Megan Markle Criticized for Self-Praising Speech at One Young World Summit

Megan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has faced criticism for her recent public appearance at the One Young World Summit in Manchester.

During her seven-minute speech, Markle referred to herself 54 times, leading to accusations of self-involvement.

The former actress spoke about her journey from Hollywood to royalty, stating, “In many ways, I was probably like a lot like you.

I was young, ambitious.

How on earth did I get here?”

However, royal expert Ingrid Seward dismissed Markle's words as nonsense, suggesting that they lacked substance and focused solely on herself.

Seward expressed her inability to comprehend how the audience of 2,000 young people could relate to Markle's speech.

She criticized the Duchess for making it all about herself and failing to articulate a clear message.

Seward concluded that Markle seemed unaware of what she was talking about, as her speech revolved around self-praise and personal anecdotes.

In other news, Markle's revelation during a recent interview with The Cut has raised eyebrows.

Journalist Allison P. Davis visited the Duke and Duchess of Sussex at their home in Montecito, California, where Markle disclosed her plan to return to Instagram.

This announcement surprised many, as Markle had previously stated that she would not use social media again.

During the interview, Markle shared her thoughts on her possible return to the platform, causing confusion among royal commentators.

Rachel Bowie and Roberta Fiorito, hosts of the podcast “Royally Obsessed,” discussed Markle's contradictory statements.

They highlighted Markle's previous declaration in Fortune magazine that she had no intention of returning to social media.

The hosts questioned whether Markle's confession was genuine or if she was simply trolling the media.

Davis, the journalist who conducted the interview, acknowledged the possibility that Markle's revelation was intended to provoke a reaction.

She suggested that Markle, who has been a target of online trolling, may have wanted to serve the media a taste of their own medicine.

However, Davis also recognized that Markle's statement was indeed newsworthy.

In addition to her Instagram plans, Markle reflected on the challenges she faced after joining the royal family.

Having to relinquish control of her personal Instagram account, where she had amassed 3 million followers, was a significant adjustment for her.

As an official member of the royal family, she joined the Kensington Royal Instagram account, shared with Prince Harry, Prince William, and Kate Middleton.

In 2019, the couple launched their own Instagram profile, Sussex Royal, which gained 1 million followers within six hours.

This move allowed them to break royal protocol and share news and photos on their terms.

However, after stepping back from their royal duties, they were no longer permitted to use the “royal” branding and had to shut down the account.

Markle's recent statements and actions have sparked debate and raised questions about her intentions.

As she continues to navigate her role outside the royal family, her decisions and public appearances will undoubtedly be closely scrutinized.
