Princess Diana’s former private secretary has penned a column for Daily Mail slamming Meghan Markle for her recent trip to New York where she held her first baby shower.
Patrick Jephson accused the new Royal of wanting to further her ‘celebrity’, and compares her to Kate Middleton in a damning article.
“The uproar created in some quarters by Meghan’s brief, but undeniably extravagant, Big Apple excursion could hardly have been greater if she had run naked down Broadway and burned a Union Jack in Times Square,” the former private secretary wrote.
Jephson slammed Markle’s friends for keeping “the media and the Twittersphere intimately informed of every breathless detail of the very un-British custom of the baby shower.”
He went on to question her intentions, saying “it’s hard to remember Meghan’s eager determination to ‘hit the ground running’ in her new royal career and not compare it with her sister-in-law Catherine’s less exciting but, in retrospect, wiser intention ‘to learn the ropes’.
“All Meghan’s running has brought her, at private-jet velocity, to a lonely crossroads. It’s a stark choice between the path of celebrity versus the path of duty, service and sacrifice.”
Leaving no stone unturned, the former Royal staff member describes the Duchess of Sussex as a “divorced, media-smart and ambitious celebrity, empowered by all the arsenal of right-on feminism.”
Well then.
