Meghan Markle may be used to the publicity when she was an actress but nothing may have prepared her for the newfound worldwide attention and fame that clung onto her the moment her name was first linked with one of the members of the British royal family and eventually when she married the man.
However, the majority of the focus on the former “Suits” actress was negative, which, we can conclude, she doesn’t really need and deserve because we basically don’t know her personally – however, this obvious reason wasn’t enough to persuade people in the rumor mills to stop making things up about her or even blowing them out of proportion.
Bad Press
Since their engagement to the days leading to their May 2018 wedding, Meghan and Prince Harry have been the talk of the town. Things didn’t change when she got pregnant and the bad press about her every move didn’t stop either – the fact that she was carrying a bundle of joy should be underlined here.
What’s more terrifying is that the accusations have become more absurd and somewhat baseless, only relying on hearsays and unnamed sources. Although the Duchess of Sussex has never fought back hard, she has found defense in her close pals, who have all the right to speak about her.
Defense
In the upcoming CBS special titled “Meghan and Harry Plus One,” makeup artist Daniel Martin, who did Meghan’s make-up in her wedding, couldn’t help but break down as he expressed his frustrations over the accusations thrown at his friend’s way. He further narrated that throughout the many years they had worked together, she never acted as if she was a diva.
“True Blood” actress Janina Gavankar revealed Meghan has no plans of being affected by the negative things reported about her and explained that her friend knows that she couldn’t base her life on tabloid headlines left and right. But, multiple sources previously claimed that the Tig founder has been bothered by the rumors surrounding her, especially because she was juggling a lot of things like her pregnancy and royal duties.
Apart from the two, George Clooney had also defended his good friend Meghan in the past. He said he finds it unjust that the media had been targeting the philanthropist when she’s just actually living her life. He went on to describe her as a kind and intelligent woman.
Accusations
Looking back, the grapevine has been fruitful in bringing out unconfirmed stories about Meghan even during her pregnancy. She has been slammed for her outfit choices and is endlessly compared to Kate Middleton, citing the difference in their life before becoming a member of the royal family.
Speaking of the Duchess of Cambridge, there is the undying feud rumor between them, which had become unmanageable that the Kensington Palace started to intervene.
People seemed to have a fondness of pitting the duchesses against each other and every move of the Sussexes have been used to fuel the fire. The Palace had already issued guidelines for those who wish to engage in their social media channels.
