Meghan Markle Branded a ‘Liar’ for Saying Her Public Narrative Lacks The ‘Truth’: ‘She Is A...’
Meghan Markle’s latest podcast appearance has ruffled feathers with some things she said perceived as a swipe at the royal family. The Duchess guest-starred in Emma Grede’s podcast Aspire With Emma Grede and talked about her journey as an entrepreneur while also getting candid about her personal life. At one point, the former actress was asked, “If you could rewrite your public narrative from scratch, is there anything you would do differently?” to which she replied, “Yes, I would ask people to tell the truth.” While some think of it as a dig at the royals, experts have slammed Markle as a "liar", claiming that she built her entire brand on such wild claims about the monarchy.
Royal experts Hugo Vickers, Samara Gill, and Matt Wilkinson recently discussed Markle’s latest move on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive. Taken aback by her remarks, Gill called the Duchess a ‘constant liar’ and said, “The fact is she is a constant liar and her whole brand is built on a spin of lies.” The expert continued, “I don't trust a word that woman says. I think it is very, very low for her to insinuate that we should listen to her truth or that the royal family should tell the truth.” Calling out the ‘lack of authenticity’ in the podcast, Gill claimed that the Sussexes’ staff may shed more light on the ‘truth,’ referencing the bullying allegations by Markle’s former staff members during her time in the U.K. Gill added, “I don't want to listen to this woman about truth. The fact of the matter is that she is a constant liar.”
Vickers agreed with Gill’s views about Markle, claiming that the Suits alum must not be fond of experts talking the ‘truth’ about her. He said, “I think Samara and I, as well as others, do tell the truth about her, and I don't think she likes it very much.” However, the expert credited Prince Harry for the fame that his wife has achieved by marrying him. He continued, “No one would actually listen to Meghan Markle if it wasn't for the fact that she married Prince Harry. It's because she's married to Harry that it gives the soap opera quality that seems to appeal to everyone. Otherwise would not really care about her; a lot of other people are doing stuff similar to her on social media anyway.”

During the podcast, Grede asked Markle if she must be furious to see people lying about her, to which the Duchess replied with advice she received from her friend, Serena Williams. Markle said, “My dear friend Serena, she told me years ago: 'A lie can't live forever.’ Eight years is a long time, but not forever.” While on the podcast, the former Suits star also addressed her twerking video from when she was pregnant, which was the subject of a lot of criticism. She said, “That was four years ago, so it's also a really great reminder that with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life – a real, authentic, fun life – that's happening behind the scenes.” The Duchess also admitted to being ‘grateful’ to be back on social media, saying she has finally found a place where she could speak her heart on her ‘own terms.’
