Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might have dropped truth bombs during their recent appearance at Oprah Winfrey’s show. But, scores of netizens and fans of the British royal family are far from convinced by Markle’s claims that seemed slightly off -- from the outset of the show.
“She (Meghan) never so much as Googled Harry when they began dating. She also never so much as Googled herself or followed any of her media coverage because that too has never mattered to her — says the woman who posed for a Vanity Fair cover story before she and Harry were even engaged,” begins Maureen Callahan, a columnist in her opinion piece in the New York Post.
Dropping more examples that indicate the duchess isn’t the damsel in distress that she often makes herself out to be, Callahan further enthused, “All the grandeur attached to this stuff,” said Meghan, has never meant anything, not part of the attraction at all. Says the woman who invited Oprah Winfrey and George Clooney to her wedding — A-listers she’d never even met.”
American lawyer Megyn Kelly made her displeasure about the entire show known, as she tweeted rather scathingly on Monday. "Have you ever seen such privileged people wallowing in their own (perceived) victimhood like this?" she added, in the tweet thread, as cited on the Insider.
What’s more, Kelly openly dissed Markle’s habitual ways of speaking up as a façade that paints everyone around her as a villain. “Everyone victimizes Meghan! Everyone! The palace! The press! Even her dad - who had no money, no clue, and was swept up in a whirlwind of the press he had zero understanding of how to handle - he too is a villain! She is - again - the victim. It never stops,” she added, in reference to the former “Suits” actor’s claims that her dad reportedly lied to British tabloids, terming it a “betrayal”.
On the other hand, the iconic show host cleared the air on Monday pertaining to a controversy that brought senior royals under the radar, after Markle alleged that her son Archie’s skin color was often a subject of conversation.
“He( Harry) did not share the identity with me but he wanted to make sure that I knew, and if I had an opportunity to share it, that it was not his grandmother nor his grandfather that were part of those conversations,” said Winfrey on “CBS This Morning” — a day after the explosive interview with the Sussexes was aired, as reported on Page Six.
