Liz Jones’ emotional meltdown over Meghan Markle is both amusing and telling of a larger sentiment in the British media. In her recent piece, she laments what she perceives as Meghan’s fall from grace, expressing disappointment in everything from Meghan’s red carpet appearances to her dwindling public image. But upon closer examination, it’s clear that the frustration is less about Meghan’s choices and more about the triumph of another royal figure—Catherine, the Princess of Wales.
Liz’s article paints a picture of someone who feels let down after years of supporting Meghan, seeing her as a powerful, outspoken woman with potential. But the criticism, particularly of Meghan’s now-infamous red dress, reveals an underlying shift. Liz notes how Meghan hasn’t “grown in stature” but instead has “shrunk” from Duchess to “D-list.” Her disappointment is almost palpable, but the real source of her frustration seems to stem from something deeper than fashion choices or public appearances.
Liz Jones, along with much of the British press, was hoping Meghan Markle would be the person to shake up the royal family, particularly by overshadowing Catherine. For years, Catherine was subjected to harsh critiques by writers like Liz, who saw her as boring or uninspiring. Meghan’s arrival on the scene was seen as a breath of fresh air—she was stylish, confident, and charismatic. The media puffed her up, viewing her and Harry as the couple who would redefine royalty and potentially bring down William and Catherine’s “outdated” brand.

But seven years later, it’s clear that things haven’t gone as planned. Meghan and Harry’s departure from royal life, followed by a series of controversies and lackluster projects, has tarnished the image many hoped would challenge the status quo. Instead of outshining Catherine and William, Meghan and Harry have struggled to find their footing, with Harry often ridiculed as a sideshow and Meghan appearing lost in Hollywood’s vast landscape. Meanwhile, Catherine and William have steadily grown in prominence, representing the future of the British monarchy.
This is the crux of Liz Jones’ meltdown. It’s not simply about Meghan’s red carpet mishaps or her supposed lack of growth—it’s about Catherine and William quietly thriving while Meghan and Harry stumble. Liz and others in the British press pinned their hopes on Meghan as the weapon to finally topple the Waleses, but now they must watch as their “weapon” deflates, while Catherine and William stand stronger than ever.
William and Catherine, as Liz begrudgingly has to admit, play the long game. They have carefully and patiently navigated the royal landscape, avoiding the scandals and distractions that have consumed their rivals. Their growth is not just in public perception but also in their ability to lead with discipline and grace. Liz’s frustration is not just about Meghan’s perceived failures but about the royal couple she so desperately wanted to see fail continuing to rise.
In many ways, Meghan and Harry’s trajectory has only solidified Catherine and William’s position at the top. Despite the media frenzy, the backing of major PR houses, and even support from Hollywood celebrities, the Sussexes have not managed to dethrone the steady, consistent appeal of the Waleses.
So, Liz’s disappointment is understandable when seen through this lens. It’s not just Meghan’s fall from grace she’s mourning—it’s the realization that her preferred narrative, one in which Meghan triumphs over Catherine, has failed to materialize. As she pens her words of frustration, likely, that she’s not alone. Many who championed Meghan and Harry as the future of the monarchy are now left watching as Catherine and William continue their steady ascent, playing the long game while their detractors run out of moves.
Perhaps Liz can find solace in knowing she’s not the only one crying over this missed opportunity. Meghan herself, along with her staunchest supporters in the media, likely share in this bitter reflection. And as they gather to mourn what could have been, Catherine and William quietly move forward, playing their game with precision, their eyes set firmly on the future.
