Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, sparked renewed controversy with her candid remarks about life within the British Royal Family during an interview with Bloomberg.
On August 26, 2025, coinciding with the release of season two of her show 'With Love, Meghan,' she discussed personal experiences such as the discomfort of wearing nude pantyhose, describing it as inauthentic and contrived.
While the comments may seem minor, royal experts suggest that her choice to share such personal insights in an interview rather than on her streaming series might have aggravated tensions with the Royal Family.
Kinsey Schofield, a royal expert, described Meghan’s remarks as 'pity parties' that garner attention, suggesting that such disclosures could anger the monarchy.
Richard Fitzwilliams, another commentator, labelled the dig as a calculated move to attract headlines, noting that any mention of her royal tenure attracts global media interest.
Meghan’s statements come amid ongoing critiques from former Royal Family members and close associates regarding her and Prince Harry’s relationship with the monarchy.
Markle's remarks also highlight the complex dynamics of public image management for royal figures and the challenges of blending personal authenticity with institutional expectations.
While Meghan continues to build her media presence, including hosting and producing, her comments about royal life contribute to the broader discourse about tradition, authenticity, and modernity in the contemporary monarchy.
