Media Timing and Meghan Markle: A Repeated Pattern of Poor Judgement

Meghan Markle's recent appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show has once again sparked debates about her media timing and suitability for the royal family. Many have criticized her as poorly timed and misjudged, attributing her appearance to her desire for personal gain.

Is Meghan Markle's Appearance on Ellen DeGeneres Show Poorly Timed?

Beyond the headline-grabbing nature of her appearance, there's a question of whether it was well-timed in the context of Queen Elizabeth II's health concerns. Some argue that given the queen's advanced age and ongoing health issues, any public appearances by Meghan could be seen as opportunistic, not to mention disrespectful.

Media Cycles vs. Royal Protocol

Meghan's public appearances are often criticized for being poorly timed, particularly during sensitive periods. The day of her appearance on Ellen, the queen was undergoing a period of health concerns, raising doubts about the appropriateness of her schedule. However, some argue that royal protocol includes a level of public engagement that has to balance with individual privacy.

Markle's Attempts to Appear 'Normal'

Meghan has repeatedly tried to portray herself as relatable and normal, especially in her media appearances. Her attempt to highlight her 'normal' life through the Ellen DeGeneres show was seen as particularly crass and in poor taste. Ellen's segment, it seems, was designed to showcase Markle's effort in portraying a more down-to-earth image, but it arguably backfired, making her look foolish rather than relatable.

Publicity Driven Decisions

It's often suggested that Meghan’s stunts and media appearances are driven by the desire to draw attention to herself or gain financial benefit. Whether she succeeded in this regard with the Ellen show is debatable. Contrary to her intentions, her appearance was met with mixed reactions, most notably from the public who seems less interested in legitimizing her through such media platforms.

Criticisms and Backlash: A Pattern of Negative Feedback

Much of the backlash against Meghan’s appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show can be attributed to her consistent record of poorly timed public engagements. Observers point out that her actions often seem to be designed to upstage the royal family or exacerbate difficult situations. Her willingness to use media platforms to draw attention to herself frequently backfires, as evidenced in this instance.

Crass and Unbecoming

Many have called her a D-list actress who lacks the grace and suitability to represent the monarchy. There's a widespread view that Meghan acts more as a reality TV star than a member of an esteemed royal family. Her propensity to generate unwanted publicity and her public appearances are often summarized as crass and unbecoming.

Reflection on the Current royal Landscape

The modern royal landscape presents a unique set of challenges and expectations, particularly regarding media and public appearances. Meghan's attempts to fit into this landscape often come up short, reflecting a broader issue of how well public figures like her navigate the expectations and boundaries set by royal protocol.

Despite her efforts to appear relatable and down-to-earth, incidents like her appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show often result in negative public reactions and backlash. The question remains: is Meghan's timing ever truly appropriate, or does her public persona consistently backfire due to her poor judgment in these media engagements?
