Meghan Markle was mocked for being just a “hot” girl who “married a prince” after the Duchess admitted she wouldn’t know how to describe herself professionally anymore. The Duchess of Sussex stepped down as a senior working member of the Royal Family in 2020, and ever since then, she has embarked on a number of business ventures.
Meghan’s endeavours include her latest series on Netflix, With Love, Meghan, a lifestyle brand, As Ever, and a podcast show titled, Confessions of a Female Founder. This week, the Duchess spoke with fast Company, Meghan, where she revealed: “If I had to write a résumé, I don’t know what I would call myself. I think it speaks to this chapter many of us find ourselves in, where none of us are one note. But I believe all the notes I am playing are part of the same song.”
Now, a royal commentator urged the duchess to stop trying to be “something that she really isn’t” and just embrace being a “hot” woman who married a prince.
Esther Krakue told The Sun about Meghan’s latest comments: “She has also never had to write a resume, let’s be honest. I think the lens through which she views the world is very peculiar.
“I just think this, her trying to posit herself as a champion of women and trying to shoehorn this particularly niche view of the world into something that’s a bit more nuanced and complicated.
“It’s just like, you don’t need to do that. You’re hot. You married a prince. Give us the tea. That’s all we need from her.”
Ms Krakue added that Meghan doesn’t see it “the way that most of the world is” and many of her projects were “low risk” due to her having a “very rich husband” as backup.
She said: “I don’t even want to feel like we’re beating down on everything she does.
“I wish her every success, but I feel sad that she feels the need to be this thing that she’s clearly not.
“She’s not a chemist. She’s not a physicist. And that’s fine. Sometimes it’s OK to just be pretty and to have good fortune in life and to ride that wave.”
