Meghan Markle has recently come under heavy criticism regarding how she manages her friendships, with accusations of distancing herself from people when they no longer serve her interests. These claims were made by royal biographer Angela Levin during an interview with GB News, as part of her commentary on the Duchess of Sussex’s personal relationships.
Levin accused Meghan of mingling with A-listers and billionaires, only to “ditch them” when the relationships no longer benefit her. She expressed her belief that this pattern could signal “the beginning of the end” for some of Meghan’s connections. “Because once she finds that she’s okay on her own, then she’s satisfied,” Levin said.
She further elaborated, “As we’ve seen throughout her life, she drops people when she no longer needs them, and I think that will be what happens around the corner.”
This criticism comes as Meghan faces increasing media scrutiny. The recent wave of negative attention began when The Hollywood Reporter published a piece quoting a former employee who described Meghan as a “dictator in high heels” who allegedly caused staff members to cry. Following this, more reports surfaced, with some going so far as to label her a “demon boss.”
However, sources close to Meghan have pushed back on these negative claims. One notable defense came from Mandana Dayani, the former COO of Meghan and Prince Harry’s Archewell Foundation, who praised the Duchess for her warmth and mentorship.
Dayani told US Weekly, “Some of my favorite memories were during our weekly meetings in their Montecito home, where Meghan always served the most incredible lunches, snacks, and her latest beautiful concoction.” She also recalled a specific moment when she found Meghan “finishing her own makeup and steaming her jumpsuit” before a meeting, noting how the Duchess added a personal touch to the workplace environment.
Dayani added, “Just last week, as Meghan and I were planning our next lunch, I told her how excited I was to pick her brain on my latest ventures.” As media narratives continue to swirl, Meghan’s supporters emphasize her positive qualities and contributions, while critics, like Levin, remain skeptical of her motivations and relationships.
