“I will be myself and speak without filters….” Meghan Markle, the most controversial member of the British royal family in recent times, explained how she would behave in her highly anticipated podcast with these words. And as a result, she did what she said. In her first podcast, where she hosted tennis star Serena Williams and discussed “ambitious women”, she again “dropped bombs” towards the British royal family. She repeated that she was suffering behind closed doors and made another very striking statement: “My son Archie narrowly escaped a fire. Instead of running to his side, I had to continue my duty…”
On May 19, 2018, Meghan Markle, who officially joined the British royal family by marrying Prince Harry in a wedding that the whole world watched with great interest, has not fallen off the top of the agenda since that day.
SPOKEN AGAIN
First, her unconventional behavior during her short stay in the family, then her giving birth to her first baby in great secrecy, and finally her moving to her country, the USA, with her husband. The same situation continues for the 41-year-old former actress Meghan Markle, who divided the public even while she was still in the British Royal Family, which is called “firm”, and whose lovers love her and haters hate her.
FIRST GUEST IS TENNIS STAR SERENA WILLIAMS
The reason why she has been on the agenda for the last two days is the first episode of the podcast called Archetypes, where she will have famous women as guests. Markle, who has two children, a boy and a girl named Archie and Lilibet, from her marriage to Prince Harry, hosted tennis star Serena Williams for her first podcast. Tennis star Williams, who is said to be close friends with Markle, discussed “ambition” and “ambitious women”.
At one point in the conversation, Meghan Markle explained that society applies a double standard to women who are described as “ambitious”. She then went on to say: “It seems to be a terrible thing for some people when a woman is ambitious.” After a while, it turned out that these words were also a criticism of the British royal family.
‘I DIDN’T FEEL NEGATIVITY UNTIL I STARTED DATING HARRY’
During the conversation, Markle reminded that she was also described as “ambitious” after she started dating Prince Harry. Meghan Markle dwelled on this issue for a long time. “It wasn’t until I started dating my current husband that I felt the negative connotations behind the word ‘ambitious’,” said Markle, who still bears the title of Duchess of Sussex despite the family separation. Markle also talked about the pain she suffered behind closed doors because of this. Then she continued: “Obviously for some people it’s a very bad thing for a woman to be ‘ambitious’ and it’s really hard not to feel the negativity behind it.”
Markle, who made harsh remarks against the British royal family in an interview with Oprah Winfrey with her husband Prince Harry in March this year, according to some comments, she “punched” them this time. These words uttered by Meghan Markle in the first episode of the podcast were again the subject of criticism and discussion.
HE CLAIMED THAT HIS AMBITION WAS NOT WELCOMED BY THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY
According to Markle, the British royal family took a negative approach to her ambition. As a result, Meghan Markle felt this negativity and suffered for it “behind closed doors”.

‘IF SHE HADN’T MARRIED HARRY SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN A STARLET TRYING TO BE FAMOUS’
Levin called Meghan Markle’s words “hypocrisy”. He then went on to heavily criticize her: “Meghan would still be a ‘starlet’ trying to find fame if she wasn’t married to a prince.”
Angela Levin claimed that Meghan Markle equated herself with Serena Williams, who was Meghan Markle’s guest on her podcast, and her next guest, the famous singer Mariah Carey. She then continued her criticism as follows: “Whereas they did brilliant things, they overcame a difficult childhood. Whereas Meghan married a prince and spent a lot of money.”
‘SLAP AT HARRY, PUNCH AT THE ROYAL FAMILY’
Levin’s criticism of Markle did not stop there. The royal expert continued as follows: “She thought ambition was normal. But then when she started flirting with Harry, she found that it was frowned upon.” Levin described Markle’s words “I suffered behind closed doors because I was ambitious” as “a slap in the face of her husband Harry” and “a punch in the face of the British royal family”.
Levin argued that the ambitions of the British royals were about a sense of duty and that no one was using this feeling to get to the front or the top.
GAVE THE EXAMPLE OF DIANA
Another royal expert, Richard Fitzwilliams, commented on Meghan Markle’s remarks on the podcast. Fitzwilliams argued that Meghan Markle felt “chosen” after she started dating Prince Harry. He then said: “She used to be ambitious and did well on Suits. But this is not a major league TV screen. Expert Fitzwilliams said that as a member of the royal family, it is okay to have some ambitions. He argued that ambition was encouraged within the family to be helpful to others. He then gave the example of Diana: “Diana was very passionate about charity. She did a great deal of good.”
Markle made another criticism of the British royal family in the podcast. She said that while she was on a tour of South Africa with her husband Harry, she learned that her son Archie narrowly escaped a fire in his bedroom. She added that although she burst into tears over this incident, she had to continue her duties on the tour.
BABY NARROWLY ESCAPES FIRE
According to Meghan Markle’s claim, her son Archie was in danger during a tour of South Africa with her husband Prince Harry. By the way, let us remind you that the couple took the little baby with them on the tour in question. While Meghan and Harry were at an event, a fire broke out in Archie’s nursery due to the heater. Baby Archie survived this incident. But Meghan Markle had to continue her duty, even though she wanted to run to his side immediately.
SHE TOLD THE INCIDENT FOR THE FIRST TIME
Markle also gave more comprehensive information about the incident in the podcast. Accordingly, while she was on duty with her husband, Archie was sleeping in the nursery. His babysitter went downstairs for a while. That’s when the heater in the nursery caught fire. According to Markle’s claim, there was no smoke alarm in the room. When someone downstairs smelled smoke, the incident was recognized and Archie was rescued from the fire.
Markle said she learned about the incident while giving a speech to female students. When the event was over and they went to their car, Markle said they learned about the incident. She said they returned to the residence and a lot of thoughts went through her mind at that moment: “Oh my God, everyone is crying and shaking. And what are we supposed to do, go out and do another official function? I said to myself, ‘This doesn’t make any sense.”
