As we all know, Meghan Sussex has faced non-stop media scrutiny since she entered the British royal fold. But beyond tabloid drama lies a quieter hypocrisy—famous white women who cry foul about online abuse, only to turn around and attack Meghan Sussex. This cycle reveals more than just individual pettiness. It exposes deeper issues like misogynoir, privilege, and projection.

Vogue Williams Cannot Stop Talking About Meghan

Let’s start with Vogue Williams. The Irish TV personality and podcast host recently criticized Meghan Sussex’s Netflix show With Love, Meghan. On her podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me, she mocked Meghan for wearing a jumper over her shoulders and for preparing a rainbow fruit platter for her kids—yes, a fruit platter. Vogue found these harmless lifestyle choices “disgusting.”

Why the aggression? Some say it’s tied to her loose connection to the royal family. Her husband Spencer Matthews is the brother of Pippa Middleton’s husband, making her Meghan-adjacent through marriage. That closeness might fuel feelings of rivalry—or perhaps a misplaced sense of loyalty to Camp Middleton.

Vogue Williams Criticizes Meghan While Facing Her Own Drama

Shortly after Vogue Williams criticized Meghan Sussex, headlines broke about her own marriage struggles. Articles surfaced claiming she and Spencer were in a “stressful situation,” with tabloids speculating about intimacy issues and anniversary “snubs.” Social media users were quick to call out the irony. One viral meme summed it up: “Last week: criticizes Meghan. This week: marriage rumors.”

Many Black People online have pointed out the double standard—how women like Vogue are allowed to lash out but demand sympathy in return. Many see Vogue using Meghan as a distraction from her own public image issues. And they’re not wrong. Meghan becomes a convenient target whenever someone else’s life is going sideways.

Meghan Sussex and the Proxy War of Privilege

Meghan doesn’t just face criticism—she’s become a cultural lightning rod. As a Mixed-Race Black woman in elite spaces, she represents change that makes some people uncomfortable. The attacks from public white women aren’t just personal—they’re political. They often act as stand-ins for institutions too afraid to voice the vitriol directly.

This isn’t new. Historically, society has used white women as the “respectable” face of exclusion. When Meghan Sussex asserts herself, the critics see arrogance. When others do the same, it’s framed as “setting boundaries.” The difference is race, power, and perception.

White Women Who Cry Bully Then Bully Meghan

It’s always the same story. Women like Vogue Williams complain about trolling, body shaming, or press intrusion—and they’re not wrong to. But when it comes to Meghan Sussex, all that empathy goes out the window. Suddenly, it’s open season. They mock her clothes, her parenting, even her tone of voice.

And let’s be clear—Meghan’s own circle has remained mostly quiet about Princess Catherine or Queen Camilla. You don’t see her friends dragging their wardrobe or lifestyle. But those loosely linked to the royals? They can’t stop dragging Meghan’s name into headlines. It’s a one-sided feud pushed by those who benefit from dragging her down.

Meghan Sussex Responds with Silence and Strategy

While her critics spiral, Meghan Sussex stays focused. Instead, she continues to grow her media brand, from With Love, Meghan to upcoming business ventures and a new podcast launching next month with Lemonada Media. Yet that silence is often weaponized. When Meghan ignores the noise, tabloids call her “cold.” When someone like Princess Catherine does it, she’s “graceful.”

This is the double standard in real time. Meghan Sussex doesn’t just survive it—she thrives in spite of it. And that’s what rattles her critics most.

The Real Victims and the Real Villains

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: Meghan’s loudest critics often claim victimhood while engaging in the same bullying they claim to hate. The narrative flips only when a Black woman or Women of Color enter the frame. The question isn’t just why Meghan gets so much hate—it’s why her critics keep getting a pass.

Meghan Sussex continues to be a disruptor, and that scares the system. Whether it’s the monarchy, the media, or middle-tier celebrities clinging to relevance, they all use her to project their issues. But karma is watching—and based on recent headlines, it might already be working overtime.
