But she’s also someone who has withstood a brutal reckoning for daring to walk away from one of the world’s biggest brands. The hysterical over reaction to her new hair and great skin – the Google search term “Meghan Markle facelift” is trending – is ridiculous, deeply stupid and proves the duchess was right to turn down her invitation to the King’s coronation next weekend.

Why would she put herself in the firing line again when the humdrum move of using a dewy foundation sparks global speculation of buccal fat removal and a chin implant?
I’m so bored that in 2023 how someone looks is seen as a prompt for the world to weigh in.
