Tim Dillon Critiques Meghan Markle’s Post-Royal Career

Comedian Tim Dillon has expressed skepticism about Meghan Markle’s attempts to establish a lifestyle brand since stepping back from her royal duties. On a recent podcast, he shared his thoughts on what might come next for the Duchess of Sussex.

Dillon spoke on the show after David Spade mentioned Markle’s earlier success on “Suits” and questioned why she hasn’t returned to acting in that series to capitalize on her fame. “I think Meghan will end up on some kind of talk show,” Dillon suggested, adding that she didn’t really take the path she intended, like pursuing a venture similar to Martha Stewart’s. Remember when she was selling jam at Target? That’s the sort of thing she aimed for in the lifestyle brand realm.

Spade chimed in with, “Jam was an interesting choice. Probably a less crowded market. I can’t think of much else other than Welch’s.” It’s a curious direction, for sure.

Dillon elaborated that Markle might need to rethink her approach. “I could see her going back to England and saying, ‘Let’s try again,'” he remarked, a thought echoed by Carvey who suggested they might have to shake things up for their brand.

The critique didn’t stop with lifestyle choices, as Dillon pointed out that her overall approach might be pushing some people away. “I think we’re all a little tired of her stupidity here. I don’t think it worked out as well as she thought it would,” he remarked, adding that her narrative of living in a castle while being a “victim” felt condescending to some.

Reflecting on her Netflix project, Dillon mused that part of the problem is how she presented herself. “It was as if she was saying, ‘This is what’s called a saucer, and you put a coffee cup on top of it so it doesn’t spill on your illegitimate animals.’ Maybe she needs to adjust the way she communicates her lifestyle lessons.” It’s possible that many viewers were ready to move on from that style of content.

In earlier comments, Dillon mentioned how Markle came into fame during a time when victimhood was highly regarded culturally. “I thought it was a very interesting way to be a victim, and she found a way to be a victim while living in a castle,” he noted. It’s an ironic juxtaposition that makes her story quite fascinating.

As for Prince Harry, Dillon had some thoughts on him too. “Harry seems to be being guided and doesn’t seem to know what’s going on. Perhaps everything is just an adventure for him?” It’s a curious observation that raises questions about his role in their journey.
