Meghan says she would ‘ask people to tell the truth’ to rewrite narrative

Meghan Markle breaks silence on viral clip of her twerking while in labour
  • Meghan Markle stated in a recent podcast interview that if she could rewrite her public narrative, she would "ask people to tell the truth," alluding to a persistent "lie" from eight years ago.
  • On Emma Grede’s Aspire podcast, Markle did not specify the lie but referenced Serena Williams' advice that "a lie can’t live forever," noting that eight years is a long time but not forever.
  • The Duchess of Sussex's comments echo past grievances, including her 2021 Oprah interview, where she claimed the Palace perpetuated falsehoods and a disagreement with Kate over flower girl dresses before her wedding.
  • In the podcast, Markle reflected on personal growth and the reasons behind challenges, while also acknowledging the differences between her current life and her past as an actress.
  • Markle addressed a viral video from four years ago, calling it a reminder of her "real, authentic, fun life" and expressed feeling liberated to share her life on her own terms on social media.
