Meghan Markle under scrutiny as ‘Duchess difficult’ mistake exposed

Meghan Markle has been challenged over her suggestion men leverage the label “difficult” against women. In the latest episode of her Archetypes podcast, Meghan dissected the label “difficult” and suggested its use was misogynistic. But the term has more than often than not been used by female aides working in Buckingham Palace, the Daily Express’ Royal Correspondent said.Daily Express’ Richard Palmer told the Royal Round up: “It’s tempting to see a lot of what Meghan’s been saying in those podcasts as her attempt to rewrite history. “This week, for example, she was talking about the label ‘difficult’ and being labelled ‘difficult’. “She was labelled difficult by mainly women who were mainly working for her at the Palace in the royal household. “She tried to say it’s sort of misogynistic to label women ‘difficult’ but it was actually mainly women who were calling her that.” Meghan Markle’s suggestion that the label ‘difficult’ is misogynistic has been debunked (Image: GETTY) Richard Palmer said Meghan appears to rewrite history in the latest episode of her podcast (Image: FACEBOOK/@The Royal Round Up )”It’s been the same most weeks, so I think that’s why there’s been a lot of interest in Meghan’s podcast,” Mr Palmer said.”Because it just looks like an attempt to rewrite history.”In her latest podcast episode titled “To B or not to B”, the Duchess of Sussex reflected on how the word “difficult” is systematically leveraged against women, whether it is in the workplace or in life.All of her close friends unequivocally agreed she had to tackle that issue in an episode as the word has become pervasive in all aspects of women’s life.READ MORE: Harry and Meghan named ‘more influential’ than King Charles Richard Palmer and host Pandora Forsyth discussed the label ‘difficult’ in Meghan’s podcast (Image: FACEBOOK/@The Royal Round Up ) Meghan Markle took a thinly-veiled swipe at those who labelled her ‘Duchess Difficult’ (Image: GETTY)”They said it gets thrown around so casually now,” Meghan confessed in a voice note. Meghan, who herself has repeatedly been called ‘difficult”, took a thinly-veiled swipe at those who branded her “Duchess Difficult” during her time in the Firm. While Meghan and Harry were still serving as working royals in the Royal Family, reports circulated that suggested the mother-of-two was given the label “Duchess Difficult” among royal staffers.Royal commentators claimed the former actress would fire off emails in the early hours of the morning and ask her staff “huge demands”. DON’T MISS:Meghan Markle savaged after taking swipe at Jordan Peterson [REPORT]     Meghan and Harry issued three word warning about relationship by aide [REPORT]     Meghan Markle could give Lilibet 150k special gift [REPORT]      Meghan Markle explored the terms ‘difficult’ and the ‘b-word’ in the latest episode of her podcast (Image: GETTY)In response, Meghan Markle said that the label is often leveraged against women to “hide some of her really awesome qualities”. The Duchess also explored the term ‘b****’, which she referred to as ‘the B-word’ before suggesting that “difficult” was “really a codeword for the b-word”. Meghan chose to avoid talking about her own personal experiences directly but said: “So, perhaps the truth is that labelling a woman as the ‘B-word’ or as ‘difficult’ is often a deflection.”A way to hide some of her really awesome qualities, her persistence or strength or perseverance, her strong opinion, maybe even her resilience, and those are the very qualities we’re going to be uncovering today.”READ NEXT:Meghan Markle’s bid to get Kate on podcast dismissed amid ongoing rowMeghan Markle ‘playing slightly dangerous game’ with political pushQueen put foot down on Sussexes’ plan to avoid Wessex-like ‘disaster’Meghan accused of ‘showing off’ as new crown cypher emerges on letterMeghan & Kate not as ‘popular or influential’ as more ‘beloved’ royal
