Prince Harry and Meg, those two try-hard grifters, stuck in their self-imposed exile from The Firm, recently decided it would be a great idea to pose as actual working royals during a random trip to Nigeria. Yep, Meghan Markle herself donned her best Duchess costume and trotted across the African Commonwealth Nation with her compliant husband in tow, engaging in all the expected PR photo ops. They were inspecting troops, delivering speeches about empowerment or whatever, the whole nine yards.
But here's the catch: they had absolutely zero sanction or approval from King Charles to be gallivanting around the Commonwealth, pretending to be legitimate royals. This was just another day of Megan's desperate quest for publicity, fueled by her insatiable need for attention and a desire to remain the main character in her own narrative.
Let me tell you, the secondhand embarrassment was absolutely paralyzing for everyone forced to witness this circus unfold. Meghan was clearly disappointed that her grand Nigeria moment didn't generate the fawning adulation she craves. As a result, the whole spectacle became increasingly farcical with each stop on their itinerary.
According to some hard-hitting royal experts, Meghan went all out, hamming it up for the cameras to deranged levels. She even changed outfits multiple times during events just to get new looks and coverage, as if she were a fashion icon rather than a somber public servant. And let's not forget her incessant harping about returning to the motherland narrative, as if she were some Nigerian royalty herself, despite being American. It felt like she had deluded herself into believing that this faux tour was some long-awaited coronation, staking her claim as the princess of Nigeria.
The level of arrogance and self-aggrandizement would have been shocking if we weren't already numb to Meghan's perpetual ego trips by now. Veteran royal correspondent Charlotte Griffith didn't hold back when asked about this absurd display, outright branding it a fabulous proportioned fake royal talk conducted by a pair of celebrities indulging in some role cosplay fanfiction for public consumption.
Damning, right? Can you even imagine the abject shame Harry must have felt, having one of the UK's most respected voices tearing into his impromptu little wifey's desperate PR pap walk like that? Charlotte Griffith casually accused the Duchess herself of treating Nigerian poverty like an avant-garde fashion shoot backdrop and called out their romanticized notions about being home amongst their family in West Africa as totally cringe-worthy. She suggested that these Americanisms were born out of ignorance for a self-professed humanitarian and African queen of the people.
Griffith's scathing criticism must have stung worse than a million bees for Meghan. If I were her, I'd be desperately searching for anyone willing to defend her honor against such overt public ridicule on national television. This type of scathing yet thoroughly justified backlash against her latest attention-seeking spectacle is precisely why Nigeria represents Meghan's worst fears coming to life in exquisite high definition. Instead of becoming an aspirational icon, she's becoming the world's most famous punchline.
Think about it. The buzz she's generating now is universally negative and mocking. No longer will people fawn over her supposed wokeness or faux relatability. We've all seen behind the curtain of artificial decorum; the bloom is fully off the Meghan Markle rose. Now, she gets to wallow in infamy instead of pretending at stardom for the rest of her days.
Take, for example, Angela Levan, who's been on a roll with these scathing roasts lately. According to her firsthand accounts, she witnessed the Duchess's grotesque and rude behavior during her time in Nigeria. Megan was outright awful and treated everyone around her with disdain, exhibiting appalling colonial overseer vibes. She lowkey dominated spaces, brushing people off as if they were paid help.
But that's not all. Levin didn't stop there; she also noted the subtle ways Meghan nonverbally abused and emasculated her husband Harry in public. For instance, despite being on his invictor tour, Meghan constantly seemed to pull Harry along, leading him like a misbehaving puppy. Can you imagine having such a self-image problem that you feel the need to assert dominance and submission energy dynamics with your own husband at public events, just to communicate that you're the real deal top dog to the cameras?
