Meghan Markle may never gain the same level of public acceptance as Queen Camilla, according to royal insiders who claim the Duchess of Sussex lacks one crucial trait her royal counterpart has mastered which is silence.
In a candid interview on Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, royal biographer Robert Jobson shared why Meghan continues to struggle for approval in the United Kingdom, while Queen Camilla has quietly earned her place within the royal family and the hearts of the British public.
Jobson did not hold back when comparing the two women, stating bluntly, “Through all of the bad times she had, Camilla never said a word. She never spoke publicly about anything. That’s what’s likeable about her.”
He went on to explain that Queen Camilla, despite facing years of criticism and scandal following her relationship with King Charles during his marriage to Princess Diana, simply stayed the course and earned admiration through patience and discretion.
“She’s a very likeable person,” Jobson continued. “She’s got a great character and she’s not looking for anybody to like her, which ironically makes her more likable.”
On the other hand, Meghan Markle has frequently used media platforms to express her feelings, grievances, and personal experiences, especially after stepping down from royal duties alongside Prince Harry in 2020.
From the explosive Oprah Winfrey interview to the Netflix documentary series Harry & Meghan, and Prince Harry’s memoir Spare, the couple’s public image has been dominated by revelations, criticism of the royal institution, and emotional appeals.
Jobson warned that this strategy is unlikely to succeed in the long run. “If Meghan spends her life worrying about whether she’s liked or not, invariably she’ll end up disappointed,” he said. “Because some people like you and some people don’t. That’s just the way it is.”
The expert then dropped a bombshell opinion that reflects a growing sentiment among royal watchers in the UK. “So can she turn herself around, Meghan in the UK? I doubt it, I doubt it,” Jobson concluded.

Queen Camilla, formerly one of the most controversial women in Britain, has now become a symbol of quiet loyalty and stability. She has rarely given interviews, avoids social media noise, and follows her royal duties with a calm and unassuming presence.
In contrast, Meghan’s reputation in the UK has taken a sharp downturn, with polls showing her popularity continuing to decline. Despite efforts to rebrand through her lifestyle brand As Ever and her Netflix cooking show With Love, Meghan, the Duchess still faces public resistance.
Some analysts argue that Meghan’s desire to control the narrative may be working against her. The British public, they say, prefers restraint and humility over media battles and constant visibility.
Meanwhile, Queen Camilla has successfully transitioned from scandal to respectability, even taking on more responsibility since King Charles’s cancer diagnosis. Her image is now one of unwavering support for her husband and devotion to the Crown.
This contrast between the two women has become a growing topic in royal commentary. One represents modern celebrity culture and brand building, the other reflects traditional royal values of silence and service.
As Meghan Markle continues to navigate her post-royal life, the comparisons to Queen Camilla are inevitable and not always in her favor. Despite having once been one of the most admired royal figures globally, Meghan’s path to redemption in the UK appears narrower than ever.
With expert voices like Robert Jobson weighing in, the Duchess may find that no matter how well she markets herself abroad, winning over Britain is an entirely different game that Queen Camilla has already mastered without ever saying a word.
