Even people who don't usually follow royal family drama look at
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex and
Prince Harry with at least a bit of disgust. Meghan, the former Meghan Markle, married into the
royal family, existed on the sidelines for a while, and is now making a name for herself as a formerly active member of the family alongside her husband. If it were just that, it would hardly be notable. But Meghan and Harry not only reject the dutiful life of a royal but spend much time of their criticizing their family and continue to parlay their fame into financial deals and even more notoriety. It's all a bit tiresome considering their home base is in the United States.
From an outsider's perspective, Meghan comes across as an opportunistic social climber. She is a former actress whose greatest claim to fame before her courtship and marriage to Harry was her role in USA Network's show
Suits. Meghan's self-importance is evident. Since stepping back from royal duties, she and her husband have played the victim card on many occasions. In fact, a
new Netflix documentary titled
Harry & Meghan appears to focus on just that. The real question is: What did Meghan expect as a member of the royal family?
