The calendars were showing the year 2020… Meghan Markle, the new bride of the British royal family, and Harry, the “prince of the years”, shook the world with the news that they would leave the senior royal family membership. Then they actually moved to Canada first and then to the USA.
‘A INDEPENDENT LIFE AWAY FROM THE ATTENTION OF THE PRESS’
Although numerous comments were made about these decisions, they declared that they “desired to establish a financially independent life away from excessive media attention”. While many thought they would rarely hear from them anymore, the opposite happened.
WOULD THEY GET THIS ATTENTION IF THEY STAYED IN LONDON? Prince Charles, the first heir to the British throne, and Prince Harry, the son of his ex-wife Princess Diana, and his wife, former American actress Meghan Markle, began to occupy the top of the agenda constantly. Contrary to expectations, the couple gathered the attention that they would never have seen if they stayed in London.
‘COUNTRY COUNTRY REJECTING THE WHOLE WORLD’
One of the last examples of this happened last week. Meghan Marklestarted a podcast series under a million-dollar deal with a digital streaming platform. The first guest of this talk about ‘ambitious women’ is the star of the tennis courts. Serena Williams it happened. Although the subject is different, the broadcast was marked by Meghan Markle’s criticisms of the British royal family and an event she told there: Guest Serena Williams was overshadowed. Here are the words she said in that broadcast that angered many South African people, she. It caused a campaign against Meghan Markle on social media. Many argued that “Meghan Markle single-handedly offended the whole world in turn, breaking the hearts of millions”.

Let’s remember the event. Meghan Markle featured “women who received bad reviews for greed” in her podcast Archetypes. He would also take action on this issue with champion tennis player Serena Williams. We’ll remember his critique of the British royal family during this time, but let’s take a look at why Markle angered South Africans because of this broadcast.
HE CLAIMED THAT HE HAS BEEN LIMITED BY THE FIRE
In that first broadcast, Markle recounted an incident during a trip to South Africa where they were representing the British royal family before leaving their posts. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also took their 4-month-old son, Archie, on that trip. Markle claimed that while Harry and she were at an event, little Archie was at the couple’s residence with his babysitter. Allegedly, the heater in the nursery where Archie slept suddenly caught fire. At that time, little Archie’s babysitter had also gone downstairs. So he didn’t know what was going on. Then, when one of the downstairs guards smelled the smoke, everyone rushed upstairs and Archie narrowly escaped the flames. In fact, Markle said that she was very scared because of this incident that she heard after returning to the residence, and that she had to continue her official duties even after such a situation.

It was this incident that Meghan Markle described that angered South Africans and caused a topic to be opened on social media. Many users argued that the event was not actually as Markle described. Already after her podcast broadcast, this issue came up again and it was claimed that Meghan Markle dramatized the events.
WHEN SMOKE OUT OF THE HEATER…
According to these allegations, the incident occurred on September 23, 2019, when Harry, Meghan and Archie were on a tour of South Africa. Archie was in the nursery at the residence when the couple went on an official mission. But the heater did not catch fire in the room, as he claimed. Smoke started to come out of the electric heater. When the officers pulled the plug, the problem was solved. So baby Archie didn’t survive a fire as he explained.
‘COMING HERE WAS THE BRAVE THING HE DID’
Users who argued that the event took place in this way and that Markle exaggerated wrote angry comments about the Duchess. “I really don’t care if there’s a fire or not. But, according to his statement, coming to South Africa was the bravest thing he’s ever done. It’s like going to an apocalypse,” wrote one user.

‘BREAKING THE HEART OF THE WHOLE WORLD’
Another user made the following striking comment: “Meghan alone, country by country, offending the whole world, breaking hearts.”
KATE ALSO TAKES HIS CHILDREN ON TRIP BUT…
Another user stated that Meghan Markle’s sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, took her children to countries such as Australia and New Zealand when they were small, but she did not have such problems. And then “Why can’t Meghan do this?” she asked. This user criticized Markle for using everything to draw attention to herself.
EVERY MOTHER WOULD FEEL LIKE
Some sources stated that this reaction of Meghan Markle was normal and commented, “Any mother would have been equally alarmed in her place.” In the meantime, it was stated that after the incident, another residence was prepared for the Sussex family, and Harry, Meghan and Archie went there and continued the tour.

