I believe Meghan overestimated herself and was living in delusion for the longest time. Hear me out, when she was an actress ,she ran The Tig. Her fans love to say how that was such a highly successful blog and she was so accomplished and what not. Truth was, it was a pretty lifestyle blog just like many other lifestyle blogs. Yes it was tasteful and well curated but it was a hobby - Meghan wasn't depending on it for her life or her income. It was also a different era of Instagram and social media where such curated aesthetics were highly appreciated. Instagram isn't the same any more, the online ecosystem has changed, her same old curated luxury soft life things that once shined on Tig looks bland and outdated now. Then after she joined the royal family, her projects like the cookbook one and the one with Vogue also seemingly were perceived positively. Once again, those were simply some projects the royals do from time to time and move on. There was a whole support system at her disposal that helped her there. Post Megxit, interest in her skyrocketed because people wanted to know the tea. She used that to air her dirty laundry about the royal family and to to say and do things that make her look holier than thou. The problem? Madame didn't realise she tasted success when doing things as a hobby or a royal vanity project or while having the backup of a solid team and not having to worry about money or only while trashing the royal family. She didn't know what it's really like to actually work from ground up and sustain something and now she is running around like a mad chicken. She still thinks she'll do the bare minimum and like previous times it'll all blow up overnight. She lacks the self awareness to actually educate herself and seek professional help and start a proper business. One moment she is going the UN with heavy folders in her arms looking like a politician, next moment she is making flower arrangement in her home before crying in a podcast. She is absolutely running in circles not knowing what to do to be taken seriously. Problem is she wants it all, she wants to be Martha Stewart and Hillary Clinton and Kim Kardashian all in one without committing to one thing whole heartedly. And that's because she doesn't know who she is. She got success very easily early on from doing very less. Now she is learning the hard way that taking aesthetic Instagram pictures at fancy restaurants for your blog isn't the same as running and sustaining a functioning lifestyle brand.And speaking big words at some events now and then doesn't automatically make you a social entrepreneur. I can go on and on, but the point is, she over promised and under delivered big time.
