She was an American mixed race divorcee with a strong personality at the time of her wedding and people loved her, so the 'Stepford' wife excuse doesn't wash.

The GBP expects Royal wives to act a certain way. Prior to the wedding, Meghans profile and expectations of her were lower. After the wedding the comparisons to Kate started in earnest. She didn't comply to what we expect of the monarchy and her popularity plummeted.
