The Extraordinary Grandiosity of Meghan Markle. The disconnect in this interview is astonishing. Meghan says she already had influence during her time on Suits. She talks about people monetising what she wore and how intentional she was in using fashion to elevate brands and designers, almost presenting herself as someone uniquely thoughtful about the opportunities clothing gave her. And somehow, throughout all of it, there is barely any acknowledgement that marrying into one of the most famous institutions in the world might have had something to do with the level of attention she received. Instead, the story becomes: Meghan had the influence. Meghan elevated brands. People monetised Meghan. Meghan used fashion strategically. Meghan was the phenomenon all along. She genuinely believes the influence was always hers. The sheer narcissism of it is astonishing. The constant rewriting of the narrative so that Meghan is always the benefactor rather than the beneficiary, always the one elevating others rather than the one being elevated, is frankly laughable. Royal women have long understood that what they wear sends a message. They have used fashion to champion homegrown talent, support local businesses on tours and bring attention to causes bigger than themselves. They recognised that the platform wasn’t about them. It was about how they could use it in service of something greater. Meghan, on the other hand, often appeared far more interested in established luxury labels and big fashion houses. Yet listening to this interview, she speaks as though she was the one intentionally elevating others, as though this level of thoughtfulness and strategy began with Meghan Markle. To understand the disconnect, if Meghan Markle already had that level of influence from Suits onwards, where were the sell outs? Which brands couldn’t keep stock because Rachel Zane wore a blouse? Where were the websites dedicated to tracking Meghan Markle’s outfits before she became a working royal? And if the influence truly belonged to her alone, where is that same level of impact today? There seems to be no gratitude for the extraordinary platform she was given. No recognition that she stepped into an institution that amplified everything she touched. Just the conviction that she was the gift. Everything is always about Meghan. The influence was hers. The generosity was hers. The strategy was hers. The impact was hers. It’s an astonishing level of self importance to walk away from one of the biggest platforms in the world genuinely believing that everyone else was benefiting from you, rather than recognising just how much you had benefited from them.

No amount of privilege, status, or money can buy class, dignity, integrity, or self restraint. That is why Meghan Markle was never a natural fit for the royal family. The pregnant twerking video is a perfect example. Not because there is anything wrong with dancing while pregnant, but because choosing to post it publicly reflects a mindset completely at odds with the dignity expected of someone who once represented one of the world’s most respected institutions. A classy woman who is secure in her position, respected in her own right, and confident in who she is does not feel the need to turn every personal milestone into content. She does not constantly seek public validation or transform private family moments into engagement opportunities. The video feels less like the behaviour of a woman who was once part of the royal family and more like that of a wannabe influencer desperate to remain relevant and keep herself in the headlines. There is a reason the most respected public figures understand the value of restraint. Not everything needs to be filmed. Not everything needs to be posted. Not everything needs to be turned into a spectacle. Class and dignity are often revealed not by what people choose to show the world, but by what they choose to keep private. And that is precisely why Catherine, Princess of Wales, is the future Queen, while Meghan Markle has come full circle, back to seeking attention, selling matchsticks, and trying to convince the world she is thriving.

