Celebrities are now seeing Meghan Markle “for who she is” following her three-day visit to Nigeria alongside her husband, Prince Harry. A columnist has hit out at the Duchess of Sussex and her “unsuccessful” popularity attempts.

Daily Mail columnist, Maureen Callahan, told GB News the “de facto royal tour” of Nigeria only “serves to knock them down further and further”.

In the West African country, the Sussexes championed their Archewell Foundation’s mental health initiatives for young people and promoted the Invictus Games which Nigeria joined for the first time last year.

Despite their attempt at trying to be seen, the columnist claims Meghan Markle has not been present at high-profile events in America, such as the Met Gala, despite Meghan’s reported connections with fashion mogul, Anna Wintour.

She added: “We recently had the Met Gala, and there were no shortage of starlets on that red carpet.”

Maureen also told the GB News host that Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, is an “avowed monarchist” and claimed Wintour would “not have submitted an invitation the Montecito way”.

She then recalled a recent Vogue write-up which was published ahead of the Met Gala, which appeared to “throw shade” at Meghan. The columnist told TV host Nana Akua: “Vogue did an incredible write-up right before the gala of a dinner that Gwyneth Paltrow hosted at her Montecito estate, so a neighbour of Harry and Meghan.

“It was a Goop collaboration, and among her guest list were Oprah Winfrey and Ted Sarandos. So here’s Meghan attempting to get her little lifestyle brand off the ground, and Goop is clearly a model for her.”

The columnist added: “It’s further proof to any doubtful Briton that we here in America see Meghan Markle for exactly who she is.”
