Baby Archie celebrated his first birthday in style this week, and although he might have received well-wishes from his family, the public doesn't seem too eager to jump on board. In fact, some Twitter users expressed their disdain for the "ex-Duchess" by shaming Meghan for her latest video with baby Archie, and the comments are sickening.
But author Emily Giffin decided she was going to take things to a whole other level and completely destroy Markle online in a very disturbing rant.

“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.

Is how hard this whole experience must have been for Meghan - a new mother.Despite receiving hate from some social media users, the majority just want what's best for the couple.

The Queen herself was one of the first to offer her well wishes.But despite the well-wishes, not everyone was impressed by Meghan's latest video celebrating Archie's first birthday.
@CBSNews She's actually reading to the camera. This 'princess' is not going to have a fairytale ending. Sad.— Czarcastic1 (@Czarcastic1)1588799442.0
It wasn't just to celebrate Archie's birthday, Meghan was also reading as part of a charity campaign...
To show support for the save the children's #SaveWithStories campaign to bring food and learning resources to children impacted by the pandemic.But it seems as though that little fact slipped people's minds.

Author Emily Giffin decided to take the criticism to a whole other level.
Plastered across her Instagram account, she decided she was going to savage Meghan while at the same time commending Archie and Harry... This is the most confusing clash of ideas ever.Her words were beyond harsh...
via: Instagram
It started off with an Instagram story that said "Happy Birthday Archie. Go away, Megan."She then went onto post this screenshot of a comment she left:
via: Instagram
“Holy ‘me first.’ This is the Megan show. Why didn’t she film and let Harry read? And why didn’t she take the moment at the end to say ‘he said daddy!’ Because that would make it about Harry for a split second, God forbid," she wrote.She also added this:
"Also, you want privacy for your child so you put out a video (by your authorized biographer) of him .... wearing no pants?! Ooookay ...." Um... he's 1-years-old? Get over it.She, herself, then pulled out a few more receipts...

A "class act" are they?And if things couldn't get worse...

She continued:
"Over recent months my feelings about BOTH Harry and Meghan changed. But I can say from the bottom of my heart that my criticism of Meghan has never had anything to do with race. Further, I understood why she wanted to leave the monarchy and carve out her own path. I do, however, find fault with the way BOTH she and Harry handled things, and those feelings bled over in later posts, including the ones today."And this is how it all ended:
