In a recent podcast episode, Meghan Markle stirred controversy by challenging the use of the term “difficult” as misogynistic.
The Duchess claimed that this label is often unfairly assigned to women, but a Royal Correspondent has raised doubts about her assertion.
According to the Daily Express's Royal Correspondent, female staff members at Buckingham Palace have frequently used the term to describe Meghan.
The Royal Correspondent, Richard Palmer, expressed skepticism about Meghan's interpretation of the word “difficult” as solely targeting women.
He noted that many women who worked for Meghan in the palace referred to her as tough, casting doubt on her claims of sexism.
Palmer suggested that Meghan's podcast discussions seem like an attempt to rewrite history rather than address genuine issues.
Despite Meghan's insistence on the gendered implications of being labeled “difficult,” critics point out that even her female colleagues used the term to describe her.
The Duchess of Sussex discussed the pervasive nature of such labels in her podcast episode “To Be or Not to Be,” highlighting how they impact women in various aspects of life.
Her close friends supported her decision to address this topic, emphasizing the need to challenge societal norms.
During her time as a working royal, Meghan faced rumors of being called “Duchess Difficult” by palace staff, who allegedly struggled with her demanding emails sent in the early hours.
Meghan refuted these claims, suggesting that such labels aim to overshadow her positive qualities.
She hinted that terms like “difficult” or the derogatory “b-word” are often used to undermine women's strengths and resilience.
In a surprising revelation, Meghan implied that being labeled as difficult or the b-word could be a tactic to avoid engaging with a woman's true qualities, such as perseverance and strong opinions.
She hinted that these traits, often misconstrued negatively, are what make women resilient and empowered.
By addressing these stereotypes, Meghan aimed to shed light on the complexities of being a woman in the public eye.
In other news, a Netflix docuseries featuring Prince Harry and Meghan is set to premiere before Christmas.
The highly anticipated series, described by Meghan as a love story, was initially planned for a January release to coincide with Harry's autobiography.
However, Netflix has decided to debut the series earlier, leading up to the holiday season.
The contents of the documentary remain secretive, but it promises to offer an intimate look into the couple's post-royal life.
The upcoming series has already sparked controversy, especially with its inclusion of historical events like the “War of the Wales” that plagued the royal family in the 1990s.
Critics have criticized the show for blurring the lines between fact and fiction, portraying controversial meetings and discussions within the royal household.
As the release date approaches, the docuseries is expected to reignite public interest and possibly stir further tensions within the royal family.
