Meghan Markle Absent from Power of Women Event Following Queen Elizabeth II’s Passing

On Wednesday, Meghan Markle was noticeably absent from the cover of Variety as one of its Power of Women honorees.

The event featured a host of celebrities, including Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, Anna DuVernay, Oprah Winfrey, Elizabeth Olsen, and Malala.

After the covers were posted on Twitter, Sussex fans were quick to question why Meghan's cover was missing.

She was named one of the publication's honorees earlier this year.

However, some royal fans mocked Meghan for the honor, questioning her achievements and integrity.

One fan commented that Meghan's recognition was due to marrying a powerful man, while another suggested that she had been pulled from the event.

A third fan questioned Meghan's power, stating that riding on the coattails of men is not what makes a woman powerful.

The fourth fan accused Meghan of being a bully and stated that they would not invite her to the opening of an envelope.

In addition to the absence of Meghan Markle, a royal expert believes that Prince Harry and Meghan should choose between living the celebrity lifestyle or committing to royal life.

PR expert Leigh de Citroen explained that straddling both realms becomes tricky, particularly when seeking privacy.

Citroen weighed up the rewards and risks of both royal and celebrity lifestyles.

She explained that there are rules, protocols, and rewards that come with royal life.

Celebrities also have their own set of rules and protocols, but it comes with more risks and is different to be managed.

Citroen noted that Meghan may have understood celebrity culture, but it's just not the same as royal life.

She suggested that Meghan may feel more natural wanting stardom, but there are many treacherous landscapes associated with this.

Harry, on the other hand, grew up in the culture of the institution and may still feel the comfort of the institution.

Citroen concluded that the Sussexes have to make a choice between being a king or a celebrity as there's a very different persona and perceptual mapping that goes with both.

She noted that sometimes you don't get both and that they have to decide who they're going to be in this world.

In conclusion, Meghan Markle's absence from the Power of Women event has sparked questions from fans.

While some mocked her for the recognition, others questioned her power and integrity.
