I just can`t take to Meghan Markle. I`ve heard or read nothing about Ms Markle during the past year that has changed my perception of her. Personally, rightly or wrongly, I see her as a gold digging, publicity seeking woman whose charm and good looks just happen to have netted her a kind, smitten, brave yet rather meek, prince.
However good an actor Meghan once was, or, perhaps, still is (!), why can`t I bring myself to like her ? To some, me included, it`s difficult to see beyond a woman with an imperious veneer and a sense of paranoia. I feel guilty for not liking her, but as a lay observer exposed to her public imagery, there just seems something fake about Meghan.
The press won`t leave her alone because her name sells newspapers and airtime so like her or loathe her, even though she`s thousands of miles away, Markle will be always be a nearby headline or voice.
That reminds me, must set the TV recorder for 9pm, ITV on Monday. Wouldn`t want to miss the Oprah Winfrey show !
