Meghan Markle Faces Unlikely Criticism from Loyal Supporter Ahmed Scobie

In a surprising turn of events, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has found herself under fire from one of her staunchest supporters, journalist Ahmed Scobie.

Known for his sympathetic portrayal of Meghan and Prince Harry in the biography Finding Freedom, Scobie has recently urged the couple to let go of their fixation on royal titles.

His comments come on the heels of the launch of their new website, Sussex.com, which prominently features their royal titles and crests.

Unveiled just this past Monday, Sussex.com is described as the official online office for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The site showcases the couple's latest news, activities, and achievements, while also highlighting their charitable endeavors and media projects.

However, the website's debut has not been without controversy.

Royal fans and commentators have reacted strongly, accusing Meghan and Harry of hypocrisy and desperation.

Critics have pointed out that when they stepped back from their senior roles within the royal family in 2020, the couple had agreed to cease using their royal titles and patronages.

Many feel that by prominently displaying these titles on their new platform, they are undermining that agreement.

Among the critics, Ahmed Scobie's voice stands out, especially given his history of defending the couple.

Taking to Twitter, he expressed his exasperation over the backlash regarding the website.

He remarked on how the simple homepage had led to an avalanche of negative commentary, suggesting that those criticizing it were simply bored.

“Move on, touch grass, find an interesting story; this is all so tediously boring,” he tweeted, a phrase that quickly attracted attention.

Scobie's tweet resonated with over 2,000 users but also sparked a wave of sarcastic responses.

Many users accused him of hypocrisy, questioning his loyalty to Meghan and Harry and suggesting that he had benefited from the very drama he now seemed to downplay.

Comments ranged from mocking his choice of words to outright challenging his credibility as a journalist.

One user quipped, “Wow, Ahmed, you've really changed your tune.

What happened?

Did they stop paying you?” Others echoed similar sentiments, implying that Scobie had become disingenuous, having built his career on the couple's story.

The backlash against his stance only intensified, with some labeling him a “sycophant” and a “parasite.”

Despite the flurry of criticism, Scobie has remained silent, not responding to any of the negative comments or further discussing the website or the couple.

His tweet has undeniably added fuel to the ongoing debate surrounding Meghan and Harry's website, which continues to attract media attention.

Meanwhile, Meghan and Harry, who reside in a luxurious $14 million mansion in California with their two children, Archie and Lilibet, have yet to issue a statement addressing the backlash.

A spokesperson for the couple did clarify that the website was created to provide accurate information about their work and engagements, and not as a reaction to any external pressures.

The spokesperson emphasized that Meghan and Harry hold the royal family in high regard and hope to maintain a collaborative relationship moving forward.

This statement seems aimed at quelling rumors of a rift, even as the couple faces mounting scrutiny over their actions and choices.

As the situation unfolds, it raises questions about the couple's future engagement with their royal identities and the public's perception of their endeavors.

With voices from both supporters and critics weighing in, the dialogue surrounding Sussex.com is far from over.
