Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, spoke with Variety magazine in an extensive interview. There she revealed details of her life and starred in a series of photos and the cover of the publication.

During the interview, Prince Harry‘s wife shared what the death of Queen Elizabeth, whom she called the “shining example” of female leadership, was like for her and her husband.
“I’m so grateful that I was able to be with my husband to support him, especially during that time. What is so beautiful is to look at the legacy that his grandmother was able to leave on so many fronts. I feel a deep gratitude that I was able to spend time with her and get to know her. I reflected on that first official engagement I had with her, how special it was. I feel fortunate and still proud to have had that beautiful closeness with the matriarch of the family,” she said of Queen Elizabeth, who passed away on September 8 at the age of 96.
In the wide-ranging interview she talked about everything from her shared office at home, to her husband Prince Harry, to how she would react if her two sons, Archie Harrison, 3, and daughter Lilibet Diana, 1, wanted to enter the entertainment industry.

“A big part of how my husband and I see things is through our love story. I think that’s what people around the world connected with, especially with our wedding. People love love love. And our definition of love is really broad: couple love, self-love, community love and family. We use that as the baseline for the kind of programs and documentaries we want to get out,” the Duchess said.
The publication was accompanied by a photo shoot where the duchess wore luxury outfits such as a blue dress designed by Carolina Herrera, as well as garments by Galvan London and Jason Wu.
Why do people criticize Meghan Markle?
As expected, Meghan, who arouses love and hate on social media, quickly became the topic of the moment. Photos from the photo shoot were shared on the magazine’s Instagram account and there were harsh comments for the duchess.
Some harshly criticized the duchess for distancing herself from the monarchy by fleeing the press and now starring on magazine covers, others also rejected the comparisons that the publication made between Meghan and Princess Diana.
Below are some of the comments that were most repeated on social networks. Many of the criticisms focus on her new life as a celebrity.
“I thought they had left Britain to lead a life out of the public eye? This cover is the exact opposite.”
“But you didn’t want to be in the media…yet here you are…in the media.”
“I’m sorry, but she’s nowhere near Diana. She’s a joke.”
“Please, please. Never. Never. Compare this woman to Diana.”
“Her eyes changed. Now they say, “I love power. I am the best.”
