Meghan Markle Failing To Meet ‘Unconscious Expectations’ Amid Most Vulnerable State

Meghan Markle is reportedly struggling to meet the unconscious expectations of royal fans who have negative biases about the Duchess of Sussex. And this is one of the reasons why Prince Harry’s wife is being criticized by the public day in and day out.

While speaking with Express, global success coach Jaimie Sarah said that Markle is experiencing cognitive resonance, which makes the public resistant towards her. Royal fans have also been keen on overanalyzing the royal’s every move.

According to Sarah, the fact that Markle is not English and she was a former actress in the United States, more information about her past has already been made known to the world.

But after Archie’s mom wed Prince Harry, she became an English Duchess. The public has created a certain image in their minds of how an English Duchess should act and how she should look like. Markle obviously doesn’t fit the mold.

“Some are experiencing what’s known as ‘cognitive dissonance’ that translates into resistance towards her and then into judgment. Most people will have no idea this is happening behind the scenes of their minds, and no conscious ill will towards her, they simply have unconscious bias and unconscious expectations that aren’t being met,” Sarah said.

The coach also said that what’s happening to the Duchess of Sussex is a shame because she’s actually an incredible woman who’s doing her best. And what’s worse, the public’s unconscious bias towards the “Suits” alum got even worse during Markle’s most vulnerable time: after her son’s birth.

“Motherhood is the most vulnerable time of a woman’s life - but it’s also when a woman steps fully into her superpowers. Those who are high achieving and manage to juggle competing priorities alongside motherhood can be perceived as very intimidating by many, especially anyone who has experienced or witnessed motherhood not looking so ‘flawless’ on the outside as Meghan’s does,” she said.
