Meghan Markle has made what could be seen as a subtle dig at the Royal Family in a new podcast appearance. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, appeared on the Aspire with Emma Grede podcast to talk all things business.
However, when asked by podcast host and CEO of Good American Grede about her public narrative and if she would do anything differently, Meghan said: “Yes, I would ask people to tell the truth.”
When asked if she feels angry about the fact people didn’t tell the truth, Meghan said: “Peaks and valleys.” It is not known who “people” refers to, however it is believed the comment could refer to the Royal Family or royal aides, with the comment resembling one she had previously made years ago after quitting royal life alongside her husband Prince Harry, 40.
The duchess went on to say in the podcast: “You go through them chapters and you do a lot of work. You do a lot of selfwork and go, what’s the why? It’s happening for a reason.
“And my dear friend Serena, who I’m sure you know, she told me years ago ‘a lie can’t live forever’. Eight years is a long time, but urm, not forever.”
This comment is similar to the one Meghan made in her 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, where the duchess claimed that royal aides were not willing to “tell the truth”.
She told Oprah in 2021: “Only once we were married and everything started to worsen that I came to understand – not only was I not being protected but that they were willing to lie to protect other members of the family. They were not willing to tell the truth to protect myself and my husband.”
The duchess’ recent podcast appearance comes just days after she took to Instagram with a sweet Father’s Day tribute to Prince Harry.
Sharing a video on Instagram of the Duke of Sussex with the couple’s two children Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, the duchess wrote: ” The best. Happy Father’s Day to our favorite guy.”
