But as usual, the British
tabloid press remained laser-focused on their favorite punching bag during the
ceremony — a woman who has been under even greater scrutiny than usual these
past two weeks.
Meghan and her husband Prince
Harry stepped down from their roles as senior members of the royal family back
in 2020, but since last Thursday, the couple has been performing their official
duties along with the rest of the Windsor clan.
But the press and the British
public have nonetheless seized every opportunity to remind the Duchess
exactly what they think of her.
Mourners refused to shake
Meghan’s hand as she greeted the crowds outside of Windsor Castle.
The press gave credence to an
asinine rumor about Meghan secretly recording memorial services for
an upcoming Netflix reality show.
Meghan and Harry were
criticized for holding hands during one appearance, even though other
Windsor couples behaved in the exact same fashion.
While there was hope that the
notorious UK tabloid press would ease off of Meghan for a few days in the wake
of the Queen’s death, they instead doubled down on their criticism, as
evidenced by the following headlines:
“Australian senator brands
Meghan Markle a ‘horrible human’ with a ‘terrible influence on Prince Harry’
and declares they are ‘awful, revolting people’ in an extraordinarily scathing
live TV rant”
“Meghan’s new favorite
magazine ‘The Cut’ launches vicious attack on father-in-law King Charles for
being a ‘big, fussy baby and a jerk to his staff’ as he mourns loss of beloved
mother, Queen Elizabeth II”
