Meghan Markle: A Royal Snub at the Gladiator 2 Premiere
Meghan Markle's disdain for poor lighting is well-documented, but her real pet peeve appears to be missing out on high-profile events.
The latest incident unfolded during the premiere of “Gladiator 2” on November 13 in London's illustrious Leicester Square.
While Hollywood luminaries like Pedro Pascal and Denzel Washington graced the event with their presence, Meghan and Prince Harry were notably absent, raising eyebrows and sparking discussions about a potential snub.
Despite her frequent complaints about negative media coverage and being the subject of unfounded rumors, Meghan often adopts a victim mentality.
It's time for a reality check: everyone faces gossip, not just her.
In her view, every challenge seems to stem from her battle as a misunderstood member of royalty against the British press—and now, it appears, Hollywood too.
The premiere itself was a dazzling affair.
Fans flocked to catch a glimpse of the charming Pedro Pascal and the legendary Denzel Washington.
A delightful moment caught on camera showcased Washington joyfully engaging with fans right before security nudged him to head inside due to King Charles's arrival.
Denzel's playful response, “I'll make my own rules,” only added to the excitement, although he eventually complied and went in to greet the king, as any polite guest would.
However, social media, particularly Twitter, turned this lighthearted encounter into a battleground of exaggerated narratives.
Some gossip accounts claimed that Denzel had snubbed the monarch, when in fact, he was simply taking his time.
This misinterpretation fueled the fervor among Meghan's supporters, who celebrated any perceived slight against the royal family as a triumph for her cause.
Meghan's fanbase, known for its passionate advocacy, often thrives on misinformation and divisive narratives.
They consistently paint the royal family as out-of-touch villains while ignoring their own contradictions.
It seems they are quick to frame issues through a racial lens, even as the world grapples with more pressing concerns.
Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan advocate for kindness and safe spaces but remain conspicuously silent about the toxic behavior exhibited by some of their most ardent followers.
If there were an award for grifting, the Sussexes and their supporters would be front-runners without a doubt.
It's quite bold of Meghan to believe she deserves a spot on Hollywood's A-list.
After leaving the UK, the couple didn't exactly receive a warm embrace from Tinseltown.
Meghan's expectations of shining at every major event and landing significant roles have clashed with the harsh reality of her limited success.
Ridley Scott, at the age of 86, continues to deliver box-office hits like “Gladiator 2,” while Meghan's filmography remains disappointingly sparse.
In contrast, Pedro Pascal, merely six years her junior, is thriving in the industry, adored for his authenticity and talent.
Meanwhile, Meghan's much-touted projects, such as “Pearl” and a cooking show, have seemingly disappeared without a trace.
The British royal family still holds essential connections to the UK's cultural scene.
Recently, King Charles and Queen Camilla celebrated the centenary of the film and TV charity at Buckingham Palace, mingling with influential figures in the industry.
This is what class looks like—showing up, being gracious, and supporting the arts rather than making every red carpet a personal platform.
Meghan has seemingly overestimated her ability to outshine Buckingham Palace, believing she could eclipse the royal family's glamour and influence.
Yet, her attempts to stay relevant only highlight her miscalculations.
She has found herself in a precarious position, where neither Hollywood nor the UK seems to have a place for her.
