Meghan Markle’s Guest Appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show Sparks Controversy

Meghan Markle found herself at the center of attention once again, this time due to a mix-up surrounding her guest appearance on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show.

Initially slated to feature on the NBC program at the end of September to promote her podcast Archetypes, the appearance was canceled out of respect for the late Queen who had passed away earlier that month.

However, on Monday, an announcement on NBC's website indicated Meghan would be a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on December 7th.

The news stirred immediate reactions, with royal critic Omid Scobie swiftly debunking the claim, suggesting that someone at NBC had missed the mark.

Despite widespread announcements through various PR channels, it was clarified that Meghan was not scheduled to appear on the show as initially reported.

An NBC representative addressed the confusion, stating that Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, would not be making an appearance on December 7th.

Royal commentator Neil Sean weighed in on the situation, expressing skepticism about Meghan's alleged desire to be the sole guest on the show.

He questioned the rationale behind such a request, implying that Meghan might overestimate her star power.

Sean further speculated that Meghan's appearance could be a ploy to boost her podcast's rankings, which had seen a decline in popularity.

As discussions unfolded around Meghan's public image, polls conducted over the past couple of years reflected a fluctuating sentiment towards the Sussexes.

Commentator Kristen Tait highlighted a recent poll indicating a sharp decline in Meghan's popularity in the US, attributing it to her perceived behavior and public statements.

Tait noted a shift in American sentiment towards Meghan, with many now viewing her actions and criticisms of the royal family unfavorably.

The sentiment echoed across the Atlantic, with Tait mentioning that a significant portion of the UK population welcomed Meghan and Harry's departure from royal duties.

Notably, an earlier YouGov poll revealed a notable drop in Meghan's favorability ratings in the US, coupled with confusion among Americans regarding the couple's retention of royal titles despite stepping back from official roles within the monarchy.

The evolving public perception of Meghan Markle continues to spark debates and scrutiny, underscoring the challenges faced by high-profile figures navigating public scrutiny and media attention.

Amidst the controversies and speculations surrounding Meghan's appearances and statements, the broader implications on her reputation and public image remain subjects of ongoing analysis and discussion.
