Role Modelling

Meghan Markle chats motherhood with 'dear friend' Sophie Grégoire on podcast

Look on ye great unwashed and

tremble with unrequited notice as 

these refined, unapproachable women

of distinction pose and purr in their

self-appointed roles of liberated

progressives, privately venal and

self-adoring. Portraying themselves

as champions of the unadorned every

woman wedded to her societal role

too engaged in the pedestrian existence

that life has assigned, not the elite

privileged of the celebrity class. There

they are gloating and flaunting their

unique status in the pretense of briefly

abandoning child and chore to the shared

pleasures of tippling and recreational

chats in a shared congratulatory escape

from the burdens of supervising the hired

help around their opulent homes; viewers

of their recorded pantomime transfixed in

adoration in the belief that these tigers

represent their own future of lighthearted

camaraderie, no worldly cares, a time and

place that will elude them, a mere mirage.
