The unending obsession with Meghan Markle: That fuel called ENVY!!

Apart from her obvious and ill-advised attempt to overhaul or upend or modernise our monarchy, what crime is Meghan Markle guilty of?

She is constantly vilified at a similar level to a serial killer or a child molester, by the rough end of the British public, the exact ones who should see her as a beacon of hope. Why?

Envy. Pure and simple

It eats at you, right to your core.

I’m sure you’ve all had the experience of a chat by the coffee machine in the office, when a colleague mentions another colleague has just bought an awesome house and instead of feeling pleased for him or her, as most of us would be, you get that one colleague whose retort would be: how old is he/she? (trying to reassure themselves that they are younger than the colleague who bought a house and in time, they will buy a house too).

I had never heard of the TV show called ’suits’ and most Brits probably hadn’t before Meghan turned up. But does that mean she was a Z-listed or rags-to-riches story? NO. Many in the UK today have never heard of ’Seinfeld’. But automatically, she had to be a gold-digger. None of us had heard of Kate Middleton nor the Middletons, wealthy as they are, prior to her showing up with William. But she couldn’t possibly be in it for anything else other than love (which is perhaps true) why? because society just assumes an American divorcee who is an actress on a show we haven’t heard of, cannot possibly be in it for love. Had to be a gold-digger, a manipulator. We immediately and conveniently forgot Harry’s past steely resolve and single-mindedness that previously made him the darling of the masses. Now he is just that easily manipulated empty head that the Meghan puppet-master has been able to twist around her little finger. Very convenient indeed.

But what is most shocking, is the way this convenient and very deliberate narrative has been allowed to build-up. And to what end exactly? What conclusion are people hoping for exactly? And why should such a conclusion be pleasurable to any decent human being?

The unrelenting hounding…

What exact ending is being sought?

You look at Meghan’s family; they all thought they had an average actress sister, of whom they were mildly jealous, but just as we feel, when we see a very nice car and a footballer pops out of it and you breath a sigh of relief, because you would hate for it to me any day-to-day hardworking person like yourself, but are ok with it being a footballer or a golfer. But suddenly, she pops up into super-stardom by landing a prince (and not just any prince, and English one..), and the rush of envy was just too much for them to bear. Why couldn’t it have been me her half-sister thought? Forgetting she never even made it as far as ‘suits’. And what has followed, with all the telltales and harmful stories have been nothing short of horrifying. I am sure that if Meghan’s kids ever sent a Christmas card to these vile creatures, their very first thought would be how to use it to get on a TV show or sell yet another story. While some blame the press for sniffing around and motivating them, I do not think the press forced any of these vile creatures into deciding the path to take with their horrifying stories and attempt to paint Meghan as an evil, manipulative creature – that was all driven by ENVY. Period. Now, let us assume Meghan is everything they say she is, and worse. Let us assume she is evil, manipulative, a gold-digger etc., well, Harry has made his bed, so, why not just let him find it all out on his own? What exactly do one get from ”I told you so?’. The behaviour of the Markle family towards Meghan, is just unimaginably deplorable. There is absolutely nothing, NOTHING she could have done to her Father, her half-sister and half-brother, to justify any of their action or words. Not including them in her life? feeling better than them? not inviting them to her wedding? turning her nose up at them? taking their money? I mean, none of those actions justify any of the stuff they have been putting out there about her. The entire saga just goes to show exactly how low human beings and society at large, can descend

Even those who have for years voiced their opposition to having a monarchy this day and age, suddenly jumped on the bandwagon of calling out a supposed social-climber in Meghan.

She’s a social climber. So what? How many of those criticising that would have turned down the same opportunity?????

Could she and should she have sat down to better understand (instead of stupidly thinking she is now here to sort it all out! just like most of the twitter-generation think they can sort out the past, knock statues down and make every past wrong right) what our monarchy is all about? should she have kept her head down and accepted that once you decide to opt in, you need to observe the rules, the etiquettes, the tradition? YES, YES and YES. But nothing she has done or will do, and no matter how things end for her, justify the envy-fuelled hate and nastiness that has been visited on her by all and sundry. No human being deserves that. I truly hope all parties will shortly calm the hell down. That she will get off her high horse and adjust to what being part of the british royal family requires (for the sake of her wellbeing and her kids) and that her horrid family will just melt away or at least stop talking about her (we’ve all heard enough) and that the rest of society find something else to fixate on (and yes, that cuts both ways).. Nobody decent stands to gain anything from this relentless hounding of Meghan…

….. but anyone with half a brain will know why this will never abate. MONEY! clicks, tweets, press coverage….. this has become pure gold and were she (Meghan) to become a nun and move into a remote nunnery somplace, people will still find stuff to say and print and sell. Her father will say she is a fake, insincere nun and pictures of her shaking hands with the devil when she was 2 years old will be leaked. There is never going to be an end to this…..

Just think about this for a minute: even if Meghan was the greatest lying schemer the world has ever seen, does that make her immune to mental health impacts, when you have your Father going out there spouting all sorts about your life and saying you are fake and horrible. That is in itself, enough to cause anyone (regardless of how tough and evil you are) mental health issues. BUT the minute she raises the issue, out pop the trolls again, claiming she is pretending and she could not possibly have any mental health stress because the superhuman power that liars have, is impervious. Seriously??!!! Society is truly finished! Hate has definitely won (at least at present). Pathetic really!!
