Meghan Markle, known for her challenging nature, is under scrutiny for a recent misogynistic accusation made in a podcast episode.
The Duchess has sparked controversy by claiming that the term “difficult” is inherently sexist and primarily used against women.
However, a Royal Correspondent has raised concerns, pointing out that female assistants at Buckingham Palace have commonly used the term to describe Meghan.
In a recent episode of her Archetypes podcast titled “To Be or Not to Be,” Meghan delved into the discussion of labels such as “tough” and “difficult.”
She argued that these terms are unfairly directed at women in various aspects of life.
Yet, the Daily Express’s Royal Correspondent, Richard Palmer, highlighted that many women who worked closely with Meghan in the royal household often referred to her as “tough.”
Palmer expressed skepticism towards Meghan’s narrative, suggesting that her podcast may be an attempt to rewrite history.
Despite Meghan’s claims about the negative connotations of being labeled “difficult,” it seems that the majority of those using such terms towards her were, in fact, female.
This contradiction has fueled significant interest in Meghan’s podcast episodes.
During the discussion, Meghan’s close friends unanimously supported her decision to address the topic, emphasizing how the term “difficult” permeates women’s lives.
Meghan herself acknowledged that the word is carelessly thrown around nowadays, reflecting on her own experiences of being labeled as such.
Rumors circulated that while working as senior royals, Meghan was nicknamed “Duchess Difficult” by royal staff due to her alleged demanding behavior.
In response, Meghan defended herself by attributing the label to attempts to overshadow her remarkable qualities.
She hinted that terms like “tough” were often used as veiled insults to undermine her strengths and resilience.
In a surprising revelation, Meghan hinted at the term “b**” being a code word for the derogatory term.
She suggested that such labels were employed as tactics to avoid engaging with women’s true characteristics, including their perseverance and strong opinions.
Meghan’s remarks shed light on the challenges faced by women in navigating societal expectations and stereotypes.
