The release of the Duchess of Sussex’s highly-anticipated “Archetypes” podcast has thrust her back into the spotlight once again, and unsurprisingly she’s not being cast in a flattering light.Listeners absolutely ripped Meghan Markle’s first podcast apart, with critics arguing she came across as completely self-obsessed and didn’t even give distinguished guest, and living legend, Serena Williams the room to adequately express herself.
The Spectatorclaimed, “The show is in fact all about Meghan,” with the former actor even taking an executive-producer credit on it.The Times, meanwhile, described listening to “Archetypes” as akin to feeling as though “you’ve been locked in the relaxation room of a wellness spa with an unusually self-involved yoga instructor.”
Suffice it to say, the duchess got little credit from the British press, with whom she’shad issuesfor years.
And now, a former politician is taking aim at Meghan for having the gall to, as he sees it, continue sharing her life with the world when nobody asked her to in the first place.
The Duchess of Sussex was accused of being utterly self-involved
According to a conservative British politician, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle’s biggest mistake was believing she would “become Princess Diana overnight” after marrying Prince Harry.
During a recent appearance on GB News (viaYouTube), former Tory MP David Mellor railed against the Duchess of Sussex’s perceived missteps, arguing, “She’s turning her life into a soap [opera] and she’s a soap actress so why wouldn’t she?”
It’s worth noting, perIMDb, Meghan appeared in a single episode of “General Hospital,” and her most high-profile role to date was in the legal drama “Suits,” so she’s certainly not primarily known as a soap star.
Mellor continued, “Basically, it’s a sort of crazy world which she inhabits where she assumes that everyone is totally fascinated by every little detail either of her current life or of her past life and doesn’t mind whether it’s true or not.”
The politician was discussing “Archetypes” at the time, and claimed to have previously been a fan of the duchess.
He soured on her considerably when it became clear Meghan didn’t want to roll up her sleeves, as Diana always did, and simply desired a life of luxury instead.
Funnily enough,Peopleconfirmed that, upon initially announcing her podcast, the former actor shared how its aim was to “dissect, explore and subvert the labels that make a run at hold women back.”
Meghan Markle’s lack of commitment has been questioned before
Althoughthe relatable way Meghan Markle described pregnancyon her podcast should speak to mothers all over the world, there are still plenty of people poised to criticize her for using her voice in the first place.
In fact, after the Duchess of Sussex revealed there was a fire in her infant son Archie’s nursery during a royal tour of South Africa in 2019, insiders immediately rushed to clarify that there wasn’t a blaze at all, per theDaily Mail.
