A sharp editorial by journalist Maureen Callahan claims that Meghan Markle has reached “a trashy new low” and alleges that Prince William has begun orchestrating a looming “ultimate humiliation.” The commentary suggests that Meghan’s recent actions mirror the image of a high-profile celebrity brand, rather than a working royal.
Callahan writes that Markle’s shift toward celebrity-style platforms and commercial ventures signals a departure from traditional royal expectations. She points to lingering tensions stemming from the earlier handling of the Sussexes’ roles within the British Royal Family and notes that William, now heir to the throne, may be preparing for a stronger response once he ascends to the throne.
While no official palace action has been announced, the piece highlights growing scrutiny around titles, public image and the role of royals in the modern media age. Markle has yet to respond to the claims, and royal observers expect the debate to intensify in the coming months.
