How Meghan Markle’s Life Became ‘Significantly More Challenging’ Because Of Queen Mother

The Queen Mother has been dead for over a decade, but she is still being linked to Meghan Markle. A royal expert recently said that it’s because of Queen Elizabeth II’s mom that the Duchess of Sussex’s life has become significantly more challenging.

While speaking with 9News Australia, royal correspondent Victoria Arbiter said that Prince Harry’s wife has been left unprotected by the royal family due to the Queen Mother’s well-known mantra. When she was still alive, she came up with the rule of never complaining and never explaining.

“I think, really, she [Meghan] is doing incredibly well. It’s very difficult when you come from a celebrity background where a publicist can stand up for you or come out and say, ‘no, that report is categorically untrue…’ But generally speaking, members of the public follow Queen Mother’s well-worn mantra: ‘Never complain, never explain,’” she said.

As a result, the members of the royal family are forced to sit back while the public posts their harsh comments on social media and elsewhere. According to Arbiter, Markle was criticized a couple of times during this week alone.

The new mom was slammed for not losing her post-baby weight as quickly as Kate Middleton lost hers after her three pregnancies. Markle was also slammed after her protection officers reportedly urged the public to stop taking photos of the royal.

“She has been damned either way, from the moment she married in. And the fact that she’s still showing up, still smiling, still interacting with members of the public, shows that she really does have nerves of steel,” the royal expert said.

Arbiter also acknowledged the fact that things might be difficult for the “Suits” alum behind the scenes. And her American supporters think that not much has been done to protect their idol from the constant criticisms.

The royal expert concluded that Markle needs to given time to blossom and to let her do her job as a member of the British clan.
