Meghan Markle Blames Disorganized Hollywood for Calling Her ‘Hysterical’ and ‘Crazy’ — She Guarantees Her Latest Podcast Will Expose It

Meghan Markle has taken Hollywood to task, condemning the industry’s tendency to label women as “hysterical” and “crazy.” In her latest podcast episode of “Archetypes,” the Duchess of Sussex addressed how these stereotypes perpetuate harmful views of women.

In the episode titled “Decoding of Crazy,” Meghan began by asking listeners, “Raise your hand if you’ve ever been called crazy or hysterical, or what about nuts? Insane out of your mind, completely irrational?” She pointed out that these labels are alarmingly common in our culture.

Meghan specifically criticized two popular TV shows. She played a clip from “How I Met Your Mother,” where Neil Patrick Harris’s character says, “If she’s this crazy, she has to be this hot.” She also highlighted a quote from Jordan Peterson: “I don’t think that men can control crazy women.” Additionally, she cited a scene from “Scrubs” where Sarah Chalke’s character declares, “I cannot hide the crazy a minute longer!”

The Duchess explained how such lines are detrimental, stating, “Calling someone crazy or hysterical completely dismisses their experience and minimizes what they’re feeling. It can lead to people being gaslit into thinking they’re actually unwell, ignoring real issues.”

Meghan emphasized the severe impact of these labels, saying, “The word ‘crazy’ is thrown around so casually and the damage – it’s rotten for society and women, frankly everywhere. From relationships to families being shattered, reputations destroyed, and careers ruined.”

She reflected on her personal experiences, noting the intense scrutiny and harsh headlines she faced, which even led to thoughts of suicide, as revealed in her interview with Oprah Winfrey. This interview further strained her and Prince Harry’s relationship with the royal family.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Are Considering This Schooling Option for Archie & Lilibet — & Of Course, Parent-Shamers Have a Lot to Say

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have kept their kids out of the public eye and, in true Sussex fashion, have strayed from the royal protocols that they or their children would have to follow if they stayed in the monarchy. However, it seems that they will abide by one royal rule for their children, specifically when it comes to their children, Prince

Per the Mirror, the pair are reportedly considering highly prestigious schools in Montecito for their kids, ranging in private schools that are around $40,000 to $60,000 per year. It’s typical for royals to be sent to boarding school, or private institutions. So, unlike many things, they’re following tradition, and are being slammed for it by royal commentators. (Truly, the Sussexes
can’t win).

Royal commentator Lee Cohen said, via Mirror, that it was ridiculous for the pair to send their kids to an insanely expensive school, despite their fight for equality, which makes no sense. “Their supposed commitment to progressive causes is nothing but a façade. If they’re willing to indulge in this epitome of elitism, there is no advocating for equality. Yet they’re willing to pay staggering tens of thousands per year for their children’s education,” he said.

He added, “One of Meghan’s difficulties when she was a working royal living in the UK was her lack of experience of dealing with staff so in Montecito she has kept paid staff to an absolute minimum, but if she’s avoiding the Royal tradition of paying people to do the childcare, she’s certainly sticking to the Royal tradition of sending children to elite schools…. Apart from anything else, Harry wouldn’t countenance risking his children being educated in anything other than in an elite environment.

Choosing an elite school is very much in the royal family tradition.” So, they want the best for their children, and have the means to do so. They’re following a coveted royal tradition, and yet people have a problem with it. There are many reasons why Meghan and Harry may want to send their kids to this school, despite tradition. For one thing, their children’s safety has always been a priority, so keeping them in a private school could ease some stress on that.

(Especially since all eyes have been on the kids for years). Now, is this legit? Yes, apparently, the two are already making steps for their children. Richard Mineards from the Montecito Journal claimed via the same outlet that Harry and Meghan were already looking at schools.

He said: “Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are eyeing entering their two children, Archie and Lilibet, at a local private school, I can exclusively reveal. The Riven Rock twosome were spotted inspecting an institution’s campus last week, bringing them one-step closer to a decision.”

For those who don’t know, Harry and Meghan started dating in 2016, and by April 2018, they were married in a beautiful royal ceremony.

They share two children together named Archie, born in May 2019, and Lilibet Diana, born in June 2021.

