(This post may contain disputed claims. We make no assertions as to the validity of the information presented by our Opinion Columnist. We are an opinion blog, not a traditional news outlet, and this post should be treated as such. Enjoy.)Meghan Markle is rumored to be unofficially sidelined by the Royal Family. The 37-year-old former D-list actress’ name has inspired a group of “superfans” to threaten to kill people. One is an African-American woman who did nothing more than represent her half-sister Samantha Markle. With her status up in the air in the United Kingdom, Meghan was caught ditching the palace and secretly meeting Michelle Obama, which caused another big scandal. Don’t miss this.
When Meghan Markle set her sights on Prince Harry, she had no idea that mega-stardom would come with a price. By all accounts, including Britan’s Piers Morgan, Markle manipulated her way into the Royal Family. Poor Harry was too love-struck to notice.
And after eight months of marriage, the citizens in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth are not impressed with their new Duchess. The rash of negative press directed at the former Suits star proves she has become a liability for the Royal Family.
Part of the negativity is because Meghan has inspired “superfans”— a cult of unhinged fanatics who are on social media threatening anyone who dares to dislike the Duchess of Sussex. The Sun reports, “Calling themselves the ‘Megulators’, the online vigilantes are said to be waging a cyberwar against their ‘Megxit’ enemies – those who want Meghan booted out of Britain and the Royal Family for good.”
“Cristina Cain, 41, a PR who previously represented Meghan’s estranged half-sister Samantha Markle says certain Megulators have threatened to kill her and made her feel like she is being ‘watched’ every second,” adds the Sun.
All the violence toward the African-American PR representative is coming from the Megulators, and they caused her to contact the FBI and the Braintree Police Department in Massachusetts. She claims, “Megulators hacked my computer and [stole] my money.”
In contrast, those who identify as “Megxit” are a legitimate organized group on social media called the Charlatan Duchess, and they abhor violence and racism. The creator behind the Charlatan Duchess brand said, “I decided to create this group so people of the Commonwealth could come and share their concerns [about Meghan]. It took off and we literally have a brand – #TheCharlatanDuchess.”
She added, “We have many people here who are Americans. They follow the British and the history but are not hardcore monarchists or royalists – even if they have British lineage. They just know a narcissist and a person of nefarious intent when they see one [Meghan]. We comment and share articles, vent, speculate, sort fact from fiction – and stand in awe of these vicious, vicious people called #Megulators.”
And they have rules, including a vetting process so no one is admitted who is not confirmed as a real person. This ensures no trolls are allowed. Racism and any form of discrimination are absolutely off limits.
One member of Charlatan Duchess, Edith Mushore, an African woman in the United Kingdom, says she is offended anyone would claim the group has anything to do with racism.
A British member of the Charlatan Duchess group adds, “Meghan does not seem sincere and has made a habit of snubbing her nose at protocol and rules which is so disrespectful and culturally insensitive. For a self-proclaimed ‘global citizen’ she is very culturally tone deaf and displays no respect for her husband’s country, family or our traditions and least of all of the age-old RULE that the royal family remains totally apolitical.”
All of this outrage directed at the former TV actress is one of the probable reasons she sought out Michelle Obama when she was in London on her big book tour. Supposedly, the former first lady was shocked when Meghan just turned up, without prior warning.
The Daily Mail reported, “The Duchess of Sussex’s attendance was not reported at the time but reports emerged today and have since been confirmed by the palace.” In other words, Meghan once again ditched palace protocols and made her way backstage to see Michelle Obama.
This is the sort of issue the British people aren’t on board with. “We know Meghan’s political views and she does not have the right to modernize’ anything about this nation or its people or culture. That is the prerogative of us the British people, not that of a newcomer wife to what is a minor royal,” said a British Charlatan Duchess supporter.
This is why this “secret” meeting with Michelle Obama isn’t helping the new Duchess’ image with British citizens. And who can blame them? Those like the “Megxit” supporters are called racists and bigots. Those of us in America who support President Donald Trump know all about being branded racists. And it couldn’t be further from the truth.
So what type of conversation did Meghan have with Michelle? Well, according to People Magazine, this was the first time they had ever met, so catching Mrs. Obama off-guard must have made the situation rather awkward. It also doesn’t help with the rumors that Markle seeks high political office in the United States, the Daily Mail reported.
“Meghan was quite clear that she wanted to be president one day,” the source told the Daily Mail. She is said to have told a former close associate that her ultimate ambition is to be president of the U.S. The conversation apparently took place after Meghan began her romance with Prince Harry.
Kensington Palace hushed those rumors right away, but now that her new Duchess gig isn’t going so well, palace sources say she wants a publicist to deal with her bad press. “Meghan wants to hire a Hollywood publicist,” a source told Radar Online. “She’s losing trust in her advisors and feels they are hanging her out to dry.”
And the former Suits star has a problem with her pro-Meghan superfans, the Megulators, and they need to hear from her that violence and threats are not acceptable. Some are speculating that some of the Duchess’ old PR people may be allegedly behind the pro-Meghan Megulators since it was discovered they have no website and their Twitter accounts have no following.
And the PR representative Christina Cain says she called in a cyber expert who said “the same tech being used” by the pro-Meghan trolls who attacked her is the same that Russian trollers use to spread fake news.
This may be another reason the Queen is so frosty toward poor Meghan who can’t seem to get her act together. It seems she had no idea that being part of the British Royal Family means your job is to serve the people of the United Kingdom. Instead, she’d rather be served, and try to look pretty for the paparazzi.
