8 She Doesn’t Have Any Experience With This Kind Of Life
First, let’s get this out of the way: Meghan Markle is smart. She’s exceptionally intelligent. She knows her way around the world. She’s thoughtful. She’s well-spoken and she’s got a good head on her shoulders. There really isn’t much you can say about her that’s bad. But, what worries fans the most is that she has very little experience.
Up until she met Prince Harry, she had no idea what life looked like behind palace doors. Sure, she’s got Harry, but he had a very different upbringing than what she had.
Prince Harry explained to Newsweek, “My mother took a huge part in showing me an ordinary life, including taking me and my brother to see homeless people. Thank goodness I’m not completely cut off from reality. People would be amazed by the ordinary life William and I live. I do my own shopping. Sometimes, when I come away from the meat counter in my local supermarket, I worry someone will snap me with their phone. But I am determined to have a relatively normal life, and if I am lucky enough to have children, they can have one too.” He pauses, then adds, “Even if I was king, I would do my own shopping.”
7 Critics Will Be Ruthless
We see it happen to almost every female who marries into the British royal family: the critics either eat them alive, or they try to spit them out. There really is no in between. It happened to Princess Diana. It happened to Sarah Ferguson. It happened to Camilla Parker-Bowles. And it’s still even happening to Kate Middleton. For some reason or another, critics think it’s a good idea to criticize every little detail about these women, simply because they don’t fit their ideal.
And the same definitely applies to Meghan Markle. The press doesn’t like her because she’s different. She doesn’t fit the status quo and for a lot of people, they think she just doesn’t have what it takes to be a proper royal. That is also one of the reasons why Meghan is so determined to prove them wrong.
According to People Magazine, Meghan once put it this way: “Being ‘ethnically ambiguous,’ as I was pegged in the industry, meant I could audition for virtually any role. Morphing from Latina when I was dressed in red, to African American when in mustard yellow, my closet filled with fashionable frocks to make me look as racially varied as an Eighties Benetton poster.”
6 The British Media Won’t Give Her A Pass
It’s no secret that Prince Harry is by far one of the most well-liked members of the British royal family. After all, he’s always enjoyed quite a lot of popularity and high approval ratings about the British public. With that being said, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that the British press are very protective of their Harry. And for some people, they just think that Meghan isn’t good enough for their prince. And if that weren’t enough, others have even claimed that Meghan is a social climber who only wants one thing: fame, fortune and access to the crown jewels.
Now, a lot of people are going to believe what they want to believe, but some of the criticism have gotten a bit too far. In fact, many people have claimed that Meghan didn’t even curtsy to Queen Elizabeth at her own wedding. Clearly, she did, but that wasn’t enough for people to slam her on social media. Critics have been slamming her left and right for not doing what was royal protocol.
“Could someone please tell me why she did not curtsy to the Queen? Is this a new protocol? Because she is American? Because she forgot? What?” one person tweeted.
