Meghan Markle risks being a ‘hypocrite’ with latest move – but must ‘resist temptation’

Meghan Markle has landed herself in hot water again after speaking about bullying during one of her recent appearances, just weeks after allegations of the same nature were made against her.

The Duchess of Sussex stepped out in Santa Barbara earlier this month to visit a youth organisation called Girl Inc where she spoke to teenage girls about being “one of the most bullied people in the world”.

Her visit aimed to highlight the teens’ experience of growing up in the digital age and help with the launch of a new digital-wellness programme called Social Media U, which is brought by Girls Inc. in partnership with non-profit organisation #HalfTheStory, however, much of the attention was drawn to the duchess’s comment about bullying.

Meghan’s claim came weeks after the latest “Duchess Difficult” drama which saw a number of current and former members of staff making a series of allegations against her and her behaviour towards them.

Now a royal author suggested that, even though the duchess has received harsh criticism since marrying Prince Harry, she risks being called a “hypocrite” with her latest move.

Christopher Andersen, author of The King, told Fox News: “In fairness, since marrying Prince Harry, she has been on the receiving end of some pretty scalding criticism – some of it legitimate, but much of it not.

“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.”

He added that there is “nothing wrong” with Meghan empathising with young girls who must deal with online bullying but urged the duchess to “resist the temptation to make it all about her.”

Following the media storm sparked by the latest comments, sources, went on to clarify to the New York Post that Meghan “talked about her experience with online bullying but never claimed she was the most bullied person in the world.”
