Meghan Markle is once again making headlines for the comments she subtly dropped in her Netflix series With Love, Meghan. Although she doesn’t explicitly mention the Royal Family, many interpret her remarks as fresh digs aimed at them.
One of the most talked-about moments is when she describes how “inauthentic” it felt to wear pantyhose—the tights that have long been part of the traditional dress code for women in the British Royal Household. A seemingly minor detail, but one that didn’t go unnoticed.
Veteran royal correspondent Rebecca English is clear: Meghan’s responses were “well thought out” and hinted at several barbs directed at the Windsors.
And it’s true—contradictions even emerge in her fashion commentary. The Duchess now claims she wears neutral tones because they’re practical, yet in the past she said the Palace restricted her to those very colors.
That shifting narrative is what leads many to recall the late Queen Elizabeth II’s famous phrase, “recollections may vary.”
Another curious moment came during her interview with Emily Chang. When asked if there was something she wanted to say but couldn’t—an invitation to speak on politics, as she did before marrying Harry—Meghan dodged the question with a simple “no” and changed the subject.
Rebecca sees this as a full retreat. What’s interesting is that, despite Meghan’s insistence that she was silenced, she managed to do quite bold things during her royal tenure—from guest-editing Vogue to publishing a charity cookbook.
And how did the royal circle react? With indifference. According to Rebecca, the only message she received from palace insiders was a yawning emoji. That says it all. Perhaps that’s why, beyond the criticism, the feeling is that these veiled remarks no longer sting as they once did.
Royal watchers believe Meghan is trying to keep the conversation alive—but warn she risks sounding repetitive.
