Lady Colin Campbell has built a reputation for making herself part of the Meghan Markle conversation by delivering exaggerated claims that always frame Meghan as a villain. Her latest comments fit this pattern perfectly. She suggests Meghan has been privately complaining that Taylor Swift deliberately timed her new album announcement to overshadow the trailer for With Yuck. According to Lady C, Meghan is furious that attention she supposedly expected to receive was stolen by the world’s biggest pop star. As usual, there is no source. She is told, by whom Lady Colin?

This is not only implausible, it is ridiculous. Taylor Swift is one of the most successful entertainers alive, and her release schedule is planned months in advance with global marketing in mind. Taylor Swift does not time her projects around Meghan. She does not see Meghan as a rival. She does not need to. Yet Lady C presents the idea as fact, using it as a springboard to portray Meghan as paranoid, delusional, and desperate for attention.

From there the attack spirals. Lady C claims Meghan is talentless, shallow, and manipulative. She claims Meghan is losing her looks and aging badly. She claims aristocrats and royal friends are laughing at her and hoping Harry will leave her. She even insists Meghan is angry that William and Kate might move to Forest Lodge, a house in Windsor Great Park. Each point follows the same formula. Lady C asserts an unverified rumor and then dresses it up with sneers, insults, and character assassination.

This is not journalism. It is not analysis. It is a carefully crafted narrative designed to feed an audience that has already made up its mind about Meghan. It plays into old stereotypes of the ambitious outsider who is never quite good enough. It flatters the royals while turning Meghan into a cartoon villain. It is not about truth but about entertainment for those who want to see Meghan dragged at every opportunity.

The reality is that Meghan is not competing with Taylor Swift. She is not competing with William and Kate. She is not checking housing arrangements in Windsor from her home in Montecito. Meghan has moved on with her life, raising two children, developing her creative projects, and building her foundation with Harry. She is no longer a working royal and has not been for years. The obsession lies not with Meghan but with those who cannot accept that she stepped away and is still making headlines. Meghan is well on her way to become a self made multi billionaire from As Ever.

If anything, Lady C’s commentary reveals more about her than it does Meghan. It shows bitterness. It shows a refusal to see Meghan as anything other than an object of ridicule. It shows how far critics will go to keep her in the negative spotlight, even if it means pushing conspiracy-level claims about Taylor Swift plotting against her.

The constant attacks on Meghan are not about her supposed vanity or opportunism. They are about the fear that she continues to matter without the Royal Family’s stamp of approval. Lady C and others like her cannot stand that Meghan continues to exist on her own terms, outside of the palace walls, with a global platform that reaches far beyond the control of the British tabloids.

In the end, Lady C’s rant says far more about the desperation of Meghan’s critics than it does about Meghan herself.