Emma Came To Talk Business. Meghan Came To Talk Meghan. After sitting through the full Emma Grede podcast with Meghan Markle, here’s my brief take. Emma asked good questions. Not gossip questions. Not royal questions. Business questions. Questions about pivots, imposter syndrome, criticism, building a brand, and what Meghan had learned from speaking to other female founders. Meghan had every opportunity to give people a real look at how she approaches business. Instead, we got the familiar stories. The childhood scrunchies. The jam. Faith over fear. The baby mama dance. The media. The noise. Time and again, questions that could have led somewhere interesting circled back to the same themes and the same carefully polished version of Meghan. Emma was trying to have a conversation about business. Meghan seemed far more interested in talking about Meghan. We learned a lot about the story she wants people to believe. We learned very little about the business itself. Most founders can talk for hours about the things that went wrong. Failed launches. Bad decisions. Partnerships that didn’t work out. Customer complaints. Unexpected problems. Expensive mistakes. The lessons that come from getting things wrong. Those are the stories that teach people something. Those are the stories that make people credible. Their absence here was noticeable. The contradictions didn’t help either. Meghan talks a lot about truth, authenticity and correcting false narratives, yet there seems to be very little reflection on her own changing stories over the years. She presents herself as a fearless risk-taker, but As Ever launched with advantages most entrepreneurs could only dream of: global name recognition, celebrity connections, media attention and a royal title. The humble beginnings narrative sits awkwardly beside all of that. The As Ever journey was also a missed opportunity. It could have been a chance to talk honestly about what didn’t work, what had to change, what she misjudged and what she learned along the way. Instead, obstacles mostly appeared as things that happened around her rather than things she might have contributed to or learned from. One answer summed up the entire interview for me. When Emma asked what Meghan had learned from the female founders she’d interviewed on her own podcast, I expected something specific. After all those conversations with successful women, surely there would be a lesson that changed her thinking, a mistake she saw repeated over and over, or advice she applied to her own business. Instead, the takeaway seemed to boil down to the idea that building a business is hard and people have regrets. Well… yes. That’s hardly a groundbreaking insight. After an entire season interviewing founders, entrepreneurs and business leaders, that’s the conclusion? Not a lesson that changed the way she operates. Not a mistake she was determined to avoid. Not a piece of advice she applied to As Ever. Just that building a business is difficult and people have regrets. By the end of the interview, the difference between Emma and Meghan couldn’t have been clearer. Emma was talking business. Meghan was talking narrative. The more the conversation went on, the more it felt like Meghan was sidestepping the substance of Emma’s questions and steering everything back to familiar talking points and personal stories. For someone positioning herself as a founder, she spent remarkably little time discussing the realities of building a business. Emma gave Meghan multiple opportunities to move beyond the carefully managed public image and show people how she thinks as a businesswoman. She never really did. What we got instead was another polished chapter in the ongoing Meghan Markle story.

Meghan Markle could have had all of this. If she’d just accepted that the Crown wasn’t there to serve her, but that she was there to serve something much bigger than herself, she could have become one of the most significant royals in modern times. Coming from Hollywood, she had a front row seat to the exact world she was so desperate to impress. After years of chasing status in those circles, she found herself in a position where the very people she desperately wanted validation from would have been standing when she walked into the room because of the institution she represented. The thing she never got is that the respect isn’t for the individual. It’s for the Crown, the role, and the centuries of service behind it. Those who understand that thrive. Those who think they’re bigger than it? They crash and burn. A few years ago, when the monarchy was under real pressure and Catherine was fighting serious health issues, Harry and Meghan had a genuine chance to step up and build something positive. Instead they chose to wage war on the very institution that gave them their platform in the first place. They wanted the prominence without the protocol, the status without the hierarchy, and the influence without any accountability. The saddest part is Meghan couldn’t accept playing second fiddle to Catherine. In the end, refusing to accept her place in the institution is exactly what cost her the platform she had inside it. Pride really has undone a lot of people. And it might end up being the defining lesson of Meghan Markle’s whole story.

So let me get this straight. According to reports, Meghan Markle wasn’t happy after Poh referred to her as “royalty” on MasterChef Australia. Isn’t this the same Meghan Markle whose own house manager announced, “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex,” when she walked into her Harper’s Bazaar interview… even though it was just her and the writer in the room? Maybe it wasn’t “royalty” that bothered her. Maybe it was Poh opening with, “We’ve had royalty before.” That immediately reminds everyone she’s not the only royal connection the show has had. It takes the spotlight off her and reminds viewers she’s not the first. If there’s one thing Meghan Markle has never been able to tolerate anyone or anything is taking the attention away from her. The second the spotlight shifts, it becomes a problem. So maybe that was the part that didn’t sit well? And if simply being referred to as “royalty” was enough to offend her, why has she spent years making sure every interview, business venture and public appearance is tied to the Duchess of Sussex title? She’s slapped that Duchess title on almost everything she’s touched since leaving the Royal Family. Netflix, podcasts, interviews, business ventures… the title is always front and centre because it’s the one thing that still makes her marketable. Imo Meghan is just acting offended so she can pretend she’s above it while still sucking the life out of the title. The woman who has herself announced as “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex” to a reporter sitting alone, or sends gift baskets signed “HRH The Duchess of Sussex” to a so-called friend, is not someone who gets offended when addressed as royalty. She loves the title when it benefits her. She’s just reinforcing the narrative that everyone else is obsessed with the royal connection while she’s supposedly moved on. Her own actions completely undermine that story. Or maybe it’s time the public respected her privacy and also stopped using the royal titles so we don’t offend her again. 🙄 And while we’re at it, Poh didn’t exactly help herself either. The way she rolled out, “The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle!” like she was announcing a head of state was pure overkill. It came off desperate and embarrassing. She’s a guest judge on a cooking show, not a visiting monarch. Hopefully she learned there’s no need to try to elevate someone with that kind of introduction. This is exactly why people end up believing their own press. The title isn’t a personality.

