Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is facing renewed criticism for what some commentators describe as her ability to “turn overexposure into an art form” — a stark contrast to her earlier calls for a peaceful and private life away from the British Royal Family.
British writer Alicia Liberty, in a column for Express UK, argued that Meghan has drifted far from her original motivations for stepping back from royal duties. “The monarchy, she once claimed, didn’t suit her. But California? That’s her natural habitat — a land where fame, not service, reigns supreme,” Liberty wrote.
The author pointed out the irony that despite Meghan and Prince Harry’s repeated pleas for privacy, the couple have remained at the center of global media attention. “For a couple craving peace, they’ve managed to turn overexposure into an art form,” she said, suggesting that their public presence has only intensified since their royal exit.
Liberty also questioned Meghan’s rumored return to acting, calling it “the next desperate move in her ongoing bid to stay relevant.” She criticized Meghan’s Hollywood credentials, writing, “What exactly is Meghan Markle’s acting legacy? She’s no Angelina Jolie or Natalie Portman — these are women respected for their craft, not their camera angles.”
Concluding her piece, Liberty wrote, “Eight years out of the game, Meghan is stepping back into an industry that’s long since moved on, armed with little more than a royal title and a talent for self-promotion.”
