Mariah Carey's Royal Snub: The Diva Drama with Meghan Markle
SHOCKING ROYAL SNUB: Mariah Carey's Scathing Diss at Meghan Markle Leaves Royal Fans Gobsmacked
It's a battle of diva-titude between two powerful women, and only one can emerge victorious. In a jaw-dropping new interview, pop icon Mariah Carey has revealed that she deliberately snubbed Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle during their 2022 meeting on Markle's Archetypes podcast.
The tense exchange occurred just three years after the pair had a highly publicized disagreement over being labeled "divas." The drama unfolded when Carey appeared on Hits Radio this week, where she was asked about her interactions with the Royal family. With characteristic sass, the 56-year-old singer curtly replied: "Fergie [Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York], I thought she was cool."
However, what Carey conveniently seemed to forget was that she had previously met Markle on her podcast in 2022, where they engaged in a heated discussion about the complexities surrounding the term "diva." During the conversation, Carey infamously labeled Markle a "diva," sparking a fiery debate over whether the Duchess of Sussex took it as an insult or a compliment.
The drama began when Markle and her husband Prince Harry stepped back from their roles as working Royals in 2020. But despite this change, Markle remains a member of the Royal family, leaving many to wonder if Carey's snub was a deliberate attempt to one-up the Duchess.
In an explosive episode of Archetypes, titled "The Duality of Diva," Carey and Markle delved into the thorny issue of being labeled "divas." Markle seemed taken aback when Carey accused her of being a "diva" in public, with Carey insisting that she was simply referring to Markle's posture, clothing, and overall "gorgeous ensembles."
However, Markle later claimed on her podcast that she had initially felt hurt by Carey's comment, stating: "You couldn't see me, obviously, but I started to sweat a little bit and started squirming in my chair in this quiet revolt... Like 'wait, no, what, how could you? That's not true, why would you say that?'"
The tension between the two women was palpable as Carey explained her intentions: "It's also the visual, it's the visual. A lot of it is the look, let's say you, let's pretend that you weren't so beautiful and didn't have the whole thing, and didn't often have gorgeous ensembles, you wouldn't maybe get as much diva."
Markle responded by saying: "That's the thing, I associate it differently. My fangirling was tempered today... But that aside, it was all going swimmingly, really well, until that moment happened, which I don't know about you, but it stopped me in my tracks. When she called me a diva."
In a stunning twist, Markle later claimed on her podcast that Carey had been complimenting her by calling her a "diva," adding: "I kind of think she could tell... But what was really interesting to me is how one word can mean something different for each person. It's mind-blowing to me."
The fallout from the exchange has left Royal fans in an uproar, with many taking sides on social media. The question remains: who emerged victorious in this battle of wits between two powerful women?
In a shocking twist, it seems that Carey may have been more hurt by Markle's association with being labeled "diva" than she initially let on. When asked about her interactions with the Royal family during her Hits Radio interview, Carey seemed to be avoiding any further discussion about Markle.
However, in a telling sign of how serious the rift is between the two women, it seems that Carey has deliberately snubbed Markle in public, sparking rumors that their once-strong friendship may have finally come to an end.
UPDATE
Sources close to the Royal family have revealed that the tension between Carey and Markle runs deeper than initially thought. According to insiders, the pair had a heated exchange on set during the recording of Archetypes, with Markle feeling "hurt" by Carey's comments.
The feud has sparked a heated debate among Royal fans, with many taking sides on social media. However, what remains clear is that this battle of diva-titude between Mariah Carey and Meghan Markle will be one for the ages.
