In a shocking turn of events, Meghan Markle found herself at the center of a late-night firestorm as Stephen Colbert launched a brutal and hilarious takedown of her carefully curated public persona. During his latest episode of “The Late Show,” Colbert dissected Meghan’s image with surgical precision, exposing the contradictions that have plagued her narrative since stepping back from royal duties.
What was intended to be a lighthearted evening quickly transformed into a televised roast as Colbert unleashed a flurry of cutting remarks that left the audience roaring with laughter. He questioned Meghan’s authenticity, sarcastically highlighting how she has denounced the royal family while simultaneously cashing in on her titles. “Isn’t it fascinating how someone can renounce the royal family, then build a career off the very titles they said traumatized them?” he quipped, sending shockwaves through viewers.
Colbert’s critique didn’t stop there. He painted Meghan as the “Duchess of commercial grievance,” a woman whose brand thrives on trauma and victimhood, all while residing in a multi-million dollar mansion and sipping from $700 teacups. The audience erupted as he mocked her attempts at female empowerment, suggesting that her activism feels less like a movement and more like a strategic pitch deck.
The late-night host’s relentless jabs culminated in a mocking portrayal of her and Prince Harry’s relationship, where they refer to each other as “M” and “H,” likening their names to a ridiculous secret operation. Colbert’s biting humor struck a chord, revealing a cultural shift as the public’s tolerance for Meghan’s image begins to wane.
As laughter filled the studio, the implications were clear: Meghan Markle has become fair game for satire, and the veneer of her carefully crafted persona has begun to crack. The silence from Meghan’s camp following this savage roast speaks volumes; her meticulously constructed narrative is no longer under her control. In this moment, Meghan wasn’t just roasted—she was unmasked, and the world watched as the illusion crumbled.
