Megan Markle, often self-referred to as the Duchess of Sussex, found herself in an unexpected predicament recently, one that reportedly left her quite agitated. The incident took place at a customs checkpoint in Seattle, where a customs officer displayed the audacity to treat her like any other traveler. According to a blind item that circulated, when Megan presented her passport—which bore her actual name—the officer addressed her as "Ms. Markle." This seemingly innocuous address struck a nerve with her.
True to her dramatic persona, Megan felt compelled to correct the officer, likely expecting an immediate apology, perhaps even a deep bow, and maybe even a commemorative plaque celebrating her supposed greatness. Instead, the officer, evidently unshaken by her attempts at correction, responded coolly with a question: “Does that mean your passport is incorrect?” In that moment, she was rendered speechless, a rare feat for someone known for her outspoken nature. The silence that followed must have been particularly sweet for the officer, who likely had no idea he had just punctured the inflated bubble of her royal fantasies.
It must be a bitter realization for Megan to confront the fact that, despite her persistent insistence on being a duchess, her passport still identifies her as Rachel Meghan Markle. This stark reality stands in stark contrast to the image she has cultivated for herself, where she is often portrayed as a figure of grace and nobility. The tension between her royal aspirations and the unyielding truth of her identity must weigh heavily on her, especially when a customs officer, a mere functionary in the grand scheme of things, refuses to indulge her self-styled nobility.
Let’s not forget the dramatic tales Megan spun during her interview with Oprah, where she lamented about how the royal family supposedly confiscated her passport, effectively trapping her in a gilded cage. It was a heartrending narrative that stirred sympathy until the public recalled her ability to travel extensively, including a lavish baby shower in New York City. It seems her "stolen" passport had a mysterious knack for returning to her at opportune moments, just in time for luxury travel.
As an American citizen, she would not have been issued a British passport, nor could she qualify for a U.S. diplomatic passport. This means that, at the end of the day, she was just like any other traveler, navigating the complexities of international travel. However, in her mind, she is not just anyone; she is the Duchess of Sussex, an identity she clings to with fervor, as if it were a lifeline in a sea of fading relevance. One can almost imagine her wishing for a special note on her passport, something that would command respect and immediate attention, like "Important Royal Person—Bow Immediately." Unfortunately for Megan, the only thing inscribed on that document is her plain, unadorned name.
