Meghan Markle allegedly made fun of a moniker that her palace staff had given her in a “veiled swipe.”
During the most recent installment of her since-canceled podcast Archetypes, Meghan made a subtle reference to her moniker, “Duchess Difficult.” She was allegedly given the nickname by her employees because each morning she sent them emails with “huge demands.”
Meghan’s guests on the broadcast included comedian Trevor Noah, Judd Apatow, and Andy Cohen. During her lecture, Meghan discussed “labels that try to hold women back.”
“I was just chatting with my girlfriends recently and I was asking them for the show, what sort of archetypes, you think we should discuss and almost immediately unequivocally they all said yes,” Meghan said to Mellody Hobson and Victoria Jackson in a different conversation.
She continued: “That’s the word you have to talk about, ‘difficult’.”
In addition, she discussed “roles and stereotypes that are attributed to you, that don’t quite fit the full person that you are, and tropes and boxes that some may try to squeeze you into.”
She said, reading a couplet by the Greek poet Dinos Christianopoulos, “‘Why didn’t you take care of my burial?'” But up until then, you overlooked the fact that I was a seed.
Meghan was “clever” to make a “veiled reference to the restrictions in the Royal Family,” according to royal analyst Phil Dampier.
He clarified, stating, “It’s a clever way of doing it because she’s not saying anything directly, but people can still interpret it how they want.”Then, if someone is offended.
