Meghan McCain Takes Aim at Meghan Markle Over Coronation Snub
In a fiery op-ed for the Daily Mail, Meghan McCain has unleashed a scathing critique of Meghan Markle, who opted to skip King Charles' coronation.
McCain argues that Markle's absence is less about celebrating her son Archie's birthday and more about avoiding an uncomfortable encounter with her in-laws.
The former television host suggests that Markle's decision is rooted in fear, given her history of making pointed remarks about the royal family.
McCain begins her piece by questioning Markle's sudden reluctance to be in the public eye.
She highlights the irony of a woman who once thrived on media attention now choosing to hide away.
“There are arguably a few people on earth more obsessed with seeing themselves on camera than Meghan Markle,” McCain writes, dismissing any notion that the Duchess would willingly pass up the chance to be in the spotlight.
The timing of Archie's birthday, which coincides with the coronation, has been cited as a reason for Markle's absence.
However, McCain and many royal watchers are skeptical.
They believe that the Sussexes may not even be celebrating with Archie in Montecito, raising questions about the authenticity of their claims.
“Harry and Meghan lied about everything,” one critic commented, pointing to the sealed birth certificate and discrepancies surrounding Archie's arrival.
The birth certificate has become a focal point of scrutiny, with critics questioning the details surrounding Archie's birth.
Reports suggest that Meghan altered her name on the document, opting to be identified solely as “Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Sussex,” rather than using her birth name, Rachel Meghan.
This change, made shortly after Archie's birth, has fueled speculation about her desire to distance herself from her past identity.
McCain argues that this alteration signifies Markle's intention to embrace her royal title while shedding her former self.
“She's not Rachel Meghan or even Meghan to herself anymore,” McCain asserts, emphasizing that Markle seems to prioritize her royal status above all else.
This shift in identity raises eyebrows, especially in light of her previous public persona.
The op-ed takes a sharper turn as McCain labels Markle's excuse for skipping the coronation as a “gallant effort at public relations spin.” She expresses disbelief that a Hollywood figure like Markle would genuinely choose to forego a high-profile event for a private birthday celebration.
“No one in their right mind believes Hollywood Meghan Markle is passing up a chance to peacock in front of the world,” she quips.
McCain's commentary also touches on the absurdity of the situation, suggesting that a preschooler wouldn't even grasp the significance of where a birthday is celebrated.
“A preschooler has no idea what country they're in,” she points out, questioning the rationale behind the Sussexes' choice.
