I am not a Meghan-hater. There are plenty of those. But I admit my patience is wearing thin. It all started so well. And not long after their engagement, Meghan decided that her public role was to echo that of Princess Diana’s, without the broken marriage, affairs and troubled relationship with the media. Meghan would build on Diana’s legacy, double down on the incredible deeds of human compassion which Diana excelled at, with the bonus of diversity attached. Not a terrible mission on paper. Except, unlike Diana’s many deeds, the mission wasn’t authentic. It was rooted in personal PR and an overriding ambition to prove her worth.
You can see how this newly-created “royal persona” would have been in tune with her husband’s wishes. To set right the wrongs of his mother’s life and how it ended, while continuing her charitable work that had genuinely touched so many.
