Part 9/12:
A recurring theme is Megan's complex relationship with her royal identity. She claims to be just "being herself," but her attire (notably her $1,500 shoes) and her references to the "tensions" of royal life seem at odds with her self-perception. Critics suggest her narrative about royal racism and her struggles with royal protocols are exaggerated or insincere, pointing to her behavior as performative—using cues like covering her mouth or avoiding direct answers indicating discomfort or deception.
