Meghan Markle portrayal as ‘witch’ on media defended by author

Meghan Markle has been reduced to a negative character in the Royal books, says an expert.

The Duchess of Sussex, who left the Royal family back in 2020 alongside husband Prince Harry, to start a new life in California, excited over being portrayed like a ‘witch.’

Royal expert Catherine Mayer tells Express: "My fear is that the world has learned very little indeed from Meghan's experience and that's another reason I wrote the book," Mayer shares. "As I say in it, you don't have to like her or watch her shows, but what on earth has she done to earn the hatred meted out to her?"

Mayer says: "Telling these negative stories about royal women, whipping up hostility towards them, has a long pedigree as my book shows, and it always goes badly not only for the women in question but for all women."

She continues: "It's a way of promoting reductive views of women as scheming seductresses or witches. In that respect, some stories about Meghan resemble those circulated about Anne Boleyn."
