(NewsNation) — Meghan has revealed how she would rewrite her public narrative if given the chance on the latest episode of Emma Grede’s podcast.
The 43-year-old appeared in Tuesday’s episode of “Aspire with Emma Grede.” In the 90-minute episode, Grede asked Meghan about the public’s perception of her and what she would change if she had the chance.
“I would ask people to tell the truth,” Meghan revealed. “A lie can’t live forever. Eight years is a long time, but it’s not forever.”
Meghan was in the spotlight before she started dating Prince Harry in 2016 as one of the lead actresses on USA Network’s Suits. Markle married Harry in 2018 and performed her royal duties until the couple stepped back in 2020 and moved to the United States.
Since they stepped back, both Harry and Meghan have talked about the mistreatment they received while doing their royal duties and how the palace didn’t protect them. In 2021, the couple shared their story in a CBS interview. They also revealed a lot more in their 2022 docuseries “Harry & Meghan” on Netflix.
Meghan’s ‘baby mama dance’ video goes viral
Meghan also spoke with Grede about a video she recently posted on Instagram that has gone viral. The “baby mama dance” video was a throwback that she posted for her daughter, Princess Lilibet’s, birthday.
Grede told Meghan that she did a “little secret cheer” when she saw the video that Meghan had filmed in the delivery room before Lilibet was born.
