Meghan Markle faced criticism for her behavior during a recent humorous incident in the United States. The Duchess of Sussex’s close friendship with Victoria Jackson, a wealthy cosmetics mogul, has been under scrutiny after reports revealed that Victoria generously allowed Meghan and Prince Harry to stay at her various luxurious properties without charge. Meghan has publicly referred to Victoria as her “safe harbor,” highlighting the bond between them in a magazine interview in 2021, a period when Meghan was openly critical of the Royal Family in the media.
Despite Meghan and Harry’s public criticism of the Royal Family, it was the institution that granted them the title of “Sussex.” This royal connection has reportedly played a role in fostering Meghan’s relationship with Victoria, a prominent figure who was honored in the National Women’s Hall of Fame in 2017.
Jane Moore, a regular contributor on Loose Women, took aim at Meghan for what she perceives as egotism and hypocrisy. Jane highlighted an incident where Meghan was formally introduced by her full royal title, Duchess of Sussex, during an interview at one of Victoria’s lavish estates, sparking amusement among social media users.
Critics like Jane Moore have raised questions about Meghan and Harry’s use of their royal connections for personal gain, despite their previous claims of seeking financial independence from the royal establishment. Meghan, who spent her 41st birthday at Victoria’s ranch in California, reportedly finds comfort and luxury in Victoria’s properties, which are described as far superior to their own residence in Montecito.
As Meghan strives to rebrand herself in 2025 post her Netflix deal, uncertainty lingers over how she and Harry will sustain their affluent lifestyle without a return to royal duties. The connection between Meghan and Victoria sheds light on the challenges the couple faces in navigating their public image and financial endeavors.
