Meghan Markle’s surprise appearance at Paris Fashion Week has once again ignited a storm of controversy and royal fans are not holding back.
The Duchess of Sussex made her highly anticipated debut at the glamorous event, stepping out in an elegant all-white ensemble that immediately drew media attention. According to Page Six, Meghan’s presence in the French capital was meant to mark a new chapter in her rebranding journey. But instead, it’s sparked a fiery debate about her true motives.
Following her appearance, social media erupted with divided opinions. Some praised her style and confidence, while others accused her of trying too hard to remain relevant on the global stage.
One royal fan commented bluntly, “Meghan is not cut out to be a princess in the real world. Real princesses, like Catherine, Princess of Wales, and Princess Anne, devote themselves to serving others. Meghan only wants to serve herself.”
The fan continued, “She thought being a princess meant sitting on a throne all day and being waited on hand and foot. She was, and still is, an actress — and like many actresses, she just wants to be the center of attention.”
Another critic claimed that Meghan’s public appearances are more orchestrated than authentic. “Markle paid fans to ‘see her leaving her hotel!’” they alleged. “She’s too important to herself to let anyone know where she’s really staying. It’s all smoke and mirrors.”
The backlash didn’t stop there. A third observer mocked Meghan’s ongoing attempts to redefine her image, saying, “She went from thinking she was the next Princess Diana to trying and failing to become the next Kim Kardashian.”
Meanwhile, others warned that Meghan’s influence could soon diminish once major royal changes take place. “She won’t be a success much longer,” one critic predicted. “As soon as William becomes king, he’ll wave his wand and she’ll be a commoner once again.”
Despite the harsh comments, Meghan’s supporters have defended her, saying that her visit to Paris shows her growing independence and ambition beyond the royal sphere. They argue that her commitment to global causes and advocacy for women’s empowerment prove that she’s using her platform for good, even if the spotlight follows her.
But critics insist that every move Meghan makes feels like a calculated PR moment. Royal watchers believe she’s been trying to rebuild her image after the backlash from her Netflix docuseries and Prince Harry’s memoir Spare.
Insiders suggest that Meghan’s renewed focus on fashion, luxury partnerships, and international appearances could be part of a larger strategy to position herself as a global lifestyle icon separate from the British monarchy.
However, this attempt at reinvention has come with challenges. “Meghan is still trying to figure out where she fits in the public eye,” one royal expert noted. “She wants to be seen as influential and respected, but many view her as self-serving, which makes it hard for her to gain sympathy.”
Her decision to attend Paris Fashion Week in secret has only fueled speculation about her next steps. Some believe she’s paving the way for a high-profile return to the European scene, possibly involving new business ventures or collaborations in the fashion and wellness industries.
Still, Meghan’s critics remain skeptical. “Everything she does seems designed to draw attention,” one commentator said. “The problem is that people see through it now.”
Whether her Paris appearance was a smart career move or another PR misfire, one thing is certain that Meghan Markle continues to divide public opinion wherever she goes.
