Guess who’s back on social media after years of claiming she doesn’t even look at it? That’s right, the woman who once said she couldn’t possibly handle the toxicity of social media has made her grand return to Instagram.
And let me tell you, my friends, the way she’s done it is chef’s kiss—peak Meghan Markle!
First off, let’s talk about this “American Riviera lifestyle” she’s trying to brand herself with. She launched her account simply as “Megan”—no titles, just Megan—because apparently, she thinks she’s reached Madonna or Cher status.
I mean, the audacity! But here’s where it gets really interesting, and trust me, my loyal viewers, you’ll want to hear this: The launch was exactly what you’d expect from someone who’s spent years studying how to manipulate media. We’ve got the artsy black-and-white content, the carefully curated casual moments, and of course, that trademark attempt at looking effortlessly elegant. But here’s the kicker: the numbers don’t add up. Let me break this down for you, because this is what we do here—we look at the facts.
Within hours of launching her account, it gained hundreds of thousands of followers. Sounds impressive, right? Well, not so fast. My team and I have been doing some digging, and what we’ve found is absolutely fascinating.
We’re talking thousands upon thousands of suspicious accounts—zero posts, minimal followers, following hundreds of accounts. You know the type: classic bot patterns. And this, my friends, is where our favorite former cable TV actress shows her hand once again. You see, real influence can’t be bought. Just look at Catherine, Princess of Wales. When she shares something on social media, it’s genuine, authentic, and resonates with people because it’s real. But what do we get from Meghan? Smoke and mirrors. Artificial numbers. Desperate attempts to seem relevant.
But here’s what’s really telling—and I know this part’s going to make you sit up straight. Look at who’s not following her. Tyler Perry? Nowhere to be seen. Oprah? Crickets.
All those Hollywood A-listers who supposedly support her? Suspiciously absent from her follower list. It’s like watching a high school popularity contest where someone bought their followers but can’t get the cool kids to sit with them at lunch.
And let’s talk about the timing here. Timing is everything, especially when it comes to Meghan. Just when the real working royals are out there doing meaningful work—just when Catherine and William are showing what true royal duty looks like—suddenly, we get this social media splash.
It’s like clockwork, right? Every time the spotlight shifts away from Meghan, we get another desperate grab for attention. Remember when she claimed she left social media for her mental health? Remember all those speeches about the toxicity of social media?
Well, apparently, that only applies when it’s not benefiting her brand. And that’s what this is really about: brand building. She’s not interested in service. She’s not interested in duty. She’s interested in building her brand, and let me tell you, it’s as transparent as cellophane.
What really gets me is how she’s positioning herself. Notice how it’s just “Megan,” not even “The Duchess of Sussex” anymore. For those who may not know the protocol here, and believe me, Meghan knows it, dropping “the” from a royal title often signals a divorce or separation. Just look at Sarah, Duchess of York versus The Duchess of York. See where I’m going with this? Is this her way of sending signals? Is there trouble in paradise?
Speaking of “paradise,” let’s talk about that launch video. Black and white, of course, trying to channel some ethereal beach goddess vibe. But what’s missing? Her family. No Harry.
No kids. Just Meghan being Meghan. It’s like watching someone audition for their next role—except this time, it’s the role of the independent woman breaking free. Breaking free from what? The very institution she desperately tried to monetize?
What strikes me about all of this is the contrast between her approach and how the real royals handle themselves. William and Catherine share genuine moments with their children, showing them growing up in their roles, teaching them about duty and service.
King Charles and Queen Camilla are out there every day working for the people, showing what dedication really means. Meanwhile, in Montecito, we get carefully curated, heavily edited glimpses of a woman who seems to be playing a part rather than living an authentic life.
And let’s talk about authenticity for a second, because that’s what’s really missing here. Every move is calculated. Every post is strategic. Every detail is manipulated—the lighting, the angles, even the timing.
It’s all part of a carefully orchestrated performance. But here’s the thing: the public isn’t buying it anymore. People can spot authenticity from a mile away, and they can spot fakery just as easily.
What’s really sad is that she had such an opportunity. She could have been part of something truly meaningful—something historic.
Instead, she’s reduced herself to spying followers, staging photos, and desperately trying to stay relevant in a world that’s increasingly seeing through her act. Watching this unfold is like watching a masterclass in how not to handle your public image.
While Catherine is out there showing what real grace looks like, while William is demonstrating what true leadership means, and while King Charles and Queen Camilla are modernizing the monarchy while respecting its traditions, what do we get from Montecito? Social media fluff and manufactured moments.
But here’s the part that really gets me—and I know my regular viewers will understand: it’s the sheer disrespect of it all. Disrespect for the institution she married into. Disrespect for the public’s intelligence. And most of all, disrespect for the very concept of authentic service and duty.
The real royals don’t need to buy followers or stage perfect moments. They let their work speak for itself. And speaking of work, let’s talk about what this launch is really about. It’s not about connecting with people.
It’s not about sharing meaningful content. It’s about setting up the next phase of brand building. Mark my words: we’re going to see product launches, sponsored content, and more attempts to monetize that royal connection she claims to have walked away from.
You know what’s really telling? The reaction from Hollywood. All those A-listers who supposedly supported her, all those powerful friends who were supposedly in her corner—they’re silent.
It’s like they’ve finally seen what we’ve all been seeing all along: this is someone who’s more interested in the spotlight than in substance.
The contrast with Catherine couldn’t be more stark. While one is out there doing real work, making real connections, showing real leadership, the other is buying followers and staging photo ops.
While one is raising her children to understand duty and service, the other is using every opportunity to build her brand. The difference is night and day—and the public sees it.
And that’s really what it comes down to, isn’t it? The public isn’t fooled anymore. They see through the carefully crafted image. They see through the bought followers.
They see through the strategic timing of every move. They see someone who’s desperately trying to stay relevant, while the real royals continue to show what true service looks like.
So, here we are, watching another chapter in the Montecito soap opera unfold. But you know what? While she’s busy buying followers and staging photos, Catherine and William are out there doing the real work.
While she’s trying to build her brand, King Charles and Queen Camilla are building a legacy. And that, my friends, is the difference between substance and spectacle.
