Duchess Meghan: self-created "Challenge" backfires - and celebrity quote causes speculation

On her 40th birthday, Duchess Meghan posted a video that heated the mind.

There is also eager speculation as to whether the "renegade" will distribute it against the royals.

London - Duchess Meghan has had 40 Lenze since August 4th.

The wife of Prince Harry surprised her fans on her birthday not with a family photo, but with a very special clip.

In the video, which appeared on the platform "archewell.com", Meghan Markle can be seen in conversation with actress Melissa McCarthy.

The woman at Prince Harry's side calls on 40 friends to spend 40 minutes each on helping “women get back to work” after the coronavirus crisis.

In this case, the 40 friends would act as individual mentors.

As part of this appeal, the Duchess and the actress are having a great time - and they cannot resist a swipe at the British royal family.

Video from Duchess Meghan: Actor girlfriend Melissa McCarthy uses British cliché - swipe at British royal family?

When Melissa McCarthy realizes that her camera is on, she swiftly swaps her dressing gown for a typically British “tea time” look.

This consists of a flower dress, a hat with an oversized flower, a pearl necklace and gloves.

At the end of the video, the actress drops a comment suggesting the connection between royal dropout Meghan and the British royal family and their preference for tea.

Today is my friend Meghan's 40th birthday (you know, The Duchess of Sussex!).

She called to ask me to contribute 40 minutes of mentorship to support women reentering the workforce.

I think it went ... well?

Melissa McCarthy suggests to her counterpart that Duchess Meghan can best "have tea with [her] chickens" on her 40th birthday.

That could possibly have consequences.

Because the video calls increasingly critical voices on the scene.

Royal expert Angela Levin thinks Meghan's initiative is "totally unrealistic".

For her it borders on absurdity that “a poor woman who doesn't get a job and is out of work is listening to someone who explains to her how to do it in 40 minutes”.

Criticism of the call from Duchess Meghan: Royal dropout is a bad role model - and would not lend a hand herself

In addition, Levin criticizes the fact that Duchess Meghan calls on other people to help, but does not want to get her fingers dirty.

Sophia Walsh, presenter of the Australian "Today Show", suggests a similar notch.

For them it is ridiculous to want to teach the people how to get started again after a long break.

The background: Meghan herself had "quit her job" and ultimately resigned her position as Senior Royal, according to Walsh.

And the founder of the “Talented Ladies Club”, which helps new mothers to find a job, also speaks up.

Hannah Martin believes that Duchess Meghan and her mentor friends "do more harm than good" in the end.

For Martin the action is just a PR stunt that lacks “structure and support”.

Twitter is directed against Duchess Meghan and her action - not just as PR?

Last but not least, it is the network itself that reacts angrily and indignantly to the video of Duchess Meghan - and also does not spare her celebrity friend. "So an unemployed former TV actress accused of bullying her former employees qualifies for an aid program to help women get back into work?" Said a Twitter user.

Another user of the social media service formulates a devastating judgment, with which all the rejection of the video is expressed.

“Time for the celebrities to get back down to earth.

Coach the average woman from your villa in 40 minutes to get back to work?

This is just a huge PR stunt for Markle - nothing else.

She pretends to be a philanthropist while marketing all insights.

Completely insincere. "
