If you thought people would be tired of criticising Meghan Markle’s every move by now, you’d unfortunately be wrong.

Despite years of scrutinising her every move (anyone else remember the whole avocado incident?), both tabloids and members of the public alike continue to find ways to call out the Duchess of Sussex’s behaviour. And this weekend has been no different.

On Saturday, Meghan came under criticism on social media for taking part in an online event to support Michelle Obama’s When We All Vote campaign, which is working to encourage people across the US to use their vote in the 2020 Presidential Election. Her charge? Being ‘political’ and breaking royal protocol.

If Meghan had used her speech to take a clear stance in US politics, then maybe there may have been some legitimacy to those complaints. But in reality, Meghan’s speech was far from some political manifesto against the Trump campaign, as Piers Morgan has suggested – instead, it was an appeal to women across America to use their vote and help other women to make their voices heard.
