Nadine Dorries Claims Meghan Aims to Be 'Queen of the News Cycle'

Former Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries has asserted that Meghan Markle intends to become the "queen of the news cycle," suggesting the Duchess of Sussex is proactively seeking public attention and positioning herself in a way that challenges Catherine, Princess of Wales.

Dorries's commentary, published in the Daily Mail, comes as the Sussexes made a return to British soil. She posits that Meghan "knows how to snatch the spotlight" and that her recent activities indicate a desire to establish an "unofficial branch of the Royal Family."

Dorries noted Meghan's appearance at London's Claridge's Hotel alongside Nobel Prize-winner and activist Malala Yousafzai as an example of her efforts to gain visibility. This event, according to Dorries, made clear Meghan's ambition.

In contrast, Dorries suggests that Catherine's likely response to Meghan's public actions would be to "ignore" them and continue with her own duties, charitable endeavors, and family life. However, Dorries warned that the Royal Family "had better watch out" because Meghan "means business."

Dorries expressed support for Catherine, stating, "I will always support our future queen and I want her to win this new 'war' - but she must up her game." She implied that Meghan will always remain "B-list" and never ascend to a position of true royal leadership.

Dorries's remarks frame the situation as a competition for public attention and influence between the two royal women, with Meghan being portrayed as an aggressive contender for media dominance.