KATE MIDDLETON WOWS IN WHITE AT TROOPING THE COLOUR

Kate Middleton returned to the public eye on Saturday:

The Princess of Wales attended Trooping The Colour in London wearing a stunning white and black dress and matching hat for her first public appearance of 2024.

Kate’s been out of the public eye for the last six months following abdominal surgery in January, and her subsequent cancer diagnosis.

Despite a difficult few months, the Princess looked well and in good spirits:

She courageously shared her health news with the public back in March, announcing her decision to stay out of the spotlight as she began a course of “preventative chemotherapy.”

After three months away, the Princess uploaded a statement uploaded to social media on Friday. Giving an update about her health, Kate announced that she’d attend Trooping the Colour. She also confirmed that she’s “making good progress” but that she is “not out of the woods yet”, and that she’s still receiving treatment.

Kate added that she’s experiencing “good days and bad days” and that she plans to “join a few public engagements” over the summer if she continues to feel well.

Trooping the Colour, also known as The King’s Birthday Parade, is an annual military ceremony celebrating the official birthday of the British Sovereign.

The event showcases a patriotic display involving hundreds of soldiers, horses, and musicians in the King’s honour.

This year’s parade involved 242 military working horses, 250 military musicians, 40 pipers and drummers, an extremely large dog, and more than a thousand dual-role soldiers of the British Army’s Household Division. (Below, the Irish Guards’ regimental Irish Wolfhound mascot Turlough Mor.)

The parade begins at Buckingham Palace with a procession down The Mall to Horse Guard’s Parade.

The Princess of Wales was joined by her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

The Wales children looked smart in their coordinating outfits, matching their mother’s monochrome ensemble. This is the third time the children have accompanied their mother at the parade to date.

This year, Kate rode in the Glass Coach.

The Glass Coach is one of the primary ceremonial carriages of the British royal family. Created in 1881, it was purchased by The Crown for the coronation of King George V in 1911.

The Glass Coach makes appearances at various state events each year but is most famously known for its role in royal weddings. It transported Princess Margaret to her wedding in 1960 and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981. It also carried Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh after their wedding in 1947.

This is the first time in 12 years that Kate has processed in the Glass Coach — I expect it was a decision made for her comfort, to shelter her from the cold and rain given her diagnosis. I believe Queen Elizabeth II rode in the coach during 2012’s Trooping the Colour for similar reasons.

The weather was particularly unseasonable this year. It was a very wet and windy day:

During some moments of the parade, the glass windows became misty with condensation. The princes and princesses attempted to clean the windows with their hands so they could still wave to the gathered crowds:

William didn’t join his immediate family in the carriage. As is tradition, the keen and experienced horseman took part in the procession on horseback. This year, he saddled a horse named Darby.

In his role as honorary Colonel of the Welsh Guards, the Prince wore the regiment’s distinctive red uniform and traditional bearskin cap.

He rode alongside his uncle, Prince Edward and aunt, Princess Anne.

King Charles usually rides in the parade on horseback too. This year, he decided to travel by carriage, following his own cancer diagnosis and treatment.

He rode in the Scottish State Coach with the Queen.

Here’s the Duchess of Edinburgh in the procession. She opted for a beautiful sunny yellow hue:

Her Daughter, Lady Louise in blue florals:

The procession arrived at Horse Guard’s Parade where the traditional ceremony took place:

Once the Sovereign has arrived at Horse Guard’s Parade in Whitehall, they are greeted by a Royal salute and carry out an inspection of the troops, who are fully trained and operational soldiers wearing the ceremonial uniform of red tunics and bearskin hats.

After the military bands have performed, the escorted Regimental Colour, or flag, is processed down the ranks of soldiers. Over one hundred words of command are used by the Officer in Command of the Parade to direct the several hundred soldiers.

Once the Foot Guards have marched past the Sovereign, they ride back to Buckingham Palace at the head of the soldiers, before taking the salute again at the Palace from a dais.

The king, on the dais, watching the proceedings:

This year, the Irish Guards ‘trooped their colour’ (or carried their flag) through the ranks.

The practice dates back to the 17th century when the colours served as rallying points on the battlefield. The honour to ‘Troop the Colour’ rotates through the five regiments of Foot Guards.

Kate and the Wales family watching from a nearby window.

