MEGHAN Markle has taken a “subtle swipe” at the Royal Family as she reveals how she’d change the public narrative on her podcast.
The Duchess of Sussex appeared on her podcast alongside friend Emma Grede, CEO of Good American and founding partner of Kim Kardashian’s Skims line, where she seemed to take several digs at the Royal Family.

On the podcast, Meghan revealed that she wanted people to “tell the truth” about her, when asked “if you you could rewrite your public narrative from scratch, is there anything you would do differently?”
The Duchess went on to share advice that she had receieved from Serana Williams regarding how she was viewed in the public after falling love with Prince Harry.
“My dear friend Serena, she told me years ago: ‘A lie can’t live forever,'” said Meghan.
She added: “Eight years is a long time, but not forever.”
The former Suits star also revealed she didn’t feel her voice was truly empowered during her time as a royal — and said it only returned after stepping back and reclaiming her Instagram account.
Meghan added: “It was a great way to get my voice back.”
It comes after the Duchess broke her silence on her cringey twerking video after it sparked wild conspiracy theories.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, posted the footage earlier this month showing her and Prince Harry dancing in a hospital room as she tried to induce daughter Lilibet’s birth in 2021.
But conspiracy theorists bizarrely claimed that Meghan’s bump was not real, suggesting she was wearing a prosthetic pregnant belly in the clip.
Now, almost a fortnight after sharing the 80-second video with her three million followers on Instagram, the ex-Suits actress has defended her decision to post the personal footage.
She called on people to “tell the truth” about her and claimed that the video was a chance for her to share behind the scenes of her “authentic” life.
Speaking on Dragon’s Den star Emma Grede on the entrepreneur’s Aspire podcast, she said: “You have to be authentic.
“Did you see my “Baby Momma” dance? That wasn’t yesterday, that was four years ago.
“It’s 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.
“I’m just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms.”
The footage – released to celebrate Lilibet’s fourth birthday on June 3 – showed heavily pregnant Meghan making rowing movements and shimmying her shoulders beside the hospital bed.
But it was slammed by royal experts as cringey and “hard to watch”.
Commmentator Ingrid Seward accused The Sussexes of invading their own privacy.
She told The Sun: “They can do what they like but why put it online?
“Does Meghan have no boundaries? I think it’s vulgar, unnecessary, attention-seeking.
“They make such a point about privacy and security and then they put stuff out there. Meghan can’t resist putting it out there.
“I think it’s completely hypocritical for everything she stands for. It’s very embarrassing.”
It comes after Meghan Markle shared a rare video showing Archie and Lilibet to wish Harry a Happy Father’s day.
And Price Louis stole the show today as he joined members of the Royal Family to mark the King’s official birthday.