When Just Meghan Markle Isn’t Enough. One of the funniest examples of media manipulation is how they constantly refer to Catherine as “Kate Middleton” while bending over backwards to call Meghan “the Duchess of Sussex” in every other sentence. What makes it so amusing is that “Kate Middleton” still outshines “The Duchess of Sussex.” Catherine doesn’t need a title to be recognised, admired, respected, or loved. Call her Kate Middleton, Catherine, Princess of Wales, or future Queen - people know exactly who she is. Meanwhile, the endless insistence on “Duchess of Sussex” for Meghan, despite her no longer being a working royal and despite years of attacking the institution that granted the title, creates the opposite impression. It proves that “Meghan Markle” alone isn’t enough to carry the headline. Catherine never has to lean on hers. However, Meghan Markle needs HRH on a gift basket sent to a so called friend and “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex” announced when a journalist arrives for an interview, despite there reportedly being only two people there. Talk about overcompensating. 🤭 That constant need to attach the title to everything doesn’t make her seem more important. It highlights how little standalone impact “Meghan Markle” actually has. And to everyone who claims to hate the monarchy while insisting on calling her “The Duchess of Sussex” at every opportunity, thanks for proving the point. If titles are so meaningless and outdated, why cling to this one so desperately? The truth is, you’re not promoting Meghan Markle. You’re promoting the title. And in doing so, you’re highlighting exactly how much of the appeal is tied to being a Duchess rather than simply being Meghan Markle. I understand the frustration. She’ll never be the future Queen. But the constant reliance on the title only reinforces what many of you are trying so hard to deny: Meghan Markle alone isn’t enough.

Oprah Winfrey said she called Meghan Markle in early 2018 asking for an interview and was told “it wasn’t the right time.” Now it’s being spun as if the palace blocked it. If Oprah was so interested in Meghan, what stopped her from interviewing her before Harry was even in the picture? Where was that interest when Meghan was just another working actress trying to make it? Where was the sit-down when she was deep in Suits, far from global headlines? No one needed palace permission back then. No one was “banned.” No palace. No restrictions. No “people in the room.” No one to “block” anything. You want to blame the palace as if it was some kind of silencing move, but you fail to understand that instead it exposes what this really is. Meghan Markle was simply not someone Oprah was prioritising for a major sit-down. Nor was Meghan Markle relevant enough for that level of attention. It’s also interesting how Meghan frames it as not being “allowed” to speak privately, with others present, as if that’s unusual. She was about to marry into one of the most scrutinised institutions in the world. Of course communications are structured. That’s not some shocking revelation, that’s standard. Then comes the key line. “Now we can speak freely.” “Now I can say yes.” So what changed? It only became “the right time” once she had the global platform, the title, and the leverage that came with the royal connection. You can’t rewrite this into a story about being silenced by the palace when the timeline shows something much simpler. The demand wasn’t there before Harry. The value wasn’t there before the royal family connection. And suddenly, after everything, we’re supposed to believe this was always about “not being allowed” rather than finally having something to sell. Let that sink it.

Meghan Markle: “I wasn’t just being thrown to the wolves. I was being fed to the wolves.” Also Meghan Markle: here’s our Oprah interview, here’s our Netflix documentary, here’s Harry’s memoir, here’s our podcasts, here’s our magazine interviews, and here’s another anonymous source briefing the media. Sorry, but do people really believe everything these two say? Even listening to their story in their own words, it comes across as an incredibly self-serving narrative. We’re supposed to believe a love story that began with Harry seeing Meghan on Instagram with a dog filter and asking, “Who is that?” I swear he himself doesn’t even believe what he is saying. Then we’re told they wanted to take things slowly, yet the relationship moved at breakneck speed. And then there’s Meghan talking about how she had her life, her path, her career until she met H. A career doing what exactly, Meghan Markle? The way she tells it, you’d think she was a global superstar at the height of her profession. The reality was a lot less dramatic. The constant rewriting of history is exhausting. And the complete lack of self-awareness. They spent years accusing the Royal Family of leaking and briefing the press while making a career out of telling their very self serving side of every private family disagreement. Even now, we’re getting stories weeks before Harry’s supposed UK trip about possibly bringing Archie and Lili, visiting Diana’s grave, and all sorts of personal family details. If privacy is so important, why is any of that being briefed to the media in the first place? Nobody has revealed more private family conversations, more family grievances, or more personal details than Harry and Meghan themselves. Yet somehow we’re still expected to believe they’re the victims of leaks and briefings. Harry and Meghan demand privacy while constantly managing a public narrative. Most people who want privacy simply live their lives. They don’t announce every grievance, every family dispute, every visit, every plan and every emotion through interviews, books, documentaries and briefings.

