’s continued use of her HRH styling, despite stepping back from royal duties in 2020 alongside Prince Harry, and agreeing not to use the title publicly as part of the Sandringham Agreement.
HRH Title Resurfaces in Note Attached to Gift Basket
The controversy reignited after Meghan sent a gift basket of jam to beauty mogul Jamie Kern Lima, which included a note signed with her banned royal styling, “HRH The Duchess of Sussex.”
"All that’s fine until the real world and the real truth comes crashing in," Malone added. "And that’s exactly what happened this week."
Royal commentators and critics argue that the use of the title not only undermines the original agreement made with the late Queen Elizabeth II, but also reflects Meghan’s persistent desire to be seen as a royal figure—despite leaving the monarchy behind.
Critics Slam Broken Promises and Self-Centered Narrative
Malone referenced the Sussexes' original pledge to the Queen, highlighting the irony of Meghan’s actions:
"She and her dopey Prince made a solemn promise to a real Queen... never to use the HRH title before they flounced off to America to monetise their newfound position."
The phrase suggests public frustration with what many see as a double standard—criticizing the monarchy while continuing to benefit from its titles.
Public Appearance on Jamie Kern Lima Show Adds Fuel
The criticism followed Meghan’s appearance on The Jamie Kern Lima Show, where she appeared without makeup and spoke openly about her life, family, and struggles.
While the interview was meant to convey vulnerability and connection, critics argue that her continued use of royal styling behind the scenes contradicts the image she publicly promotes.
