Meghan Markle given a tough reality check amid recent ridicule: Famous for being infamous

Markle and her husband Prince Harry left the UK in 2020

A British royal family columnist has delivered fierce criticism of Meghan Markle amid speculation that the Duchess of Sussex misses certain elements of her “old life” — prior to her marriage to Prince Harry.

Markle’s potential political ambitions could prove to be a headache for the royals, but some believe that the former actress misses her days on the set of “Suits.” Some believe that Harry and Meghan‘s gamble — moving to the United States and launching a media empire — has backfired, and one columnist in the Express believes the Duchess has become nothing more than a “hustler” who has been abandoned by her friends in show business.

Markle described as a “two-bit hustler”

Columnist Julie Burchill, writing in the Express on Sunday, has labeled Meghan as a “two-bit hustler with delusions of adequacy” in a devastating missive that shows just how far her reputation has fallen since she left royal duties in 2020. Harry and Meghan launched a podcast and several projects for Netflix after leaving the United Kingdom, but aside from Harry’s best-selling memoir “Spare,” Burchill believes “the world has moved on” from the couple.

One particularly damning moment for Meghan came when global pop superstar Taylor Swift took selfies with Harry’s brother William and two of his children — allegedly after turning down a chance to appear on Meghan’s “Archetypes” podcast in 2022. That has been viewed as another embarrassing turn of events for Meghan, with a further public black eye coming amid allegations of bullying her former staff.

For now, Meghan is not expected to make a serious push for a return to her “old life,” with Harry and two children of their own now in the fold. The 42-year-old is set to launch a new cooking show on Netflix, which she hopes will match the success of the “Harry and Meghan” docuseries from 2022.
