Amidst the backdrop of her own controversial exit from royal duties and subsequent bullying accusations, Meghan's comments have added fuel to the ongoing debate about her role within the royal family and her relationship with the media
- Meghan Markle feels bullied
- She spoke to teens about being a victim
- THIS is what happened
Meghan Markle's Shocking Revelation!
During a visit to Girls Inc. in Santa Barbara, California, Meghan Markle opened up to a group of teenagers, revealing she feels like "one of the most bullied people in the world." The event, aimed at discussing emotional impacts of various scenarios, provided a platform for Meghan to share her own experiences with bullying.
Christopher Andersen, author of 'The King,' expressed concerns over Meghan's statements, suggesting that her complaints might be seen as "egocentric whining" given her history of facing bullying accusations herself. Andersen highlighted the intense criticism Meghan has faced online but questioned the wisdom of her playing the victim card.
"The amount of visceral anger aimed at Meghan online is quite remarkable," he shared. "If Meghan feels unfairly targeted, she probably has every right to. But is it wise for someone who has been described as a workplace bully – whether it's true or not – to complain that she is a victim of bullying? It may come off as just more egocentric whining. We've heard it all before."
"There's nothing wrong with Meghan empathizing with young girls who must deal with online bullying," he pointed out. "She just has to resist the temptation to make it all about her."
Andersen also warned that the mother of two continuing to speak out about bullying claims will make it less likely for the royal family to extend an olive branch.
"The royal family washed its hands of Meghan some time ago," he claimed. "If the royals are paying any attention to Meghan at all, this bullying complaint will only shore up the image they already have of her as a self-absorbed narcissist."
"We did an activity where we talked through a bunch of scenarios, and Meghan talked about being one of the most bullied people in the world," May recalled. "We had girls wave these little emoji signs and talk about how each one of these scenarios would have impacted them emotionally," she added.
Following Meghan's exit from royal duties, Buckingham Palace launched an investigation into claims that Meghan had bullied several staff members. Though the palace has updated its HR policies post-investigation, the specifics remain under wraps, leaving the public and royal insiders speculating about the true nature of Meghan's interactions with her staff.
Despite the controversy, Meghan continues to speak out against bullying, drawing attention to her personal struggles and advocating for those facing similar challenges. However, this has not been without criticism. Some insiders suggest that her focus on personal experiences detracts from the broader issues at hand, potentially alienating her further from the royal family.

Critics argue that Meghan's anti-bullying stance may blur the lines between genuine advocacy and self-promotion. With previous staff members labeling her a "dictator in high heels," the Duchess's efforts to combat bullying are met with skepticism by some, who see her actions as ironic given the allegations against her.
As Meghan navigates her post-royal life, her outspokenness on bullying and her attempts to reshape her public image continue to stir debate. Whether her advocacy will lead to meaningful change or further controversy remains to be seen.