Last year, the Princess had a seat outside on the dais (pictured below). I expect she watched from inside this year due to the awful weather and her health condition.

After the ceremony, the Royal Family made their way inside Buckingham Palace, to the famous balcony.

Here, they watched the conclusion of the parade, an RAF fly-past.

Here’s a stunning view of the display from above:

On Saturday afternoon, the Prince and Princess’s team uploaded a video to their official social media account. The 20 second clip features Kate, George, Charlotte and Louis leaving Buckingham Palace and getting into the Glass Coach. Watch carefully and you’ll see an enthusiastic Louis hop down a set of white steps as his mother, sister and brother walk across a red carpet:

Meghan Markle’s dad reveals one decision Prince Harry made that ‘never made sense’ to him

Thomas Markle has spoken out as he approaches his 80th birthday.

Prince Harry’s ongoing troubled relationship with his father the King and brother Prince William is well known – but the relationship between wife Meghan Markle and her father is also strained.

The Duchess of Sussex and her father, Thomas Markle, has been estranged from his daughter since 2018 and there has reportedly been no contact since.

Mr Markle has never met his daughter’s husband.

The 79-year-old, who turns 80 in July, has also never met his two grandchildren – five-year-old Archie and three-year-old Lilibet.

The retired lighting director now lives in Mexico, just 250 miles from his daughter’s home in California, and said he is baffled by this.

Speaking to the Mail Online, he said: ” When I reflect back on my life, as you do when you are approaching 80, that’s one of the questions I cannot find an answer for

“Why didn’t Harry ever come to meet me? He has the resources to fly around the world – and does – but why didn’t he come to see me, particularly when people in the royal household like Jason Knauf [Harry and Meghan’s former communications secretary] were urging him to do so?

“That has never made sense to me.”

Mr Markle, who has previously given a number of interviews to the press about his relationship with his daughter, said he felt empathy for King Charles, who has rarely seen Harry’s children since his younger son moved to the US.

He told the Mail: “He [The King] is going through cancer treatment and I’m not in the best of health. I’m not afraid of dying. It is what it is.

“I have so many questions I’d like to ask Meghan and Harry. The main one being, why have they treated not only me but the Royal Family and the King so badly?”

 

Piers Morgan takes aim at Meghan once again

Piers Morgan takes aim at Meghan once again as he shrugs off record-breaking Ofcom complaints

The former Good Morning Britain presenter pointed out that none of the Government-related complaints against him were upheld.

Piers Morgan shrugged off a record amount of Ofcom complaints

Former Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan has shrugged off the record number of Ofcom complaints that he received during his time on the show.

Back in March, Piers stormed out of the studio after an on-air spat about Meghan Markle with weatherman Alex Beresford which led him to later quit the ITV show and thousands of people to complain to Ofcom.

The 56-year-old pointed out that none of the Government-related complaints against him were upheld, writes The Mirror.

Piers then referred to Meghan as “Princess Pinocchio” as he suggested that complaints made against him for remarks he made about her wouldn’t be upheld either.

Over 54,453 people flocked to Ofcom to complain about the presenter after Piers suggested that he didn’t believe the Duchess of Sussex when she said she felt suicidal during her explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.

It overtook Diversity’s Black Lives Matter performance on Britain’s Got Talent as the most complained about moment ever.

Piers also bagged the sixth, seventh and 10th places after his interviews with Helen Whateley MP and Victoria Atkin MP.

Sharing an article revealing he had nabbed four spots in the top 10 most complained about moments, Piers tweeted an emoji wearing sunglasses.

He then tweeted a BBC article about the complaints, suggesting that Ofcom had seen “unprecedented” numbers of complaints with Piers attributing to a large portion of them.

Piers wrote in response: “What this doesn’t say is that NONE of the Govt-related complaints against me were upheld, and I don’t expect the complaints relating to Princess Pinocchio to be either. How can @Ofcom possibly conclude I must believe a proven liar…?”

Ofcom confirmed in the report that “in many of the cases above, [they] did not find the issues warranted an investigation”.

A spokesperson added: “We’re a nation of TV lovers, and it’s kept us entertained and informed like never before during lockdown. From time to time viewers see things that trouble them, and that’s where we come in.”

