Meghan Markle is setting out to bring down the royal family

Meghan Markle is on a rampage to bring down the royal family and she’ll stop and nothing to do it, writes Sophie Elsworth.

Harry and Meghan 'seem pampered and spoiled'

MEGHAN Markle has achieved exactly what she set out to do.

And that is to pour shame on the royal family with baseless claims that have tarred the monarchy with the racism brush.

Throw into the mix that the Monarchy didn’t give two hoots when she said she was suicidal while pregnant with her unborn child and she’s successfully managed to concoct a horrible mix of hatred towards the royals.

You cannot get much worse than being racist and denying someone mental health help.

But Markle knows full well the world won’t be getting a follow-up sit-down interview led by American talk show host Oprah with Her Majesty.

The Queen and the royal family certainly wouldn’t stoop to Markle and her husband, handbag Harry’s pathetically low levels of self pity.

Markle’s antics in the past week have been nothing short of shameful.

The two-hour sit-down interview with Oprah was excruciating to watch.

The 39-year-old gave viewers a solid session of whinging - both from her the B-lister Hollywood starlet and partner in crime - who have hardly done it tough.

Just three years ago Markle was lapping up a big white wedding with a celebrity guest list - some of whom she barely knew- that cost a whopping AUD$60 million.

She then soon ditched Kensington Palace and packed her bags, heading to Frogmore Cottage at Windsor where another AUD$5.3 million was spent doing up the palatial residence only for her to flee there too.

Markle has left a path of destruction behind her in a very short space of time.

She seems to have more foes than friends, she’s fallen out with Kate and William, her father Thomas Markle and numerous royal staff tossed in the towel because they’d had enough of her own bullying of them.

Yet watching the woe is me session with Oprah, Markle went back to her acting days and played the victim beautifully.

She threw the entire royal family under the bus and caused worldwide outrage, with some commentators here in Australia even calling for our country to finally become a republic.

The insincerity of Markle never ceases to amaze many - this interview aired at a time when 99-year-old Prince Philip has just undergone heart surgery.

But Markle and her pathetic Harry obviously couldn’t care less, they wanted the world to know exactly how unsupported and unprotected they felt by “The Firm”.

This is never going to end well.

Markle has her husband going along with whatever she says, for now.

Only time will tell how long this painful duo can keep making more and more enemies.
