The overshadowing car chase incident has left Gloria rightfully upset, turning what should have been a celebratory night into a carefully orchestrated grift.
Deemed an obviously planned and fake spectacle, the car chase has compelled even Gloria, a seasoned New Yorker, to admit that she's been "Markled." The manipulation of Gloria, an elderly individual in her late 80s and stepmother to actor Christian Bale, is particularly disheartening.
It's noteworthy that Gloria had gifted the Duchess a bracelet with the empowering words "linked, not ranked." This $48 bracelet, designed by Steum and now sold out, supported feminist.com. Shockingly, a source alleges that Meghan Markle stole the bracelet after leaving Gloria's house.
This revelation comes amidst reports from Newsweek about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle facing challenges in their transition from royal life to Hollywood. Although the couple signed lucrative content creation deals with streaming giants Netflix and Spotify in 2020, their journey has been far from smooth. In 2023, they became the subjects of late-night jokes, TV show skits, and comedic takedowns, partly triggered by Harry's memoir.
Their Netflix documentary series failed to secure a prime-time Emmy nomination, and Harry's audiobook version of his memoir was snubbed for a Grammy. Additionally, the couple parted ways with their podcast partner Spotify. Despite hopes for a positive turn in 2024, they found themselves targeted with jokes during the 81st Golden Globe Awards.
Commentator Richard Fitz Williams suggests that the couple may be facing a career impasse. Despite a Suits reunion at the Golden Globes, where Meghan was notably absent, the Sussexes became the subject of more jokes. The couple's attempts to reshape their image and career in Hollywood seem to be grappling with significant challenges.
