MEGHAN CROWNED ‘VILLAIN OF THE YEAR’ — Los Angeles Public Shames Her in Outrageous Display!
Posted on December 12, 2025 by Nhung Hồng
Meghan Markle has received many titles in her lifetime, but none quite like this one. A trendy Los Angeles boutique has crowned her “Villain of the Year,” and the city that once greeted her as a Hollywood success story is now putting her on full satirical display. The infamous retailer Kitson has dedicated an entire holiday window to what it calls “holiday hypocrites,” and Meghan has become the unexpected centerpiece — complete with a Santa hat labeled “Montecito Diva.” It is a striking moment where celebrity culture, public backlash, and holiday humor collide.

The display sits on Robertson Boulevard, an artery connecting Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, where tourists and locals alike stop, stare, and snap photos. Meghan’s face dominates one of the mock magazine covers, surrounded by a collage of exaggerated headlines poking fun at her controversies, business ventures, and recent American missteps. Some observers chuckle. Others shake their heads. But few walk past without reacting.

One headline declares her and Prince Harry “the most unpopular kids in school,” referencing polls suggesting the couple are not exactly America’s sweethearts. Another pokes fun at her As Ever jam brand, pointing out that the product is manufactured more than 2,000 miles away from her Montecito home — a detail the display frames as ironic for someone promoting artisanal, California-inspired living. There is also a cheeky jab at Meghan allegedly bringing her dog into a farmer’s market with a strict “no pets” rule, a story that briefly trended on local social media earlier this year.

A Los Angeles resident who stopped to photograph the window said, “It’s satire, of course, but it shows how people see her now — glamorous, dramatic, and a bit out of touch. It’s a far cry from the girl-next-door image Meghan had when she was still on Suits.” The comment reflects a shift many in Hollywood claim to feel: Meghan, once embraced as a promising actress and later as a symbol of reinvention, is now seen by some as a figure defined more by headlines than achievements.

The display even mocks her recent Netflix holiday special, pointing to the $82,000 worth of jewelry she wore despite preaching simplicity and warmth. A passerby observed, “It’s the holiday season — people roast everyone. But it’s funny how much material Meghan gives them. She’s basically the main character of every window.” The remark, though playful, taps into a broader trend: Meghan has become a cultural lightning rod, inspiring both fierce admiration and sharp criticism.

Another headline in the display suggests Meghan “won’t let go of her royal status,” a nod to ongoing public debates about how she and Harry reference their royal connection while building careers in the U.S. One longtime Kitson customer commented, “Americans love reinvention, but they also love calling out hypocrisy. The window is harsh, but it reflects how some people feel — that Meghan wants to be both royal and anti-royal at the same time.”
It isn’t just Meghan who appears in the rogues’ gallery. Katy Perry, George Clooney, Gavin Newsom, and Karen Bass also feature in the lineup, each with their own playful critiques. But the attention inevitably gravitates toward Meghan, whose every public move — from business decisions to wardrobe choices — invites intense reaction. The boutique even revisits its 2020 “Team Meghan & Harry vs. Team William & Kate” T-shirt war, noting that Team Cambridge shirts outsold the Sussex ones two to one. For owner Fraser Ross, this is simply pop-culture anthropology. “It shows who people are rooting for,” he explained. “Meghan used to be popular. But things shift.”
Critics point out that Meghan, who has rebranded herself multiple times — actress, duchess, podcaster, lifestyle entrepreneur — now finds herself the target of a uniquely Californian brand of satire. It is not cruel, but it is undeniably bold. “This is LA,” a passerby laughed. “If they put you in the window, it means you’ve really made it. Or that people are tired of hearing about you.”
For all the ridicule, observers note that the entire display is tongue-in-cheek. Kitson has built a reputation for playful provocations, poking fun at everyone from politicians to A-listers. And Meghan, with her high profile and magnetic public presence, naturally fits their yearly theme of “holiday hypocrisy.”
Still, the moment is telling. Meghan Markle, once a rising Hollywood actress, then a global royal figure, now occupies a curious category in American pop culture — both adored and teased, admired and mocked. Whether she sees the display as cruel or clever remains unknown. But in true LA fashion, one thing is certain: she remains, for better or worse, unforgettable.
