Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has become a polarising figure in the public eye ever since she stepped down from her senior royal position in 2020.
She seems to be a woman who inspires as much admiration as she does controversy.
Previously, Meghan was lauded for her performance in hit legal drama, Suits, and was known for advocating for human rights through her work with UN Women.
However, some royal experts believe Meghan’s most remarkable achievement is how she managed to become a royal and seemingly snatched Prince Harry away from his family.
Most Britons are unhappy and spiteful towards the Duchess after her controversial remarks about the royals and for disturbing the age-old institution.
Looking back, some suggest the conjecture that the feud began when Meghan wasn't granted a grander address in the Windsor Castle and was instead given the humble Frogmore Cottage.
Others believe that it was actually a heated argument that occurred between Meghan and Kate Middleton about Princess Charlotte's bridesmaid dress.
After simmering events of discord between the Sussexes and the royals, a shocking statement rocked the UK as Prince Harry and Meghan announced their decision.
"After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen," the couple posted on their Instagram handle titled 'Duke and Duchess of Sussex' (which is now defunct.)
The dynamics of the royal family took a major shift following the announcement. This also called for brutal backlash for Meghan, who was being blamed for Harry's drastic decision to leave his family.
However, Prince Harry believed that the British press was unnecessarily critical of his wife as it is churning anti-Meghan content day and night. To this day, news about Meghan garners a lot of attention.
Marverine Duffy, director of undergraduate journalism at Birmingham City University, famously noted: "The right-leaning media are leading the charge against Meghan for absolutely no reason other than because she’s Black."
Not to mention, in a research from The Cut, "70% of hateful posts about Meghan Markle come from just 83 accounts" which clearly states a greater agenda in bad mouthing the Duchess of Sussex.
“This campaign comes from people who know how to manipulate the algorithms, manipulate Twitter, stay under the wire to avoid detection and suspension,” Bot Sentinel CEO Christopher Bouzy told BuzzFeed News.
In a dissection of the many ridiculous conspiracies that are associated with Meghan, one that largely shocks is that the Duchess faked her pregnancy in 2019.
"She used something called a moon bump to fake her pregnancies and Archie and Lili, her two children — they were either born via surrogate, or they're dolls," tabloids had said that the time.
The unbelievable gall of these conspiracy theories evidently confirm that there is a bigger force behind the propaganda that aims to defame Prince Harry's wife.
“This level of complexity comes from people who know how to do this stuff, who are paid to do this stuff,” Bouzy said.
At present, with the start of her lifestyle brand, As Ever, and the release of her cooking show, With Love, Meghan, reputed outlets have pleasingly gathered a round of journalists and self proclaimed 'royal experts' who frankly might not even be able to go through their day without bashing the Duchess.
The fascinating art of hating Meghan is getting them big bucks and the monetisation of it all is so fascinating that the deeper one goes into it, the absolute bonkers it gets.
