Meghan Markle has been trying to keep details of her personal life in the U.S. as private as possible recently. Most, if not all, royal fans are aware that the former Suits actress and Prince Harry decided to depart from royal life amid the endless attacks of the British media and due to their desire to become financially independent from the Firm.
Unfortunately, even though Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are already miles away from the U.K., their detractors continue to lambast and criticize almost everything that they do. Things exacerbated after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, wherein they revealed some shocking details about their lives in the palace.
Recently, British journalist Dan Wootton lambasted Meghan Markle as Kate Middleton and Prince William face criticisms from Caribbean locals over their royal tour. Keep on reading to know more details.
Meghan Markle To Be Blamed For Cancelation Of Kate Middleton And Prince William's First Caribbean Tour?
Dan Wootton claimed that Meghan Markle and her controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey last year have intensified the issues. It can be recalled that the wife of Prince Harry made allegations of racism within the royal family but did not name those who she alleged had made such remarks.

Talking about the protests that met Kate Middleton and Prince William, Dan stated:
“Was all this difficulty intensified by the antics of Meghan Markle when she made unsubstantiated and anonymous allegations of racism within the Royal Family during her outlandish interview with Oprah prompting the infamous response from Buckingham Palace that recollections may vary?"
Of Meghan Markle, the British journalist furthered:
“Meghan wasn’t forced out of the palace, she ran out in a hurry because she wanted to make the big bucks in Hollywood and become even more famous, she used the Royal Family, look at the trouble that Meghan has caused for the Royal Family.”
Dan Wootton also said:
“But the reason I am so angry is that they are using this propaganda for Meghan Markle to add to their cause and try and paint a picture of a 95-year-old monarch as some sort of racist. And anyone who knows anything about the Queen knows that couldn’t be further from the truth. So I say, shame on Meghan Markle and shame on the propaganda in Jamaica who are using her lies to advance their political cause."
He added:
“I want the people of Jamaica to make that decision based on facts. And the Queen loves the people of Jamaica and the Queen is not a racist woman and this implication which Meghan made, that the Queen is, somehow, overseeing a racist Royal Family has done damage, that’s all I am saying. It was always going to do damage. They [Harry and Meghan] knew what they were doing in that Oprah Winfrey interview. They were damaging the monarchy, they were damaging the royal family and that’s why it is so disgraceful. Because all they wanted was big bucks, that’s all they wanted lots of attention.”

For starters, the in-laws of Meghan Markle have been accused of benefitting from the "blood, tears and sweat" of slaves as they arrived in Jamaica. Kate Middleton and Prince William would celebrate culture and history during their time in the said Caribbean island where politicians have been calling for Jamaica to drop Queen Elizabeth as head of state and for a formal acknowledgment of slavery.
The protesters gathered outside the British High Commission in Kingston City. A Jamaican human rights advocate who helped organized the protest called for an apology.
Opal Adisa, as per Express UK, stated:
"Kate and William are beneficiaries, so they are, in fact, complicit because they are positioned to benefit specifically from our ancestors, and we’re not benefitting from our ancestors."
She went on to say that:
“The luxury and the lifestyle that they have had and that they continue to have, traipsing all over the world for free with no expense, that is a result of my great, great grandmother and grandfather, their blood and tears and sweat.”

A group of politicians, business leaders, doctors, and musicians have also written an open letter for the British monarchy to pay slavery reparations. The letter, according to The Independent correspondent Nadine White, read:
“We note with great concern your visit to our country Jamaica, during a period when we are still in the throes of a global pandemic and bracing for the full impact of another global crisis associated with the Russian/Ukraine war."
It furthered:

Meanwhile, royal commentator Daniela Elser claimed that one moment from the Belize trip of Kate Middleton and Prince William revealed how Meghan Markle and Prince Harry failed by losing public sympathy.
