Meghan Markle has set the royal world on fire with an audacious quote that’s giving everyone something to talk about.
Now, in a new interview, the Duchess of Sussex said that she might one day become a queen because she “has what it takes” and “deserves” it. She’s got all the attributes of a real queen,” sending fans, critics, and members of the royal family into hysterics.
Meghan, 44, expressed it from her home in California. “I have the strength, grace, and heart to lead,” she said. “It has nothing to do with wanting power—it has to do with having earned it through the rough and tumble of life.”
The allegation follows bitter royal battles, including Queen Camilla’s sensational comments about Prince Harry’s parentage and Kate Middleton’s new role as queen. Meghan believes her woes, from shuns at the palace to real-life afterlife outside of family, make her analogous to a queen.
But not everyone agrees. Social media has gone into meltdown with the hashtag #MeghanQueen trending. Critics are incensed, commenting, “She left the royals—now she wants a crown? Dream on!”
Some describe it as “jealousy” when Kate outshone her at a big event. Royal watchers say it’s a swipe at Kate, who is beloved for her kindness. “Meghan’s traits? Drama and demands,’ one tweet quipped.
Fans are split too. Her supporters holler, “She’s strong like Diana—go for it!” But others laugh, “Queen? She couldn’t even curtsy right!” The royal family is upset. King Charles, who’s still unwell, is “hurt,” while William and Kate are “mad,” thinking this is yet another attack.
Buckingham Palace hasn’t uttered a word, but insiders whisper that this could spell the end of any prospect of Harry and Meghan coming back.
Is Meghan dreaming big, or just being a troublemaker? Between raging battles like Harry’s demand for respect and Camilla’s ban on Charlotte, the family is in such a mess.
Fans are holding out for some sort of truce, but this queen’s claim feels more like a crown of thorns. The whole world is watching to see if Meghan backs down or stands tall.
