Where did this myth come from that she had a harsh upbringing?
Idk but I don't think she sees herself this way. She talks about stuff like doing calligraphy and waitressing on the side while trying to make it as an actress, but she has never talked about struggling while growing up the way some other stars have (like Dolly Parton and Hillary Swank). This "rags to riches" story that some posters keep alluding to didn't come from anything MM has ever said.
I don't think Meghan Markle had a plush upbringing.
Her mother had drug addiction problems and her father was a blue collar lightning director in Hollywood. He made enough money to rent them a house in Los Angeles but her mother was struggling.
The only reason she went to her private high school is because her father won the lottery and decided wisely to spend most of it on her education. She was certainly the poorest kid in her school and did not grow up with massive wealth.
She was around people with a lot of wealth and power but she was always on the precipice. She has spent all of her adulthood climbing the ladder and is now solidly upper class and a world elite as the daughter in law of the English king.
Fact checker here! Meghan haters love to spread false claims that her mom was a drug user/dealer. There’s absolutely no evidence of that, not even from the Markle half-siblings who jump at any chance to smear Meghan’s name. This rumor started because there was a convicted drug dealer named “Dorian Ragland” and that was close enough for the haters apparently.
These types of stories don’t start as innocent mistakes by journalists, they’re calculated misinformation campaigns and they’re accepted as truth still, years later. It’s not just one thing. There are tons of these types of stories that have been published/shared on social media to warp perceptions. And PP, I’m not saying you were trying to spread lies, I’m just explaining how one lie has turned into a commonly held belief.
