  • Meghan Markle has been dubbed as a social climber
  • The Duchess of Sussex is accused of trapping Prince Harry
  • Meghan Markle is continuously criticized by netizens

Meghan Markle has been dubbed as a social climber one too many times ever since she joined the royal family.

On the online forum site Quora, Ambika Shetty Khan, who studied the British royal family, said that the fact that Markle is friends with a lot of A-listers suggests that she’s a social climber.

“She invited Amal, Oprah, and others who she didn’t know very well to her wedding. Foolish Meghan never extended an invite to her supportive black relatives, childhood friends or anyone from her past who was there for her when she was a struggling artist and instead she runs after fake celebrities,” she said.

Khan also urged the Duchess of Sussex to make amends with her father, Thomas Markle Sr. The netizen also said that Markle should be reminded of the fact that she’s black.

Edda M. Lopez accused Markle of trapping her innocent husband, Prince Harry. The netizen said that the Duke of Sussex grew up in a loving and protective home, and he had no experience with real hunters until he met his wife.

On Twitter, some netizens also shared the same sentiments.

“Yeah, Meghan Markle… social climber extraordinaire,” Twitter user @2Cloverdale said.

“Meghan Markle is a very ambitious social climber according to her friends. Harry thinks he’s in love and MM is in love with the $$$ and the title. I give this misguided romance about five years,” Twitter user @CarolLaitinen said.

In September, “Good Morning Britain” host Piers Morgan called Prince Harry’s wife a social climber. Morgan also said that Markle should be given credit for her nickname because she worked hard to attain it.

But during this time, some supporters of the Duchess of Sussex lashed out at Morgan. Others also took the opportunity to slam Kate Middleton.

“Piers Morgan is now going after Meghan Markle for apparently ghosting him once she met Prince Harry. Maybe it’s because Meghan Markle is indeed a social climber. Maybe it’s because Piers Morgan is a piece of [expletive]. Either way, Meghan Markle wins,” Twitter user @ErynWhy said.

“The British media calling Meghan Markle a social climber is so ironic especially when it’s a known fact that Kate Middleton went to Prince William’s college only to meet him,” Twitter user @bensolobabyboy said.

Meanwhile, Markle also made headlines today after Kensington Palace uploaded a photo of Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace. The table beside Her Majesty featured framed photos of Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Camilla Parker Bowles, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children.

However, Prince Harry, Markle, and their son Archie were snubbed by the monarch.
