As Meghan Markle and Prince Harry prepare for their inevitable return to the U.K., plenty of setbacks have left the royal family in shambles. In 2020, Harry and Meghan stepped down as working royals and moved to Meghan’s native Southern California, but British-Jamaican socialite Lady Colin Campbell believes Meghan could have inadvertently jeopardized her royal title.
“She isn’t Kate [Middleton], her personality type is not that of somebody who learns from their mistakes,” Colin Campbell told GB News. “She blames everybody else for her errors. She’s not capable of learning a lesson, which is tragic.”
Meghan Markle Is Very Different to Kate Middleton
“For her personal character and personality flaws, she would have now been the most popular human being on Earth,” the author added. “Catherine wouldn’t be. Had she played with a straight bat, she would have knocked Catherine for six. Instead, Catherine has knocked her for a six.”
Once Kate Middleton announced she was diagnosed with cancer and would be undergoing preventative chemotherapy, Prince Harry pumped the brakes on any plans he and Meghan had been sitting on.
“There isn’t anything that the Sussexes are going to be able to do to monetize their connections with the royal family in the future that I can imagine,” British commentator Richard Fitzwilliams shared. “I would also think that Harry will be pretty devastated by the news of his father’s treatment for cancer, and also what’s happened to Catherine.”
“Remember, their popularity is pretty low on both sides of the Atlantic, if anything else happened that was considered tasteless they would plummet,” he continued.
Many Have Their Own Opinions About Meghan
Even Kate Middleton’s uncle had a few unsavory thoughts about Meghan Markle, even going so far as to call her “bad for the country” and “not good people.”
“Let’s face it, Laughing Girl isn’t going to be around forever, is she? I think she’s fickle. And I think she’s so bad for Harry and for our country,” Gary Goldsmith said.
The main controversy surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle points to the fact that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are still claiming to be royals, despite relinquishing their titles four years ago and never reinstating them since. Around the same time as their departure, the pair launched a new website using their Sussex titles and royal insignia.
Many followers of the royal family believed this to be in poor spirits, especially given how Harry and Meghan effectively abandoned the royal family to live full-time in America. As far as the modern-day royals, Meghan Markle certainly isn’t winning any popularity contests.
