Meghan Markle Faces Backlash from French Media Over Recent Outings

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been facing a lot of criticism lately, with the French media being particularly harsh towards the couple.

According to a British journalist, the latest cover of the popular French magazine Paris Match is scathing about the Sussexes, with one of the headlines reading, “Why Meghan Lied,” in reference to her recent apology for making a misleading statement in her privacy case against the Mail on Sunday's publishers.

Paris Match has a circulation of over 560,000 and more than 1.2 million followers on social media.

Its criticism of the Sussex Royals is significant, as the French media has been quite respectful towards them in the past.

British journalist Peter Allen claimed that its latest headlines are devastating.

The Sussexes have appeared on many previous covers of Paris Match, usually celebrating the development of their relationship together.

However, their public profiles are starting to change for the worse outside the UK too, according to Sun on Sunday political editor David Wooding.

Recently, Meghan Markle appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and participated in a prank video that split the internet.

Many people felt her behavior on the daytime talk show wasn't royal-esque and rather cringeworthy.

Anna Pasternak, a royal author who penned the book “The American Duchess, The Real Wallis Simpson,” believes Markle embarrassed the royal family and questioned why she keeps using her royal title despite stepping back from royal duties in 2020 along with her husband, Prince Harry.

In Meghan Markle's appearance on Ellen, she embarrassed the royal family and herself, according to Pasternak.

She may have rejected the British monarchy, yet still seeks to capitalize on her title, being described on-screen as Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.

Pasternak compared her to the Duchess of Windsor, an American divorcee who married into the royal family, yet behaved with the utmost dignity throughout her exile from the British monarchy.

Meghan's appearance on Ellen was the opposite of dignified, and it only served to make her look even more fame-hungry than ever.

GB News presenter Colin Brazier discussed the highly anticipated interview with royal biographer Angela Levin and asked if the royal institution and monarchy were being made a mockery of by association.

Levin said the interview was one of the worst she had ever seen in her life.

She pointed out that Meghan remembers minute details about a car breaking down when she was trying to get acting jobs, but she can't remember talking to an aide about finding freedom, which was very important to her and Harry.

Levin also noted that Meghan has a lot of cameos, switching between being depressing, jolly, or a guru.

While this is fine for an actress, it doesn't earn any respect when a royal behaves like that.

Another expert, columnist Richard Eden, felt that Meghan's appearance on Ellen was a real return to showbiz.

In conclusion, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been receiving a lot of criticism lately, with the French media being particularly harsh towards them.

Meghan's recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show has not helped her public image, with many people feeling that her behavior was inappropriate for a member of the royal family.

Both experts and journalists have been dissecting her performance, with some finding it embarrassing and others seeing it as a return to showbiz.
