Meghan Markle Reportedly Stunned by Harsh Media Criticism Amid Royal Backlash

Meghan Markle is reportedly “shocked and hurt” after a viral headline claimed Bloomberg labeled her “the biggest royal mistake ever made.” While no direct quote from Bloomberg confirms such a statement, the sentiment echoes a growing wave of criticism that the Duchess of Sussex has faced from both royal commentators and media outlets over the past few years.

The controversy stems from recent comments made by royal experts, including Tina Brown, the former editor of Vanity Fair, who accused Meghan of having “flawless judgment for getting everything wrong.” Brown, speaking at a media panel, criticized Meghan for consistently making decisions that have alienated her from both the British public and the royal family.

“She had a golden opportunity to become the most beloved royal since Diana,” Brown said. “Instead, she squandered it in pursuit of celebrity status.” Brown also accused Meghan of dragging Prince Harry “like a lamb to the slaughter” by encouraging their royal exit, known widely as “Megxit.”

Though the explosive headline connecting Bloomberg to such an extreme label remains unverified, it has been widely shared online and fueled heated debate. Social media users have both defended and condemned Meghan’s choices, with some calling the headline “sensationalist” and “cruel,” while others argue it reflects a growing frustration with her and Prince Harry’s ongoing attacks on the royal family.

The Duchess, who recently signed a new deal with Netflix, has been in the spotlight once again as she attempts to rebuild her brand. However, insiders claim the royal family has “no interest” in her comeback, with palace sources stating they have “far more important priorities” than addressing Meghan’s public image.

Royal biographer Tom Bower weighed in, calling Meghan’s decisions “strategically disastrous” and claiming she underestimated the importance of tradition, diplomacy, and public duty. “She entered the monarchy thinking it was a stage for her brand, not an institution with centuries of protocol,” Bower said.

While the viral claim attributed to Bloomberg appears to be either a misquote or internet exaggeration, the larger conversation around Meghan’s role in the royal drama continues to evolve. Critics argue that her actions have caused irreparable damage to the monarchy’s image. Meanwhile, supporters insist that Meghan has been unfairly targeted, especially considering the racial and gender dynamics at play.

As of now, Meghan has not responded publicly to the claims. Her representatives declined to comment on the viral headline, though sources close to her suggest she was “deeply disappointed” by the renewed negativity.

Whether or not Bloomberg ever made the alleged statement, the headline has reignited a divisive debate: Was Meghan Markle a fresh breath of modernity—or a royal miscalculation?
