The other day, a couple of Aussie newscasters were poking fun of the Duchess of Sussex. This was not unusual as they are absolutely obsessed with the Duchess over there. You have to wonder if their economy is okay, and the aborigines are okay and if there are no fires for these folks to focus upon. Because all they do is talk about Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
But one interesting thing they brought up was Beyonce. Apparently, according to them, Meghan had told someone in that dreadful palace (poor Cinderella!) that she wanted to be the "Beyonce of the UK."
And this one commenter quipped that Beyonce and Meghan could talk about "Crazy in Love" one of Beyoncé's songs. And they had a good laugh about it, those effing clowns.
But on second thought, they could be on to something. Meghan and Beyoncé met once at the palace and so they do know each other. They are obviously from very different worlds. Beyonce was born in Texas. Meghan was born in California. Beyonce is a music genius. Meghan, now part of the British aristocracy is more political (UN) with some acting chops. They have a similar complexion but that doesn't mean Meghan wanted to be Beyoncé. There is room for Meghan to be Meghan and Beyoncé to be Beyoncé just like there is room for Ivanka Trump to be Ivanka Trump and Miley Cyrus to be Miley. Imagine that Ivanka moves to the UK and these idiots are accusing her of trying to be the Miley Cyrus of the UK. I mean, how stupid!
These are two women from two very different worlds and this accusation that Meghan wanted to be the Beyoncé of the UK reeks with racial undertones.
But nevertheless, Beyonce would indeed make a very fascinating guest on Meghan's podcast.
They can discuss motherhood which they do have in common. They can discuss fashion. They can discuss what it is like to own a private island (Beyoncé and Jay Z, her husband reportedly own their own island). They can discuss girl power, and investments and things like that. They can discuss marriage. Beyoncé and her husband have been together for more than a decade and she could probably provide tips on how to sustain a long-term marriage--and still remain "crazy in love".
Those bozos were trying to turn Beyoncé's achievements into a negative as they typically do with women like Beyoncé and then they were trying to impute that negativity to Meghan by association. Meghan needs to take what they did and positivize it. They can discuss universal subject matter that pertain to all women such as motherhood, marriage and family. It would be very well received.