Meghan Markle: Your Victim Card Has Been Declined. Nobody plays the victim better than the person who helped create the very situation they’re complaining about. Meghan Markle has said she’s the most bullied person on the internet, trolled every day for a decade. It’s become the central part of her public identity. Criticism doesn’t become bullying simply because you don’t like it. Much of what Meghan is criticised for stems from her own interviews, documentaries, public statements and business ventures. Those were all voluntary. The moment every disagreement gets labelled “abuse,” accountability vanishes. Victimhood stops being something that happened to you and turns into a permanent shield against any honest examination of your own choices. Then there’s the selective outrage. She speaks about kindness and the damage of online abuse, yet has publicly thanked prominent Sussex Squad supporters, even though some of the most visible accounts spent years going after Catherine and other members of the Royal Family with a level of intensity that would never have been tolerated in reverse. She has demanded privacy while repeatedly choosing to air private family disputes in the most public ways possible. She has condemned online toxicity while staying completely silent as conspiracy theories about Catherine’s health spread during one of the most vulnerable periods of her life. You can’t keep asking the public to live by standards you refuse to apply consistently yourself. Kindness isn’t something you switch on only when it benefits your narrative. Neither is accountability.

Prince Harry is the worst kind of stupid: arrogant, spiteful, entitled, vindictive, shameless and profoundly disloyal. Meghan Markle is an outsider. She married into the Royal Family, saw the status, privilege and access that came with it, and has spent years trying to squeeze every last drop out of that connection. Nasty? Absolutely. Shameless? Without question. But at least you can understand the self-interest. Harry is different. Harry is family. He grew up inside that family. He knew his grandmother. He knew his father. He grew up beside William. He knew Catherine. He knew exactly who these people were long before Meghan ever walked through the palace gates. And what did he do with that knowledge? He sold it. Oprah. Netflix. Spare. Interviews. Court cases. Private conversations. Family arguments. Childhood memories. Nothing was off limits once there was money, publicity or a grievance to be squeezed out of it. Let’s kill one argument right here: Harry wasn’t some brave outsider exposing a terrible family. He was raised in that family. He was loved by that family. He was protected by that family. He was privileged by that family. He knew these people for decades. From the beginning, Harry and Meghan understood there was one enormous advantage on their side. The Royal Family was never going to fight them in the same way. The Palace wasn’t going to answer every accusation, every interview, every insinuation and every private detail dragged into the public. So they filled the silence with their version of events. The longer it went on, the more the contradictions piled up. Stories changed. Claims were challenged. Details didn’t always match. Yet the narrative kept being pushed because they knew the people on the other side were unlikely to engage in a public back-and-forth. That isn’t “speaking truth to power.” That is exploiting the restraint of a family that cannot, and should not, fight back in the same way. Harry knew exactly what he was doing. He knew his family would protect the institution, protect private family matters & refuse to turn the monarchy into a public mud-slinging contest. And he used that restraint against them. So when Meghan attacked his family, Harry wasn’t some clueless husband blindly repeating things he didn’t understand. He knew them. He chose to scheme beside her while she dragged them. He chose to add his own accusations. He chose the cameras, the contracts, the headlines & the victim narrative. He didn’t just leave. He turned his family into a business model. And the pattern didn’t stop with them. Harry has long treated his mother’s name & legacy as something he can leverage, brand, and redirect whenever it suits him. The same instinct that turned private family life into content has been applied to her memory and the causes once tied to it. Meghan married into the family & exploited the connection. Harry was born into it, benefited from it his entire life, knew exactly what he was betraying, and then sold the betrayal back to the world. That isn’t courage. That isn’t truth-telling. That isn’t “finding his voice.” It’s betrayal. A stranger can hurt you. But a family member who knows your history, knows your vulnerabilities, knows your private life, knows exactly where to hurt you, and then hands all of it to the world for money and attention? That is something else entirely. Harry didn’t just walk away from his family. He monetised attacking them. And somehow, after all of that, he still wants us to believe he’s the victim. No. He isn’t the victim. He tried to destroy their reputation, but the more Harry & Meghan talked, the more people started seeing them for exactly who they are. The contradictions piled up, the self-serving narrative became harder to ignore, & their credibility took the hit. The Royal Family didn’t expose Harry & Meghan. Harry & Meghan exposed themselves. And Harry is still angry that the world didn’t see the Royal Family through his evil eyes.

