Meghan Markle ‘sacrificed’ her brain to take ‘Deal or No Deal’ opportunity

Meghan Markle apparently sacrificed her intellect to take on an opportunity when it presented itself with Deal or No Deal, according to a royal expert after the Duchess slammed the gig in her Spotify podcast.

The Duchess of Sussex’s comments on the previous episode of Archetypes made headlines for all the wrong reasons, with many industry insiders coming out to slam her for putting down a job that put her on screen.

Adding to the criticism, Ulrika Jonsson wrote in The Sun, “Whatever Meghan wants to argue were the motivations of the show’s producers, these were roles created for whichever woman wanted to step up to the plate and grab the opportunity. And that’s exactly what it was: an opportunity.”

“She may not want to admit it, but Meghan clearly saw it as one and was willing to sacrifice her overwhelming cerebral capabilities to be seen on screen and take her chances,” Jonsson further said.

“If she’s so smart, clever, wise and savvy, why did she not object at the time to her own perception of what she would be representing and what she would be viewed as?” the royal commentator questioned.

Jonsson then presented her own answer, writing, “She didn’t because she had ambition burning a hole in her principles and she was quite willing to use that role as a steppingstone to bigger and better things.”
