Meghan Markle Criticized Royal Family For ‘Keeping Up Appearances’

British Royal News says that Meghan Markle might or might not be using her podcast to once again take aim at the British Royal Family. This time around she is criticizing them for “keeping up appearances” after she was supposedly forced to work a royal engagement after just finding out that her son Archie could have been killed in a fire. Here’s what you need to know.

Meghan Markle Criticized Royal Family For ‘Keeping Up Appearances’

Meghan took to her Archetype podcast to detail what had happened during the Sussexes’ trip to Africa in 2019. Apparently, a fire broke out in Archie’s nursery but luckily, his nanny had been carrying him on her back downstairs in the kitchen. Meghan recalled how she felt like and how the royals wanted to immediately bury the matter right away.

“I was like, Can you just tell people what happened? And so much, I think, optically. The focus ends up being on how it looks instead of how it feels,” she said. “And part of the humanizing and the breaking through of these labels and these archetypes and these boxes that we’re put into is having some understanding on the human moments behind the scenes that people might not have any awareness of and to give each other a break. Because we did — we had to leave our baby… And even though we were being moved to another place afterwards, we still had to leave him and go do another official engagement.”

Of course, it didn’t take long at all for both royal family fans and critics to weigh in on the matter. Many of them wrote on social media, “I always wonder what the royals think the benefit of behavior like this is. People aren’t stuck in a different time like they are. This is the worst example of ‘Keep up appearances, even if your child just narrowly escaped serious harm.’ Princess Diana wasn’t even the first to say eff it to that. Edward did. Then Diana did and now H&M. These people need to evolve or they will implode. I guess we know which one it will be,” along with, “As someone who travels to South Africa often, I am not surprised by this story. The inspections and regulations aren’t anywhere near what you would find in a first world country. Similar things have happened to us on trips.”

Meghan Markle Wanted To Tell The Fire Story Earlier

Another critic wrote, “My heart ached for Meghan as she shared this story about the fire and how it all could have gone horribly wrong for their baby boy. I really respect her and Harry more each day. How about the nanny really just following her instincts and keeping Archie with her? Talk about a hero.”

And then there was this comment, “This story broke my heart. As a soon to be mom, I can’t imagine having to leave my little one after a near death experience & go out and perform duties on behalf of a racist, myopic and archaic institution. I am also happy that Meghan is cleverly addressing the roya sewer rats and all of the haters on Salty Isle on her podcast.”
