[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The criticism around Meghan Markle's new show about how unrelatable her content and lifestyle is to the vast majority of  viewers reminds me of the hate that Gwyneth Paltrow has received since the inception of GOOP for being tone deaf and out of touch.  Meanwhile, Kate Middleton and Princess Diana are beloved public figures even though they are also extremely rich and extremely out of touch.  Why are some women so hated for being successful and rich vs others are not?[/quote]

Eh, I disagree that Kate is out of touch.  She obviously has beautiful jewelry and plenty of designer clothes, but when she is off-duty, she is often wearing more normal brands (like she has been photographed pushing her cart in the grocery store in jeans and a normal sweater (not hundreds of dollars).  And even when she is on-duty, she is often wearing British brands that- while not accessible to everyone- are certainly not at the price point of Armani or even Loro Piana (a Meghan favorite).

Diana was beloved for her charity work.  She actually walked mine-fields that had been cleared and held an HIV positive baby without gloves at a time when nobody famous was doing those things. She wasn't perfect, but she really "walked the walk" to showcase causes that were important to her.[/quote]
