The Spin

Right narrative

Meghan's appearance at a luxury retreat is a breathtaking fall from grace for someone who married into the Royal Family. After weaponizing a tearful Oprah interview to attack the late Queen Elizabeth II in her final years and causing unforgivable pain to a woman who devoted her life to selfless service, expecting Australians to embrace this calculated return is delusional.

Left narrative

Meghan isn't accepting payment for speaking at this women-led empowerment event — she's supporting a friend's retreat as a favor. The manufactured outrage over ticket prices for a luxury weekend experience completely misses the point that this appearance demonstrates genuine support for women's initiatives, not opportunism.
