Meghan Markle’s Web of Deceit: A Closer Look at the Allegations
The saga surrounding Meghan Markle continues to unfold, with royal author Tom Bauer shedding light on a series of allegations regarding her past.
According to Bauer, Meghan's penchant for embellishing the truth began early in her life and has persisted throughout her journey to royalty.
He asserts that her obsession with becoming a princess started in childhood, evidenced by a memorable video of her as a young girl.
In it, Meghan is seen sitting on a red blanket, adorned with a gold crown, instructing her friends to bow and refer to her as “your royal highness.”
This moment reportedly stemmed from her fascination with Princess Diana's fairy tale narrative.
Bauer's claims extend to Meghan's first marriage to Trevor Engelson.
He alleges that Meghan misled her mother, Doria Ragland, about the reasons for their split, suggesting she painted Engelson as unkind.
This information supposedly came from Thomas Markle, Meghan's father, who relayed it to Doria during their daughter's marital troubles.
Such assertions raise questions about the authenticity of Meghan's narratives surrounding her personal relationships.
The discrepancies in Meghan's storytelling appear to have roots in her acting career as well.
For years, she was categorized as Caucasian, with her biracial heritage only surfacing later in her public persona.
This change in narrative is reminiscent of a childhood incident where her father instructed her to draw a box for a school project that lacked a mixed-race option.
These early experiences seem to have laid the groundwork for the mistruths that would emerge in her adult life.
Bauer suggests that Meghan's fabrications began to unravel even before her much-discussed interview with Oprah Winfrey.
During a tour in South Africa, she claimed ignorance about tabloid culture, despite its ubiquity across the globe.
Such statements have led many to question the veracity of her claims about her upbringing.
For instance, Meghan has often portrayed herself as having grown up in poverty, recounting tales of subsisting on a meager budget at a $5 salad bar.
Yet, Bauer contends that her father funded her college education, contradicting her narrative of financial struggle.
Critics have not held back in voicing their opinions on Meghan and Prince Harry's recent complaints about their lives.
Michael Moynihan, a host on the Fifth Column podcast, expressed his frustration, arguing that the couple has had every advantage handed to them.
He pointed out the irony of their victim narrative, given their luxurious lifestyle, including a $40 million home in Montecito.
Moynihan's remarks highlight the disconnect between their grievances and their privileged circumstances.
The criticism intensified following the release of a trailer for the Sussexes' Netflix series.
Megyn Kelly, another vocal critic, labeled Meghan and Harry as “narcissistic jerks,” questioning the authenticity of their claims.
She used air quotes when referring to the series, expressing skepticism about its classification as a documentary.
Kelly highlighted a particular clip where Meghan stated, “Everything changed” after joining the royal family, mocking the implications of such a statement.
Kelly's disdain for the couple was palpable as she dissected their actions, suggesting that their behavior towards other royals was less than gracious.
She accused them of bullying palace members and constantly complaining when the media coverage didn't align with their expectations.
The narrative of Meghan and Harry as perpetual victims seems to clash with the reality of their situation, prompting further scrutiny.
