Why King Charles’s Goddaughter Scrubbed That Meghan Markle Clip
Apparently, roasting Meghan Markle comes with a price tag. In a recent royal-side drama that feels oddly like a social-media dust-up, King Charles’s goddaughter quietly pulled down a video from her personal website after online backlash. The clip, which aired pointed commentary on Meghan’s influence in the monarchy, resurfaced last week thanks to eagle-eyed fans who spotted it buried in her “Media” section. Within hours, comment threads blew up, prompting her to hit the “delete” button and issue a brief statement blaming “technical issues.”
The original footage featured a brief analysis of Meghan’s January interview with biographer Omid Scobie, where she claimed palace aides repeatedly misled her. According to People magazine, the goddaughter had intercut Meghan’s quotes with archival footage of palace routines, framing it as a case study in earned privilege. Daily Mail corroborated that several royal-watch groups flagged the montage, labelling it “poor taste” and “insider-baiting.” Critics on Twitter and Instagram accused the goddaughter of exploiting her royal ties for clicks, with hashtags like #unfairupload trending within hours.
Her swift backpedal echoes an earlier misstep in October, when a fragment of her royal memorabilia collection was misattributed to Kate Middleton—an error she later attributed to “data mix-ups.” This time, aides insist there was no palace intervention; sources at The Telegraph say the takedown was a purely personal choice to avoid further social-media fracas. A spokesperson for Clarence House declined to comment, while People confirms the goddaughter is “reviewing her site’s editorial process.”
Tech-savvy royal fans have already archived the deleted clip on fan forums, so the tea won’t stay buried for long. Some commentators wonder if this will cool tension between Meghan’s camp and the broader Windsor circle, or just add fuel to the rumor mill. PR experts quoted in Hello! magazine say the incident underscores the tightrope even close palace affiliates must walk when posting hot takes online.
There’s no word yet on whether the goddaughter will replace the video with a reworked edition, or simply let the whole episode fade away. Watch this space—if old-school royal decorum meets modern-day cancel culture, the next move could get even juicier. Anyway, that’s the gist—do with it what you will.
