Cazzie David recently made headlines for mocking Meghan Markle, adding her name to a growing list of white female critics that includes Rebel Wilson, Sharon Osbourne, Megyn Kelly, Meghan McCain, and others across the white diaspora. Their relentless criticism would make one think Meghan had committed a crime, yet the reality is far from it. The level of disdain directed at her is wildly disproportionate to her actions.

From the moment Meghan entered the royal family, she became the target of racially coded attacks. The criticism has only intensified as she continues to carve out her own space in media and lifestyle branding. White women who dominate these industries—like Gwyneth Paltrow with Goop or Martha Stewart with her empire—are celebrated. But when Meghan enters the same space, she is mocked. The constant scrutiny and criticism directed at the Duchess of Sussex have led many to ask, “Why do white women hate Meghan Markle?”

The Obsession with Tearing Meghan Markle Down

The disdain for Meghan is not based on wrongdoing. Instead, it is about what she represents. She is a black biracial woman who entered an institution that historically excluded women like her. Her presence in high society, media, and lifestyle branding challenges the traditional expectations of who gets to occupy these spaces.

Cazzie David shares private messages mocking With Love, Meghan, joining a long list of white women who nitpick the Duchess of Sussex over trivial details.

For example, Meghan’s Netflix series With Love, Meghan has been a target of hate-watching. White women on social media picked apart moments as mundane as making tea, packaging treats, and preparing bath salts. A segment on wrapping homemade gifts sparked a wave of mockery, with critics calling it unnecessary. However, similar content from white influencers and homemakers is met with praise. The reaction is not about the content—it is about who is presenting it. What do white women feel when they see Meghan Markle? This question continues to spark debate, as her every move is met with constant criticism from a specific demographic.

White Women Struggle With Meghan‘s Status and Marriage

There is growing speculation that white women are jealous of Meghan Markle and the way she has navigated spaces traditionally reserved for them. The hostility also stems from Meghan’s relationship with her husband, Prince Harry. White women have historically been positioned as the ultimate romantic prize in society. But Meghan, a biracial woman, married into one of the most exclusive families in the world, with a husband who openly adores and defends her.

Critics resent how unwaveringly he supports her. The idea that a royal prince would not only choose but also fiercely protect a women of color disrupts their deeply ingrained belief that men of power and privilege should prioritize white women.

Meghan very existent fuels their anger, making them pick apart everything she does. Meghan McCain told the Duchess to ‘ignore the press’ and stop ‘playing the victim,’ but she refuses to do the same. McCain keeps attacking Meghan even though she has moved on from royal duties. She calls herself a proud American but praises Princess Catherine, a white royal, while constantly tearing Meghan down. The double standard is clear—McCain’s problem isn’t with royalty, but with who gets to be in it.

The Root of White Women’s Obsession With Meghan

Many of Meghan’s loudest critics struggle to explain their hatred. When asked, they rely on vague claims like “she’s fake” or “something about her seems off.” These are not real criticisms. They are emotional reactions rooted in bias. Some have even accused her of causing Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s deaths, as if elderly people don’t naturally age and pass away.

This backlash mirrors the hostility other Black women face when they enter elite spaces. When the Obamas bought a home in Martha’s Vineyard, critics reacted as if their success was an insult to the status quo.

As a WOC, Meghan is aspirational. Her journey from actress to duchess to media entrepreneur shows success is possible for anyone, no matter their background. That makes her a threat. She is not just a role model for Black women but for all women who want to break barriers. Yet, many of the gatekeepers—often white women in power—have long decided which women deserve admiration. And to them, Black women rarely, if ever, make the list.

Camilla Tominey plays a key role in shutting out women like Meghan from being seen as aspirational. She mocks Meghan for calling herself a “working mother,” as if the idea is laughable. Tominey has a long history of attacking Meghan over trivial matters and spreading false narratives to damage her reputation. She was the one who first pushed the false claim that Meghan made Kate cry, when in reality, it was Kate who made Meghan cry. She also attacked Meghan’s Vogue editorship, claiming she showed bias by choosing a diverse group of women. Tominey’s reaction shows how women like her want to control who gets to be admired. When someone like Meghan breaks through, they lash out. But Meghan does not shrink herself, lower her ambition, or seek approval from gatekeepers.

The White Female Media Machine Profits From Hate

Media platforms, especially those targeting white women, have turned Sussex criticism into a lucrative industry. Tabloids like The Daily Mail and The Sun churn out negative headlines, often twisting facts or spreading outright falsehoods. TV personalities like Megyn Kelly and royal commentators on GB News keep the outrage cycle alive, knowing their audiences will eagerly consume it.

YouTube has also become a breeding ground for anti-Sussex content. Entire channels exist solely to attack her, with creators openly admitting they hate-watch her work just to find new material. They claim they want Meghan to disappear, yet they keep her name trending.

Anti-Meghan groups actively organize boycotts and hate-watching campaigns against her Netflix show, while content creators falsely claim censorship. However, live streaming copyrighted content, like Netflix shows, leads to takedowns—just as it did for Charles’ coronation.

This obsession reveals a deeper conflict between meritocracy and aristocracy. Meghan earned her success through her own talent and hard work, yet her critics refuse to see her as deserving of a place in elite circles. The royal system thrives on hierarchy, privilege, and lineage—not merit—which is why Meghan’s rise challenges everything they believe in. Her success challenges the belief that power and privilege should remain in the hands of the same few—those born into it, not those who earn it. By thriving on merit rather than inherited status, she threatens an entire system built on legacy rather than ability.

When Hate Becomes a Business Model

These critics love to attack Meghan, but they cry foul when their content gets removed for breaking copyright laws. They stream her Netflix show, knowing it violates the rules, then act outraged when their videos get flagged. They are not victims of censorship—they are exploiting her name for engagement while pretending to be silenced.

YouTubers claim their negative reviews of Meghan Markle’s Netflix show are being blocked or demonetized. However, live streaming a Netflix show is a clear violation of copyright. Similar restrictions applied during King Charles’ coronation, where flagged content was also taken down.

The same media machine that profits from Meghan hate also protects its own interests. Platforms that allow non-stop attacks on her will still enforce copyright laws when it suits them. Meanwhile, these critics organize hate-watching campaigns and flood review sites with bad ratings, hoping to sabotage her projects. Yet, their obsession only keeps her relevant. They do not want her to fail—they need her to stay in the spotlight because, without her, their outrage has no purpose.

The Real Reason White Women Cannot Let Go of Hating Meghan

The backlash against her is telling. Do white women hate Meghan Markle, or do they simply resent her ability to thrive despite their disapproval? Many white women who criticize Meghan struggle to articulate their issue with her beyond vague claims, revealing a deeper discomfort with her presence in spaces they once dominated. Their frustration lies in the fact that she is thriving in spaces they believed were reserved for them. They are angry that a biracial woman not only married into royalty but also continues to succeed despite their efforts to undermine her.

The relentless attacks on Meghan are not about her being unlikable. They are about white women struggling to accept that their monopoly on elite spaces is crumbling. Their obsession with tearing her down is ultimately a reflection of their own insecurities.

Instead of questioning why Meghan exists in these spaces, they should ask themselves why her presence unsettles them so much. The answer to that question reveals far more about them than it ever will about her.

Want to see what real solidarity looks like?

Not every white woman has joined the smear campaign. Some, like Gwyneth Paltrow, have actively shut down the press-manufactured drama and shown Meghan Sussex the respect she deserves. Unlike her royal in-laws, who let misinformation spread like mold, Gwyneth stood beside Meghan and debunked the hate in just one video.