Prince Harry ‘misses’ unwell Kate Middleton but can’t mend ties

LONDON, UK: Prince Harry and Kate Middleton were once quite close to each other but things reportedly began to worsen when Harry decided to marry Meghan Markle and they eventually separated from the royal family.

However, now the Duke of Sussex reportedly regrets the distance.

Harry used to share ‘uncomplicated relationship’ with Kate

Royal author Tom Quinn told The Mirror, “He really misses that warm, uncomplicated relationship, and he is torn between loyalty to his wife and regret about the loss of the woman he was so close to.”

“Losing Kate was Harry’s second great loss after losing his mother,” he asserted.

Meghan Markle wants Kate Middleton to ‘apologize’ to her

The expert also mentioned that Meghan does not feel the same way as her husband.

He explained, “Megan doesn’t feel guilty about Kate, because she feels that Kate should’ve been the one person in the Royal Family to back her against every difficulty.”

Quinn continued, “Apart from anything else, Meghan knew Kate was an outsider, so she just couldn’t understand why Kate always towed the Royal line rather than supporting her, Meghan, the other outsider.”

The author shared that though the Duchess of Sussex has been shocked by Kate’s cancer, “she can see no way to patch up the relationship simply because it has become so poisonous.”

“She also doesn’t want people saying that she is trying to make things up with Kate just because Kate is ill. Meghan still feels Kate was in the wrong and should apologize before they try to build bridges,” Quinn added.

Kate Middelton’s shocking health update

This came after in March, Kate released a video statement on Instagram, letting people know about her health.

She said, “It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family. In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London. At the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous.”

The mother-of-three further mentioned, “The surgery was successful, however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.”

“My medical team therefore advised I should undergo preventive chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment. This of course comes as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this for our young family.”

“Having William by my side is a great source of comfort, and the love and support and kindness that has been shown from so many of you. As a family, we need some time, space, and privacy while I complete my treatment,” she added.

Harry claims he’s trying to help William’s kids as ‘one will end up like him’

In an interview with Bryony Gordon from the Telegraph the Duke of Sussex, who has just released his tell-all memoir Spare, said he was someone “who likes to fix things” apparently alluding to the Royal Family.

Prince Harry, who now lives in California, appears to believe he can “fix” things for his niece and nephews, George, Charlotte and Louis, although he admitted the Prince of Wales has made it “very clear” the children are “not my responsibility”.

Harry said: “As I know full well, within my family, if it’s not us, it’s going to be someone else.

“And though William and I have talked about it once or twice, and he has made it very clear to me that his kids are not my responsibility, I still feel a responsibility knowing that out of those three children, at least one will end up like me, the spare.”

In an expansive conversation with the newspaper from his Montecito home the Duke discusses his feelings for the press and their relationship with the Royal Family, which he says he is trying to “save from themselves”.

The 38-year-old royal claims he will be “crucified” for making this observation but he says it is his “life’s mission” to put right what he calls the “wrongs” that he claims drove out his family from the UK.

Apparently blaming the British press for his family leaving the country, the Duke makes reference to the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, and TV presenter and former flame Caroline Flack who tragically took her own life aged 40.

He says he reached “breaking point” when he came home to find his wife Meghan in “floods of tears” while she was nursing their son Archie. He said his wife “would be dead” if she read the newspaper stories about them.

This week King Charles, Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales, took part in their first public engagements since the publication of Prince Harry’s book which has revealed in intense detail his own feelings about them and Camilla, the Queen Consort,

Both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace have so far refused to comment on the 416-page piece of ghost-written literature.

A YouGov poll has found the popularity of Harry has fallen since his book was published with 68% of 1,691 adults, polled on Tuesday and Wednesday, having a negative opinion about him while 24% thought positively.

The online research data group said the figures meant the duke had his lowest ever net favourability rating of minus 44, down from minus 38 last week, which had been his previous record low.

Source says Meghan is willing to be the BIGGER PERSON in ending royal feud

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reportedly extended an olive branch to Princess Kate, according to insiders.

The Sussexes, whose rapport with Prince William and Princess Kate has soured over time, are said to be seeking reconciliation.

After their royal departure and relocation to the US, Meghan and Harry have openly criticized the royal couple, most notably in a 2021 interview and Harry’s 2023 memoir, “Spare.” Amidst these tensions, both Kate’s recent cancer diagnosis and King Charles’ illness have unfolded.