‘NO EXPLANATION WAS MADE BECAUSE THE TOUR IS SHADED’
Another source speaking to the Daily Telegraph argued that making a statement about the fire hazard at the time and canceling an event where the couple spoke about racial discrimination could overshadow the royal tour.
Meghan Markle discussed “ambition” and “ambitious women” in her podcast broadcast where Serena Williams was a guest. Meghan Markle explained that at one point in the conversation, the society applied double standards to women who were described as “ambitious”. She then went on to say: “It turns out that a woman’s ambition is a terrible thing for some.” After a while, it turned out that these words were also a criticism of the British royal family.
‘I DID NOT FEEL NEGATIVE UNTIL I STARTED FLIRTING WITH HARRY’
During the chat, Markle recalled that she was also described as “ambitious” after she started dating Prince Harry. Meghan Markle dwelled on this issue for a long time. “There wasn’t a time when I felt the negative connotations behind the word ‘ambitious’ until I started flirting with my current husband,” said Markle, who still holds the title of Duchess of Sussex despite their separation from the family. Markle also talked about the pain she suffered behind closed doors because of this. He then continued: “Clearly, for some, it’s very bad for a woman to be ‘ambitious’. It’s really hard not to feel the negativity behind it.”

Markle, who made harsh words towards the British royal family in an interview with her husband, Prince Harry, to Oprah Winfrey in March this year, according to some comments, “punched” them this time. Here are the words Meghan Markle uttered in the first episode of her podcast, which again became the subject of criticism and discussion.
CLAIMED THAT HIS AMBITION WAS NOT WELCOME BY THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY
According to Markle’s words, the British royal family took a negative approach to her ambition. As a result, Meghan Markle suffered because of this “behind closed doors” when she felt this negativity.
HEAVY CRITICISM
Markle, who made harsh words towards the British royal family in an interview with her husband, Prince Harry, to Oprah Winfrey in March this year, according to some comments, “punched” them this time. Here are the words Meghan Markle uttered in the first episode of her podcast, which again became the subject of criticism and discussion. Levin described these words of Meghan Markle as “hypocrisy”. He then criticizes her heavily: “Meghan would have been a ‘starlet’ still trying to find fame if she hadn’t been married to a prince.”
Angela Levin claimed that she identifies herself with Serena Williams, who was a guest on Meghan Markle’s podcast, and her next guest, the famous singer Mariah Carey. He then continued his criticism: “However, they did clever things and overcame a difficult childhood. Whereas Meghan married a prince and spent a lot of money.”
‘SLAVE HARRY, PUNCH THE ROYAL FAMILY’
Levin’s criticism of Markle did not end there. The royal expert continued: “He thought that ambition was a normal thing. But then later when he started flirting with Harry, he found that it was not welcome.” Levin described Markle’s words, “I suffered behind closed doors because I was ambitious,” as “a slap in the face to her husband Harry,” a punch to the British royal family. He argued that he did not use this feeling to get to the fore or the top.
DIANA GAVE THE EXAMPLE
Another royal expert, Richard Fitzwilliams, also commented on Meghan Markle’s words on the podcast. Fitzwilliams argued that Meghan Markle felt “chosen” after she started dating Prince Harry. He then said: “He used to be ambitious and did well on Suits. But this isn’t a major league TV screen. Expert Fitzwilliams said it’s okay to have some ambitions as a member of the royal family. He argues that ambition is encouraged in the family to be helpful towards other people. Then she gave the example of Diana: “Diana was very ambitious about charity work. She has done great favors, she.”
