This segment from The Sun follows a predictable, biased pattern of coverage regarding Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, relying heavily on speculation, selective framing, and double standards rather than factual reporting. Here are the key flaws in the discussion:
1. Baseless Claims of “The Meghan Show”
The commentators claim that Meghan “muscles in” and makes events about herself, despite the fact that she was there supporting Harry at an event he founded. There is no actual evidence that she was trying to “overshadow” him—on the contrary, Invictus Games coverage largely focused on Harry. The idea that Meghan’s presence automatically steals attention says more about media bias than about her actions.
2. Manufactured Drama Around Meghan Leaving Early
The speculation that Meghan’s early departure from the event indicates trouble in their relationship is a non-story. She has done this before to be with their children, and Harry himself stayed behind to continue his work with Invictus. Yet, the discussion attempts to present it as an eyebrow-raising moment, ignoring the perfectly logical reason for her departure. If anything, this framing seems designed to fuel divorce rumors rather than report facts.
3. Contradictory Take on PDA
The commentators contradict themselves by questioning why Meghan and Harry were displaying affection. If they had been distant, it would have been framed as evidence of a failing marriage. Because they were affectionate, it is spun as an attempt to overcompensate for rumored trouble. This no-win scenario is a hallmark of unfair media treatment, where Meghan and Harry’s actions are framed negatively no matter what they do.
4. Meghan’s Instagram Is Overanalyzed
The discussion about Meghan’s return to Instagram is another example of unnecessary speculation. Her account was always expected to be personal and reflective of her work, yet the panel attempts to paint a false narrative of a “PR scramble.” The idea that Meghan is shifting her branding solely in response to past PR issues is an assumption without evidence. It ignores that she has always carefully curated her public image.
5. Unsubstantiated “Professional Separation” Claims
The talk of Harry and Meghan’s “split working arrangements” attempts to hint at deeper separation, but there is no concrete evidence of this. Harry and Meghan continue to work on projects together, including their Archewell initiatives, yet the commentators latch onto the idea of separation without acknowledging that many couples also pursue individual projects.
6. The Royal WhatsApp Group Speculation is Gossip Disguised as News
The mention of a royal family WhatsApp group is purely speculative and meant to entertain rather than inform. The commentators make assumptions about who has “fallen off” without actual knowledge, further fueling division. This is a textbook example of how royal reporting often blurs the line between journalism and gossip.
Final Thoughts: A Tired and Predictable Narrative
The discussion follows the usual tabloid-style approach to Harry and Meghan:
- Overanalyzing trivial details (like Meghan’s departure)
- Projecting motives onto their actions (like claiming she wants attention)
- Applying double standards (criticizing PDA while using absence of PDA as proof of issues)
- Speculating without evidence (suggesting professional separation/divorce)
This type of coverage adds nothing of value to the conversation but feeds an ongoing media cycle designed to portray Meghan in a negative light. If the goal were actual analysis, the discussion would include context, fair reporting, and evidence-based conclusions. Instead, it’s another example of manufactured controversy and biased royal commentary.