Prince Harry promptly visited his father post-diagnosis but has yet to meet with Kate. Sources suggest Meghan is eager to present herself as a peacemaker and sympathizes with Kate’s challenging circumstances.

Meghan reportedly wishes to move beyond the discord for the sake of healing, ready to release any resentment.

The source told Closer: “Meghan’s desperate to come across as the bigger person and end this feud between them – appearing like some sort of royal saviour could only do her image good.

“And, despite all their bad blood, her heart does go out to Kate – she can only imagine how hard this situation must be for her.

“Meghan has made it clear she’d love nothing more than to move past all the nonsense and find a way towards healing for everyone’s sake. She’s ready to let the anger and bitterness go.

“Of course, it’s not really up to her and Harry, all they can do is continue to reach out and offer olive branches.”

The Sussexes’ gestures of reconciliation continue, though it remains uncertain if the Cambridges will reciprocate.

Prince Harry infuriated after King Charles refuses to provide financial support

Prince Harry was “infuriated” after King Charles refused to put Meghan Markle on the royal family payroll, a new book claims.

The monarch reportedly broke the news to the “spare” prince in 2016, just moments after Harry revealed he planned on marrying the American actress, royal correspondent Robert Jobson wrote in his new book, “Our King.”

“Are you sure, Harold?” Prince William asked his younger brother.

Then-Prince Charles delivered the second blow — rather than congratulating Harry, the future king said he couldn’t afford to pay Meghan as a member of the royal family because he was already bankrolling Camilla and William’s growing family, Jobson states in an excerpt obtained by the Daily Mail.

“This infuriated Harry,” wrote Jobson, who also authored two books on Princess Diana alongside her former bodyguard Ken Wharfe.

The “bombshell” led to one of the initial falling-outs between father and son.

Charles stopped taking Harry’s calls after his son swore at him and repeatedly asked for funds.

“When the Queen asked Charles why he hadn’t given in, he told her that he wasn’t a bank,” Jobson wrote.

Jobson theorizes that all the incidents Harry and Meghan have publicly whined about — such as the spat between Kate Middleton and Meghan in the leadup to her wedding, when the actress said the then-pregnant Duchess must have been suffering from “baby brain” — were made bigger in their minds because of King Charles’ initial refusal to accept Meghan as a working, patrolled royal.

Harry had a strong inkling that William disapproved of Meghan and considered their romance a “whirlwind affair,” the book claims.

Meghan felt Kate was “stand-offish” from their initial meeting, forming an uncomfortable relationship that continued through their years as in-laws.

Even Queen Elizabeth became turned off by the couple’s antics, particularly after their 2021 interview with Oprah in which they heavily criticized the monarchy and accused the family of not accepting Meghan out of racist ideals.

The late Queen described the Sussexes’ behavior as “quite mad,” Jobson wrote, and later came to believe that Harry was “so consumed” by his love for his wife that it was “clouding his judgment.”

Amidst turmoil within the royal family, fans rally in support of Meghan Markle, proclaiming, ‘Meghan possesses all the qualities of a future queen’

Prince Harry believes Meghan Markle to be more fit for Queen than Kate Middleton

Prince Harry is believed to have ambitious plans for wife Meghan Markle within the royal family.

Speaking to former GB News journalist Dan Wootton, royal expert Angela Levin claimed the Duke of Sussex wants the duchess to become the Queen in the stead of Kate Middleton and Camilla.

“He believes – and this must surprise you – that Meghan is the one who should take over as Queen,” she shared.

“He does what he’s told, and he thinks that it was very bad that Meghan wasn’t questioned about what should be done to make the royal family up to date,” Levin added.

“And [Meghan] said herself that she felt that they should have asked her what should be done rather than Kate because she is a self-made woman and she’s got much more experience.”

For the unversed, Harry and Meghan gave up on their royal positions when they moved to the US with their children four years ago.

They have since sparked animosity with the rest of the royal family by hurling insults and levelling allegations at them during interviews.

Though their return to the royal family is currently not on the cards, the Spare author is still fifth in line to the throne, as well as one of the counsellors of the state.

Harry can only be King in case of unlikely absence of Prince William or his three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
