A lot of people genuinely like Meghan Markle<\/a>. Some have liked her since her time on Suits, others expressly like her because of how she handled herself since she started dating Prince Harry<\/a>. And those people probably consume everything she does. But there\u2019s no doubt that there are some people tuning in to watch the second season of her show\u00a0With Love, Meghan, just to see if she would say something about the British royal family. Curiosity, and all of that.<\/p>\n

However, the Duchess of Sussex<\/a>\u00a0didn\u2019t really go into her experiences with the family during the Netflix lifestyle show<\/a>. No one should have really expected her to. Instead, the series was mostly her talking about food, parenthood, and what her life is like. However, the press tour for it did have one particular tidbit people latched onto.<\/p>\n

During a conversation on The Circuit<\/a>\u00a0with Emily Chang on Aug. 26, Markle spoke a little about what it was like to be a Duchess. \u201cIs there an inherent tension in trying to be relatable while also being a duchess?\u201d Chang asked, to which Meghan was quick to reply in the negative.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I don\u2019t find \u2014 I\u2019m just being myself. So I think, probably, it was different several years ago where I couldn\u2019t be as vocal,\u201d she said, seemingly in reference to the time before she and Prine Harry stepped back from their role as working royals and moved to the U.S. \u201cI had to wear nude pantyhose all the time,\u201d she added, with a laugh.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s be honest, that was not very myself. I hadn\u2019t seen pantyhose since the \u201980s, when they came in the little egg? That felt a little bit inauthentic, but that\u2019s a silly example,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Royal experts weren\u2019t pleased with the comment. \u201cI thought Meghan\u2019s anecdote about pantyhose was ludicrous,\u201d royal expert Kinsey Schofield told Fox News Digital<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cInsinuating that nude tights are somehow archaic while promoting a TV series where she\u2019s glued to a kitchen being Susie Homemaker,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Another royal expert, Richard Fitzwilliams told the outlet that he also views the new season of Markle\u2019s lifestyle series as inauthentic.\u00a0\u201cIt is instructive seeing this whilst wading through the vacuous second series of \u2018With Love, Meghan.\u2019 It\u2019s trivial, smiley and cringey,\u201d he said about Markle\u2019s comment.<\/p>\n

What do the royals think about Markle\u2019s series? \u201cAccording to my sources, Season 2 is not even on the palace\u2019s radar,\u201d Schofield told Fox News Digital<\/a>. \u201cIt poses no impact on the core four: King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales\u2026 When it comes to something as trivial as Meghan Markle making bath salts, the royals have far bigger priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to another royal expert, Hilary Fordwich, the royals are \u201crelieved\u201d that the first season of the show wasn\u2019t merely an excuse for Markle to stand in a kitchen and talk about her time in the British royal family. But now that they know it\u2019s not, there\u2019s no reason to watch.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenior royals have zero interest in watching Meghan Markle<\/a>\u2019s show,\u201d Fordwich said. \u201cIt\u2019s deemed irrelevant while it avoids nakedly commercializing their royal connections.\u201d<\/p>\n

Basically, they\u2019re happy it\u2019s not about them, but they won\u2019t be watching anyway. Or something.<\/p>\n
