Supporters of Meghan Markle have called for Politico to apologise for an essay that labels her a narcissist, who possesses the same "mix of shameless self-aggrandizement and self-confident charm" as more polarising and arguably more dangerous figures such as Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Kanye West, Elizabeth Holmes and Sam Bankman-Fried.

Markle fans say the essay, "2022 Is The Year We All Finally Got Tired of Narcissists" is a "depraved", "garbage take" that fuels racism and misogyny against the American Duchess of Sussex by putting her in the same category as "criminals and anti-semites" and others who have perpetuated "actual evil".
