Meghan Markle is being accused of being a narcissist alongside names like Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and readers are not pleased.
“2022 Is the Year We All Finally Got Tired of Narcissists” reads a Politico piece by Joanna Weiss, featuring a composite image of the Duchess of Sussex, the former 45th President of the United States and Kanye West.

“My natural sympathy for the couple started turning to irritation, and it occurred to me that ego has its limits,” the author says of Meghan and Prince Harry‘s docuseries.
“And it struck me that the overreach that led to the Sussexes’ critically panned mega-series is the same impulse that turned Elon Musk into a terror on Twitter, that prompted Ye to up the ante of outrageous behavior until he crossed the line into blatant antisemitism, that sent Bankman-Fried from the top of the world to a Bahamian jail.”
Many people called out the opinion piece for false equivalencies.
“WTH @politico — There is literally no planet where Meghan Markle belongs with this group of people. A Black woman standing up for herself does not equal ‘narcissist.’ The unhinged hatred directed at her really does kind of prove her point doesn’t it,” CNN Senior Political Analyst Kirsten Powers wrote.
“Here’s the thing: I’m very sure that lumping Meghan Markle (for standing up for herself) with the likes of…a white supremacist, apartheid Clyde and a hitler sympathizer is clickbait. And I don’t care. DRAG THEM. @politico, this is absolute trash,” MSNBC analyst Brittany Packnett Cunningham wrote.
It’s not the first time an opinion piece involving Meghan Markle went viral this month, either.

So @JoannaWeiss, I’m going to need you to calm your racist, Karen, insecure ass the fuck down. Why the fuck was Meghan Markle included or used in Thad article? Wanting to bring that shit here? Fuck you @politico & your bullshit. WTF did she even do? Not wanting to endure abuse?

I actually read that piece of rag trash article and already found inaccuracies beyond the overall glaring mistake.
1. She refers to Meghan, Duchess of Sussex & Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex as “Former Duke and Duchess of Sussex”.
They still retain their titles @politico.

What is this bullshit, @Politico @JoannaWeiss?
Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Kanye West, SBF, and Elizabeth Holmes? All megalomaniacal narcissists.
BUT Meghan Markle? A black woman standing up for herself? Out of everyone, you go after her?
Delete this bullshit. Do better. pic.twitter.com/3RqdzwKHQF

We knew @politico was crap, but openly pushing tabloid lies? @JoannaWeiss should be ashamed. Calling Meghan a narcissist in order to discredit her for speaking about the racism she experienced. It’s disgusting to see a woman push this narrative. Stop abusing Meghan for profit.

Duchess Meghan Markle ends up in a Politico article with Donald Trump because I guess the other plotline about the possible end of democracy lacks suspense? I don't know… hmmm…
