The ‘Duchess of Duplicity’ is out of control. She spoke out earlier today in Australia where she was attending a youth mental health conference and, to the surprise of absolutely no one, made it – in front of this group of suffering children – all about herself.
“For now 10 years – every day for 10 years – I have been bullied and attacked, and I was the most trolled person in the entire world, man or woman, and I’m still here,” she claimed. “And so when I think of all of you and what you’re experiencing, I think so much of that is having to realize that, you know, that industry, that billion-dollar industry, that is completely anchored and predicated on cruelty to get clicks, that’s not going to change. So, you have to be stronger than that.”
What is she even talking about? The Daily Mail is not writing articles about the children in this mental health group. No one is targeting those kids. You got targeted because you wanted to be. You got targeted because you sought out the most eligible bachelor in the world, who was putty in your hands because you knew exactly how to exploit him thanks to his own mental trauma. You targeted him. He was on your vision board – I am the one who broke that news, and I had it on a very good source – notwithstanding your lies about having no idea who the Royal Family was or who he was.
You made it happen because you wanted a short cut to mega-fame. You weren’t getting it done on Suits, so you decided to marry somebody way more famous than you and then glom on to everything he had. That made you a target. You became a large public figure. Every public figure has been subjected to negative scrutiny, often very intense and unpleasant.
But you had the benefit of universal praise and a fawning press for a year when you started dating him. A biracial American princess! The U.S. press went nuts, and the Brits, who are more woke than we are, were self-flagellating themselves in every paper for not having had anybody of color in the family. They were bending over backwards to welcome you into the Royal Family and chastise themselves for not having had somebody as diverse and interesting as you prior to that.
And then you blew it by being a bitch and a bully to everyone around you. I think we are now at over two dozen people who have left your employ – many in tears – after the bullying you subjected them to. And then when news of your terrible behavior got out, the press turned on you. Yes, that is how life works. Ask Blake Lively.
Watch and Learn
Stop going to groups of children – days ago, it was kids in a cancer hospital; now, it is kids dealing with anxiety and depression – and making it about yourself, your need for publicity, and your desire to recast actual events of the past as something much more favorable to you. Just stop.
You were the most beloved and privileged person in the world. Like you can relate to anything, anything that these kids are going through because you have had some negative articles written about you while you sat inside your castle with your tiara on and the crown jewels? She is so clueless. She has no idea why we don’t like her. She thinks it is because we have bought misleading press coverage.
No, it is because we have watched you. We watched you get every advantage of the world and then cry to ITV that no one asked about how you were doing. We watched you bag the elephant, Prince Harry, going to Africa together, going on world tours, people fawning, falling at your feet with praise and admiration. And then we watched you go on with Oprah and stick a knife in the late Queen and her husband, who was dying in the hospital at that moment, letting people believe they might be racists. As it turns out, you appear to have been talking about now-Queen Camilla and others within the royal family. But you wouldn’t do anyone the courtesy of saying it explicitly because you wanted to tar everyone with that brush.
You are a bully. That is why the press turned on you. But now she has a lecture for these kids on how you just have to be stronger. Why don’t you try being stronger, duchess? You sue every other publication that says something negative about you because you have such thin skin.You did your little shoot right to the top of the public figure scale, by design, and then couldn’t handle it when you got there. There is something beneficial about becoming a public figure more slowly, both on your burgeoning fame and on the downsides of it. You skipping that – which was your goal that you successfully achieved – has cost you the wisdom that you would have attained had you earned it step by step.
So, shame on you for using your time with children to make it about yourself, to try to rehab yourself by referencing experiences that have absolutely no bearing to these children. Are these a bunch of child stars? I don’t think so. It is social media and negative comments here and there that these kids may or may not be seeing. It is not the same thing as you earning negative press from the British and American tabloids and mainstream media. The loathing of you has gone mainstream thanks to one person: You, with an assist from your husband, who has become even more whiny and pathetic.
A Word on Prince Harry
Prince Harry is just as bad as she is. He was out there talking about how “anxious, stressed, helpless, powerless, and completely overwhelmed” we all apparently feel. We do? I don’t feel completely overwhelmed. I don’t feel “anxious, stressed, helpless, powerless, and completely overwhelmed.” What are you “completely overwhelmed” about – how big is your mansion in Montecito? He is obsessing over the death of his mother, which was tragic. It was also 30 years ago.
Most people have lost somebody very close to them. Some of us also lost parents right around that same age. We went on to deal with it, to live our lives, to fill up our hearts and our heads with other more positive experiences, to connect with other humans, to see the goodness of humankind. We didn’t say what he was saying today. We didn’t stay in the fetal position until we realized we needed mental health assistance.
This guy is a grown man, he is now a father of two, and he is talking about himself in the fetal position feeling “completely overwhelmed.” By what – your $100 million, your role as a prince, your connection to the king of England? What is it that is overwhelming you?
I can’t with these two. Their self-pity is such a turnoff to me.
