Is Meg ok?
I keep seeing all these headlines expressing ‘she has a secret army of girlboss friends who won’t let her fail’. It’s interesting to me, because she owes all, literally all, of her fame and success so far to the men who have featured in her life. Dad, Trev, Markus, Cory, Harry, Ted: It’s been love bombing and monkey branching to the next man to provide the next opportunity every time she’s needed one.
Now that she’s burned through Harry’s inheritance, (how inconsiderate of him not to bring more to the table), and money is tight again, women, collectively are now here to save her. Which means there is no man in sight. It made me realise that this must be the first time she’s never had a new man to provide her with a new opportunity, in her entire experience of being alive.
Markus doesn’t seem to be successful in finding her a new mark. Ted is no longer bankrolling the brand and the staff. Harry is bleeding dry of money and can’t make her liked. And for the first time, there is no potential new knight in shining armour on the horizon to provide the next thing for her. We have truly entered a wild new frontier for Markle. Does she know what to do next? This must be such a weird experience for her at 45 years old, when men have delivered everything for her so far in life, as if they’re Door Dash. I just felt I should ask if she’s ok.
