Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, recently faced criticism for her emphasis on the importance of “family” during her appearance at the Invictus Games in Germany.

According to a report by Mirror on Sunday, 17 September 2023, Journalist Amanda Platell, writing for the Daily Mail, took aim at Meghan, accusing her of hypocrisy in her approach to family values.
In her scathing critique, Platell raised several points of contention. She questioned Meghan’s actions regarding her own family, particularly her relationship with her father, Thomas Markle.
Platell highlighted Meghan’s decision to distance herself from her father, who had supported her financially and cared for her during her childhood when her mother, Doria Ragland, was not present. She noted that Meghan’s father had never met her husband, Prince Harry, or their two grandchildren.
Platell also turned her attention to Meghan’s relationship with the British Royal Family, which she married into.
Meghan’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which she made allegations of racism and cruelty within the Royal Family, has strained her ties with her new family members.
Platell argued that Meghan’s actions since her marriage have contributed to a significant breakdown in Harry’s relationship with his brother, Prince William, as well as with other members of the Royal Family, including sister-in-law Kate and father King Charles.
The journalist pointed out the perceived hypocrisy in Meghan’s public statements about the importance of family, given her strained relationships with her own family members and her in-laws.
The contrast between Meghan’s public stance on family values and her actions toward her own family and the Royal Family has prompted Platell and others to question the sincerity of her words.
