UPDATED JANUARY 18th, 2025:

1. Overly Personal Critiques:
   • Comments like calling Harry her “lapdog husband” or referring to Meghan’s supposed inability to “entertain” come across as needlessly mean-spirited. This detracts from any legitimate points about the quality of her projects or her strategy.
   • The focus on Meghan’s family estrangements and her father’s health feels more like a moral indictment rather than a relevant critique of her work.
2. Catty Undertones:
   • The repeated mocking of mundane topics, like ice cubes with edible flowers, feels excessive. While these may not appeal to everyone, dismissing them outright as “deathly dull” ignores the fact that lifestyle content, no matter how niche, has a proven audience.
   • Referring to her as “the princess of plagiarism” or laughing at her efforts to “elevate ordinary things” veers into a tone that feels unproductive and more like gossip than analysis.
3. Double Standards:
   • Criticizing Meghan for returning to Instagram after initially stepping away from social media feels inconsistent. Many public figures adjust their strategies as their careers evolve. It’s hypocritical to lambast her for using the platform to promote her projects when that’s standard practice for any creator or celebrity.
   • The insinuation that Meghan should somehow keep track of all royal family dynamics and tailor her actions accordingly is unrealistic and unfair. The expectation that she should delay her projects or tailor her public presence based on every global or familial event places an unmanageable burden on her.
4. Lack of Constructive Criticism:
   • While it’s fair to critique the timing of her announcements or question the originality of her content, the commentary rarely offers thoughtful insights into how she might improve or connect better with audiences. Instead, it’s a parade of ridicule without much substance.
5. Dismissive of Her Audience:
   • Assuming Meghan’s projects have no value ignores the fact that millions of people might resonate with her content. The commentators’ derision of “middle-class white women” enjoying lifestyle content feels dismissive and out of touch with how such shows find their niche.

The Bigger Picture:

It’s one thing to critique Meghan’s projects, timing, or public strategy, but it’s another to engage in commentary that feels more focused on tearing her down than fostering genuine discussion. Whether or not someone likes her is irrelevant—what matters is whether her projects succeed with her intended audience. The cattiness and personal tone in the transcript overshadow any legitimate points, reducing the discussion to tabloid-level mudslinging rather than thoughtful critique.
