hello Royal folks it's good to see you all here again this is your regular dose of Royal news and Analysis but before we start please subscribe to my channel and click the Bell icon thanks so now picture this Katie prices plastic surgeon The Man Behind Some of the most talked about transformations in chiz decides to Spill the tea on our girl Megan and let me tell you it's not pretty pun absolutely intended first off can we talk about how crazy it is that we're even having this conversation I mean Megan marle former actress Duchess and now apparently according to this surgeon a card carrying member of the nip and Tuck Club who would have fought now I'm not saying there's anything wrong with a little enhancement here and there we've all seen those before and after picks of celebrities who've had a little work done sometimes it's subtle sometimes it's well let's just say noticeable but Megan she always seems so natural so effortlessly beautiful I guess that's why they call it Hollywood magic huh but here's the thing that's really got me scratching my head why now why is this surgeon choosing to come forward with this information at this particular moment is it just a coincidence that this bombshell dropped right when Megan's been making headlines for other reasons I don't know about you but my skepticism meter is off the charts let's take a step back and look at the big bigger picture here Megan's been under intense scrutiny ever since she first stepped into the Royal Spotlight every move she makes every word she says heck even every outfit she wears is dissected and analyzed to death and now we're adding her alleged plastic surgery to the mix it's like the poor woman can't catch a break but here's where it gets really interesting folks this surgeon isn't just talking about Megan he's drawing parallels between her and Katie Price two women who on the surface couldn't be more different Katie's been open about her love affair with plastic surgery while Megan's always maintained a more natural image so what gives according to this surgeon both women might be dealing with something deeper than just a desire to change their appearance he talks about surgery addiction and the psychological aspects that might drive someone to go under the knife repeatedly it's a sobering reminder that even the Rich and Famous aren't immune to insecurities and self-doubt now I'm no psychologist but I've got to say this Theory makes a weird kind of sense think about it Megan's gone from being a relatively Unknown actress to one of the most famous and controversial women in the world the pressure must be immense is it so hard to believe that she might turn to cosmetic procedures as a way to cope but here's where I start to get a little myth folks this surgeon is talking about Megan's true hideous face being exposed come on now that's just plain mean spirited whether she's had work done or not Megan's still a human being with feelings can you imagine how it would feel to have your appearance torn apart like that in public I don't care who you are or what you've done nobody deserves that kind of cruel commentary and let's not even get started on the comparisons to Princess Kate look I get it the media loves to pit women against each other especially when it comes to the royal family but saying Megan can't compare to Kate in 100 years of her life life that's just unnecessary and frankly kind of gross these are two accomplished intelligent women who've both made significant impacts in their own ways why do we have to make it a competition now I know some of you might be thinking but she married into the royal family she should expect this kind of scrutiny and to that I say really does marrying a prince mean you have to give up your right to privacy to make choices about your own body without the whole world weighing in I don't think so let's talk about the bigger issue here our society's obsession with appearance and Perfection we put these impossible standards on celebrities especially women and then act shocked when they turn to cosmetic procedures to meet those standards it's a vicious cycle and honestly it's exhausting think about it how many times have you seen headlines criticizing a celebrity for looking too old or letting themselves go and then when those same celebrities try to maintain their youthful appearance through cosmetic procedures we criticize them for being fake or plastic it's a no- win situation and let's not forget the double standard at play here male celebrities can age gracefully develop dadbods and still be considered hearths but women in the public eye they're expected to remain eternally youthful and Flawless it's unfair it's unrealistic and it's downright harmful now I'm not saying we should blindly accept every celebrities do if there's genuine concern about someone's health or well-being like in the case of Katie Price's multiple surgeries then sure let's have that conversation but let's do it from a place of compassion and understanding not judgment and ridicule speaking of Katie Price can we take a moment to appreciate her honesty about her surgeries love her or hate her you've got to admit the woman is transparent she's been open about her struggles with body image and her relationship with plastic surgery in a world where so many celebrities try to pass off their enhancements as good genes or clean living Katie's honesty is refreshing but here's the million-dollar question is this openness helping or hurting on one hand it's great to see a celebrity being real about the pressures of Fame and the lengths they go to maintain their image on the other hand is it normalizing excessive plastic surgery it's a tricky balance and I don't think there's an easy answer now let's Circle back to Megan if and that's a big if she has had work done does it really matter does it change anything about her character her intelligence or her ability to make a difference in the world I'd argue that it doesn't and yet here we are dissecting her appearance like it's the most important thing about her here's what I think folks whether Megan's had work done or not whether she's addicted to surgery or has never gone under under the knife it's her business her body her choice and the same goes for Katie Price and every other woman out there who's feeling the pressure to look a certain way instead of tearing these women down why don't we focus on building a society where women don't feel the need to constantly alter their appearance to feel valuable where we celebrate intelligence kindness and accomplishments over Youth and conventional Beauty and let's not forget for every celebrity who's open about their cosmetic procedures there are probably dozens who keep it under wraps the fact that we're even having this conversation about Megan shows how far we still have to go in terms of respecting people's privacy and personal choices so here's my takeaway from this whole mess Let's Be Kinder let's be more understanding let's remember that behind every headline every Paparazzi shot every shocking Revelation there's a real person with real feelings whether it's Megan Markle Katie Price or the Girl Next Door they all deserve our empathy and to all you beautiful people out there feeling the pressure to change yourselves to fit some impossible standard remember this you are enough just as you are your worth isn't determined by your appearance your age or how closely you resemble that airbrushed magazine cover at the end of the day whether Megan's had work done or not doesn't change the fact that she's shaken up the royal family brought important conversations about race and privilege to the Forefront and used her platform to advocate for causes she believes in those are the things we should be focusing on not dissecting her appearance like a bunch of vultures so stay tuned my friends because if there's one thing I've learned from watching the Royals it's that the drama never stops and neither do I until then folks thanks for watching we'll see you again with some more fascinating news about the royal family thank you
