Since her arrival in the United Kingdom, the media knives have been out for this American actress who dared to entwine her fate with Prince Harry\u2019s. But amidst the sensational headlines and relentless criticism, one must wonder: Is there any substance to these accusations?<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s delve into Meghan\u2019s supposed transgressions, examine her alleged missteps, and assess her standing within the British Royal Family. As our Worst Royals series progresses, it\u2019s time to weigh Meghan\u2019s actions against those of her royal counterparts.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Abandoned her rescue dog:<\/strong> Meghan\u2019s decision to leave her rescue dog, Bogart, behind when she relocated to the United Kingdom ignited criticism. Despite adopting Bogart in 2012, she was compelled to part ways with him due to his alleged \u201caggressive\u201d behavior towards Prince Harry. While such pet relocations aren\u2019t uncommon during overseas moves, it\u2019s nonetheless a saddening episode.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deviation from dress protocol:<\/strong> Meghan\u2019s fashion choices, particularly her penchant for going bare-legged during official engagements, raised eyebrows among royal experts. Despite Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s supposed disapproval of this breach of dress protocol, Meghan\u2019s attire became a subject of scrutiny, with even the shade of her pantyhose scrutinized.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Announced her pregnancy at Princess Eugenie\u2019s wedding:<\/strong> The timing of Meghan and Harry\u2019s pregnancy announcement, coinciding with Princess Eugenie\u2019s wedding, sparked controversy. While some defended the couple\u2019s decision as practical, others criticized it as a breach of wedding etiquette.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Estrangement from her father:<\/strong> Meghan\u2019s strained relationship with her father, Thomas Markle, escalated following his tabloid exploits and subsequent absence from her wedding. Their public feud and Thomas\u2019s claims of being \u201cfrozen out\u201d have soured their once-close bond.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cMegxit\u201d:<\/strong> Meghan and Harry\u2019s departure from their royal duties, dubbed \u201cMegxit,\u201d fueled speculation about Meghan\u2019s influence on Harry\u2019s decision. While some blame Meghan for the couple\u2019s departure, others attribute it to Harry\u2019s disillusionment with the royal family\u2019s treatment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accusations of bullying staff:<\/strong> Allegations of Meghan\u2019s bullying behavior towards royal staff surfaced in 2021, prompting an investigation by Buckingham Palace. While the report\u2019s conclusions remain undisclosed, Meghan\u2019s spokesperson dismissed the allegations as a smear campaign.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Public airing of grievances:<\/strong> Meghan and Harry\u2019s candid revelations during their interview with Oprah Winfrey drew mixed reactions. While some criticized the couple for airing their grievances publicly, others lauded them for shedding light on their experiences.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Climate activism vs. private jet use:<\/strong> Meghan and Harry\u2019s advocacy for climate change clashed with their use of private jets, prompting accusations of hypocrisy. Despite their claims of carbon offsetting, their preference for private travel sparked condemnation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In conclusion, Meghan\u2019s alleged wrongdoings pale in comparison to those of other members of the royal family, earning her the title of the \u201cleast worst royal\u201d in our assessment. While she may have her flaws, the extent of the media\u2019s vilification of Meghan remains open to interpretation. Ultimately, Meghan\u2019s journey within the royal fold continues to captivate audiences, leaving us to ponder the underlying biases that fuel the tabloid frenzy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The spotlight has once again shifted onto Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, as she finds herself at the epicenter\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":42575,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[1588],"class_list":["post-42574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-meghan-markle"],"reading_time":"3 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42574"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42574\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
