Why Meghan Markle can never do anything right, which is sad

Come on, stick your head above the parapet. Just see what happens. Become world-famous in a short time. Be that tall tree. Feel how it blows up there. It can only mean one thing: you get crap thrown at you. Because jealousy is a bitch.

Becoming famous because you do what you're good at for years: like, becoming a media hype as a cruise missile and suddenly being the talk of the town? Nah, we can't handle that. Look at Famke Louise. People don't like someone who is ‘suddenly’ there. We need a bit of lead time. Meghan, it's not your fault, it's sad but true: people are not generous. You also have to be likable, otherwise we quickly find you annoying.

Coverage of a fourth trip on a private jet in eleven days doesn't help either. Meghan and Harry came under fire this week because they flew to Elton's estate in Nice on a private jet. The British press jumped on it and painted the two as hypocrites to the max because they do advocate for measures to protect the environment. That Elton John offered them the flight and chose to make it CO2-neutral because of Harry's commitment to the climate, the press doesn't write about that, because you obviously don't nuance your own juicy story.

The stars are also fed up with the nasty reporting about Meghan. ‘Prince Harry's mother, Princess Diana, was one of my dearest friends. I feel obligated to protect Harry and his family from the press, which contributed to Diana's premature death,’ Elton John wrote. Ellen DeGeneres also feels compelled to respond. ‘Portia and I met Prince Harry and Meghan in England to talk about their commitment to nature. They were incredibly down-to-earth, empathetic people. Just imagine how it must feel to be attacked for everything you do while you're just trying to make the world a better place.’

Singer P!nk also speaks up. ‘The way people treat her is the most public form of bullying I've seen in a long time. It's beyond all limits. Can't we all just be a little kinder? We need to show our children that it's cool to be nice.’

And that's just how it is.
