Meghan Markle loves to do the opposite of what she claims. This post will explore several of these aspects and see what we find. Over the last six years, there have been a ton of opposites and contradictions so that is what we’ll unravel, if you will, here.
There will be a few, so the comments are open on this post if you have other opposites that aren’t included here.
Not Knowing How To Curtsy
The first of the opposites we will address is Meghan’s curtsey. During the Netflix docuseries, she claimed she didn’t know how to curtsey and that Fergie, the mother of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, had to teach her outside the house before she met the Queen.
Actually, this story originated elsewhere but we cannot remember where it came from. Anyway, Meghan claims in the Netflix soap opera that she thought Harry was joking when he asked if she knew how to curtsey and questioned why she would have to if it was just his grandmother. Harry was truly naive or so captivated by Meghan to think she didn’t know what to do or who the Queen was when she was working and living (at the time) in a Commonwealth country where The Queen was the head of state and her portrait was everywhere, including in government buildings and on the money.
This what Meghan claimed she did when she met the Queen for the first time:
However, anyone with a brain knows that this is not what she did. Also, someone found a clip from Suits where Meghan’s character, Rachel, does a curtsey:
We have seen the original video that was floating around, but we wanted to get this post out of the way and plus, there is no guarantees that the link will embed as some links will and others will not.
Anywho, Meghan got caught out in a lie and it ended up in the mainstream media.
The Beige Of It All
Another opposite that came from the Netflix was Meghan’s claim that she could only wear beige and not colour like the Queen or other senior women in the royal family. Now, this one caused a lot of people to raise their eyebrows.
Why? Well because it was well documented that Meghan did wear a ton of colour as a working royal.
Here’s a few examples, á là Exhibit A.
There are others, but this is just a sample of the ones we had stored away. These do not look beige. Beige colours would be black, grey, white, off-white, cream, you get the idea.
Yet, now, all Meghan wears is beige. Exhibit B.
Not Wanting Titles
Meghan’s most hypocritical claim is that she never cared about her title and that her greatest title is ‘mom.’ Okay, well, why does she constantly refer to herself as ‘Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex’? Her devoted (and rabid) fanbase, the Sussex quad, would claim, ‘Oh, it’s Princess Meghan’s name.’ First off, she is not ‘Princess Meghan’ though she would probably love that. She married a British prince, not a Swedish, Danish or Norwegian prince. Princess Sofia of Sweden gained her title of Princess when she married Prince Carl Philip. The same applies to Queen Mary of Denmark (when she married King Frederik, then the Crown Prince) and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway.
In England, it is done differently. When a high ranking prince marries, they are often gained a dukedom, or an earldom, in the case of Prince Edward. The new wife is granted the female version of her new husband’s dukedom, so Duchess. In Sophie’s case, she became a Countess, before she became the Duchess of Edinburgh when her husband became the Duke of Edinburgh on his 59th birthday.
Titles For The Children
Next, we have the children’s titles. When Archie was born, Meghan, and be extension, Harry, said they wanted their son to grow up untitled, as per the ABC – Australia’s iteration of the ABC. It was also reported by their beloved lapdog, Omid Scobie.
However, during the Oprah interview, Meghan claimed that Archie wasn’t going to be a ‘Prince’ at birth because of his race when other ‘great-grandchildren’ where titled. She was referring to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, who were titled from birth. Now, the reason for this was because The Queen before George’s birth, changed the convention so that any child of William’s, regardless of gender and which order they were born in, would be titled. Why? Because William is the future king and his children would be in direct line to the throne.
The convention was NOT changed for Archie like Meghan claims. The convention says clearly, and she mentioned that she is aware of it, that the heirs to throne are titled. So, we are talking the eldest children. This means Charles, who was then the Prince of Wales, William and his children. This did not include Harry and Archie.
When George was born, Harry got pushed down the line one place. When Charlotte and Louis were born, the same possess happened, each time. Upon George’s birth, Harry was no longer in direct line to the throne, meaning his children would have to wait for their grandfather to become King to get titles. So, Meghan was wrong… big time. Archie and Lili were only eligible for titles once their grandfather became monarch. It had nothing to do with skin tones and the convention had nothing to do with Archie as his father is the covert Spare.
How Much Meghan Knew About The Royals Before She Met Harry
Now, this one is more of a lie, but we wanted to include it because it shows the depth of how far she is willing to go in an attempt to make people fall in love with her.
So, Meghan has claimed multiple times that she had no idea who Harry was or that she didn’t know much about him. However, her ex-best friend, Ninaki Priddy, thoroughly debunks this in 2017. She said that Meghan had an obsession with Princess Diana and cried while watching the funeral.
Also, mentions the Royal Family a few times on The Tig. She takes a jab at Catherine marrying William and she references Turquoise Mountain, a charity set up by the then-Prince Charles. We did a whole post on this.
