Meghan Markle's Tragedy of Comfort and Convenience
Often portrayed in public and media as a victim, Meghan Markle is anything but a picture of struggle and sorrow. The narrative of a woman who found herself in the spotlight due to her tumultuous journey has been more of a mirage. Her public persona, particularly on platforms like Instagram, is built on the foundation of convenient sorrow and personal privilege. The perception of her life being marred by small inconveniences, from a malfunctioning car lock to familial conflicts, is largely a concoction devised for public consumption.
The Deception and Discontentment
Meghan’s claim to sadness and turmoil appears phony to many. Her happiness in sitting next to Ellen DeGeneres, donning a designer outfit, and reveling in the public eye while spouting about her challenging life only adds oil to the flame of skepticism. The narrative of her life being hard is overshadowed by her evident happiness, evident in her many glamorous appearances.
Her persona is one of a self-proclaimed victim of an imperfect life. She is not alone in her pretzel-like reasoning but seems to have taken it to extremes. Her push-back against comments detrimental to her former life has more to do with guarding her comfort and convenience than any genuine struggle.
Behavior and Perception
Meghan’s behavior, from her facial glares to the way she interacts with others, often reveals more about her than she is willing to admit. Her facial expressions, staring, and body language often betray a sense of disdain or superiority rather than genuine distress. The act of getting upset when her husband speaks out of turn or is ignored by others speaks volumes about her insecurity and need for control.
Her upset is fueled by the lack of attention she receives and her perception of herself as a central figure, often resulting in her speaking before her husband, a role she feels entitled to. The estrangement from her own family, a decision seemingly made to fit into her new life, adds to her perceived grievances. However, her grievance is more about the loss of a life where she could dictate terms and conditions.
The Real Impact of Public Attention
The public’s obsession with Meghan and Harry’s every move has led to a deluge of attention and scrutiny. The petition demanding the cessation of funding and stripping titles shows the extent of the public’s distaste for their presence. By ignoring their actions and speeches, the public can potentially reduce the media’s engagement with their efforts to garner attention. If people stop caring about their personal dramas and instead focus on more pressing issues, Meghan and Harry may find themselves less in the public eye.
Their desire for public compassion and attention is thinly veiled. The media ecosystem thrives on such feedings; the more the public consumes, the more publicity they generate. Thus, by ignoring their provocations, the public can effectively shut down this feedback loop, reducing their relevance.
Conclusion: A Never-Was
In essence, Meghan Markle’s portrayal as a troubled but sympathetic figure is more of a constructed myth than a genuine truth. Her actions, as well as her public persona, paint a picture of someone more interested in comfort and convenience than genuine struggle. Her inability to blend seamlessly into her new life, combined with her need for control and attention, suggests that she is worse than a 'has-been.' Her bordering on a 'never-was' reality signifies an impulsive and shallow engagement with her role in the royal family.
