Meghan’s Controversial TV Appearance Sparks Calls to Strip Royal Titles
Meghan Markle's recent appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show has caused a stir among royalists, leading to calls for the Queen to strip the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of their titles.
During the interview, Meghan discussed her new book, The Bench, and shared intimate stories about her life with Prince Harry before their relationship became public.
However, critics have labeled the interview as cheesy and plastic, in stark contrast to the couple's serious sit-down with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year.
Piers Morgan, known for his outspoken opinions, took to social media to troll Meghan Markle, questioning whether the interview addressed the issue of workplace bullying.
Australian TV host Karl Stefanovic also mocked Meghan's portrayal of herself as a first-time mom, particularly when she talked about her daughter Lilibet's teething troubles.
These criticisms, along with others on social media, accuse Meghan of making a mockery of British royalty.
One particular incident during the show that drew significant backlash was a prank in which Meghan drank milk from a baby bottle in public.
Critics argue that such behavior is inappropriate for someone representing the royal family and suggest that now is the time to strip Meghan of her royal title.
They claim she is not acting in a manner befitting her position.
Despite the negative comments, there were many who felt Meghan handled the interview well.
Royal journalist Emily Andrews praised Meghan's behavior on the show, highlighting her charitable work and efforts to shine a spotlight on ordinary people.
During the interview, Meghan revealed that she and Prince Harry had donated £15,000 to a charity called “A Twist of Greatness,” which focuses on braiding hair.
She also disclosed that both she and Harry matched the show's donation, resulting in a total of £30,000 being contributed.
Caitlyn Jenner, former Olympian and reality star, commended Meghan for her interview, stating that she appeared more genuine and at peace with herself.
Jenner acknowledged the challenges of transitioning from obscurity to constant media scrutiny and empathized with Meghan's situation.
She applauded Meghan for being true to herself during the interview.
Noel Phillips, GMB's North America correspondent, noted that Meghan's interview had been well-received by many, suggesting that the Sussex PR machine was working to improve Meghan's public image.
He pointed out that people appreciated seeing a lighter side of Meghan and her ability to poke fun at herself.
This happy-go-lucky demeanor shown in the interview offered insight into why Prince Harry fell in love with her.
Commenting on the matter, royal expert Angela Muller agreed with Phillips, stating that Meghan's authenticity was evident in the interview.
Kylie Gilles, an Australian TV presenter, echoed this sentiment, saying that Meghan's personality showcased during the Ellen interview was likely the reason why Prince Harry fell in love with her.
Gilles also mentioned that the couple's happiness in their new home in Montecito was a testament to their strong bond.
In a surprising twist, a former spokesperson for the Queen claimed that he believed Prince William and Kate Middleton had approved the release of private messages from Meghan Markle.
Tiki Arbiter, speaking on the Royal Beat podcast, suggested that William and Kate would have been consulted before any disclosures were made.
This statement was supported by royal author Duncan Larkin, who speculated that Jason Knauf, a former aide, would not have cooperated with lawyers without the knowledge and consent of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
As the debate over Meghan's interview continues, the controversy surrounding her appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show has intensified.
While critics argue that she has undermined the reputation of British royalty, supporters commend her for her charitable work and authenticity.
The question of whether Meghan and Harry will face any consequences for their actions remains to be seen.