I genuinely cannot understand how someone can watch this story and still stand there, looking at two women, and somehow decide that the wrong one is the victim. On one side, you have a girl (Yıldız) who has been mistreated her entire life. Since the moment she was born, she was treated like a sacrifice for a conflict she was never even part of and later we find out that this conflict never even existed. Her right to study was taken from her. She was pushed into a marriage at a very young age just imagine being six, seven, eight years old, living in fear of being tied to someone you don’t even know. She was treated like a servant in her own home, by the very people she thought were her family. And just when she gets close to the happiness she dreamed of, the man she was engaged to shows up with another wife. She gets mistreated by that wife, by his family, and even (unintentionally) by him, because he was trying to run away from his own feelings, and that only caused her more heartbreak. The whole world was literally against her. She fought through all of that, only to find out in the end that everything she suffered for was based on something that wasn’t even real. Her entire life was built on a lie. That she isn’t even part of that family that she has literally no one in this world. Now on the other side… You have a girl (Melek) who, yes, was taken from her biological mother but she was raised by loving parents. She had everything anyone could wish for: education, freedom, a happy childhood, a healthy environment. She lived her life, fell in love, went out, made choices and no one questioned her, no one controlled her. And then what did she do? She found out that her man was engaged to another woman before marrying her (and even saw him marry her) and instead of holding on to her dignity, she chose to stay, to fight for a man who lied to her, to hold onto a marriage he tried to end multiple times. She used her unborn child to keep him tied to her. She lied constantly, and her excuse was that she was “protecting her marriage” a marriage that was already broken from the moment Serhat removed that ring at the airport in episode one. She tried to hand Yıldız (a woman who had already suffered enough) over to dangerous people. Then she found out the truth about her own birth (that her father ra*ped her mother.)And still no empathy. No moment of humanity toward her own mother. All she cared about was herself. And even though none of this had anything to do with Yıldız, she still found a way to blame it on her. Instead of holding her father accountable, she went and made a deal with him to get rid of Yıldız. She literally made a deal with the devil just to hurt Yıldız one more time. And after all of that… you want me to feel sorry for her? You want me to call her a victim? I honestly cannot believe we are living on the same planet with people who see this and still say, “she’s the victim.” Not morally. Not logically. Not emotionally. There is no world where this makes sense. It’s like watching someone clearly cause harm, and still calling them the victim and actually BELIEVING it. #HalefKöklerinÇağrısı

Meghan Markle - Too Important To Grocery Shop, Too Irrelevant To Draw A Crowd. Let’s check reality for a second here. Meghan Markle said that if she had total anonymity for a month, she’d go grocery shopping every day because she misses it so much. Which raises an obvious question… who exactly is stopping her? Because if the concern is overwhelming public attention, where is the evidence of it? Geneva roadside appearances had barely any visible public reaction. Australia visits raised questions about the level of interest. Harry visited Ukraine without the overwhelming attention they often imply follows them everywhere. That’s what makes the endless complaints about security, years of court battles over security, and millions spent on security start looking strange. Then you see multiple security escorts walking Meghan Markle to her seat at a Balenciaga show and it creates a very different impression altogether. In a room full of celebrities with far bigger global profiles, people start wondering whether the security is really about protection or whether the optics have become part of the image itself. At some point it starts feeling less about actual danger and more about maintaining an image. Heavy security creates optics. People look twice, speculate, assume importance. The spectacle becomes part of the brand. Millions spent, endless headlines, years of complaints over security… for what exactly? The overwhelming threat of being ignored? ‼️ The uncomfortable truth is some influencers pull stronger public reactions now. That isn’t even shade, it’s an observation. Maybe a little less obsession with appearing important and a little more grounding would do wonders, because when the performance of importance becomes bigger than the public interest itself, it stops looking impressive and starts looking embarrassing. And the uncomfortable truth is that people who are genuinely important usually don’t need this much effort convincing everyone else they are.
