Meghan Markle slapped square in the face: ‘You haven't earned anything Meghan so just drop it!’

Meghan Markle’s obsession with the royal brand and name has just been put on blast

Published May 11, 2026

Meghan Markle’s near palpable desperation to be known as a royal has once again been pointed out, and in the eyes of Showbiz reporter Fran Winston its not just the title she's obsessed with, instead she's more so obsessed with the “cash grab that she can make off it.”

She also said on her Express UK piece, “and I think you're seeing with these faux royal tours, the way that she wants to foray back into the royal family, but in a way that she can have her cake and eat it too.”

She also didn’t end there and instead launched another slap in the face of ‘Meghan Sussex’ by saying, “as I've always said, they are gig economy Royals, where they want to work three days a week and then float back into California when it suits them and coast off those royal titles, whereas that's not what being a royal is about at all. It's about service.”

Moreover “it's about dignity and respect for your nation,” she also said “and about diplomacy,” which she feels the king displayed in Washington for his State Visit.

Before signing off she also went a bit more candid in her bashing and said, “I think it is a really, really trashy ploy. And the fact that she wants to be called Princess Meghan again...well, you haven't earned that Meghan, so just drop it. It's never going to be you.”
