Meghan Markle is once again under fire online after a resurfaced video shows her criticizing the British royal family’s strict dress code, with social media users mocking her as the “biggest complainer.” In the clip, now making its rounds on X (formerly Twitter), the Duchess of Sussex reflects on her time in the U.K. and admits she struggled with rules that restricted how she could present herself.
“Oh, I don’t find I’m just being myself,” Meghan says in the video. “So I think probably it was different several years ago, where I couldn’t be as vocal and I had renewed pantyhose all the time. It just be honest, that was not very myself. I hadn’t seen pantyhose since movies in the ’80s, when they came in the little egg. That felt a little bit inauthentic, but that’s a silly example, but it is an example of when you’re able to dress the way you want to dress and you’re able to say the things that are true and you’re able to show up in the space, really organically and authentically. That’s being comfortable in your own skin.”
Meghan Markle Faces Immense Backlash For Recent Comments On Pantyhose
One X user harshly captioned the viral clip, “And the award for the biggest complainer, biggest grifter and the biggest liar goes to Meghan Markle!” Others piled on in the comments, blasting the Duchess as ungrateful for criticizing traditions tied to the world’s most famous monarchy. “She came off as quite unsophisticated and petty, married into the oldest Royal Family in the world. She had incredible privilege, yet she felt inauthentic when wearing hose. Is her self-esteem that fragile?” one critic wrote.
Another added, “Don’t marry into the BRF if you are opposed to rules.” Many echoed the same sentiment, calling Meghan’s complaints “pathetic.” One user slammed her delivery, saying, “Her body language is of a schoolgirl who is making up stories and tries to look convincing.”
Beyond fashion rules, some critics accused Meghan of undermining her husband, Prince Harry, with her public remarks. “Why does she keep implying what the RF say and do is untrue?” one commenter asked. “She really wants to isolate her husband more than she already has. He must be slipping away a bit?!?”
The backlash is just the latest example of how Meghan’s reflections on royal life continue to spark heated debate. While supporters praise her for speaking her truth, critics view her complaints, even about something as small as pantyhose, as proof she was never suited for life inside the palace.
