Meghan Markle Spills Tea on Her Royal Treatment: "Lies Can't Live Forever"

In a scorching hot 90-minute podcast, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, opened up about her life in the royal spotlight and her journey to building a brand that's all her own. And trust us, she didn't hold back!

Joining entrepreneur Emma Grede on her Aspire podcast, Meghan got real about everything from her struggles with imposter syndrome to her plans for diversifying her brand into fashion. But what really got our attention was when the Duchess let loose about the "lies" that have plagued her life in the public eye.

"I would ask people to tell the truth," Meghan said calmly, referring to a specific moment in her past where she felt like everyone around her was spinning tales about her. And we can't help but wonder what kind of drama she's talking about!

Now, fans know that Meghan has been vocal about the challenges she faced as a member of the royal family, particularly when it came to being silenced or manipulated by those in power. But this time around, she seemed to take aim at an unnamed "lie" from eight years ago – and we're guessing it might have something to do with her high-profile romance with Prince Harry.

After all, remember how Meghan's wedding day was marred by rumors that Kate Middleton had left her in tears over flower girl dress drama? Or what about the time Meghan accused the Palace of perpetuating falsehoods about her and Harry?

Whatever the "lie" might be, it seems like Meghan is ready to set the record straight once and for all. And we can't get enough of this juicy gossip!

And then there was the moment when Meghan spoke about building a brand that's authentic and purpose-driven – something we can all get behind!

"I don't just build a brand; I build something with purpose, precision, and with a lot of heart," Meghan said. "There were moments that really stayed with me."

Meghan said she would 'ask people to tell the truth' if she could rewrite her public narrative

One of those moments was when Emma asked her to share some advice for other entrepreneurs who might be struggling to find their footing. And Meghan's response was pure gold: "Success starts small."

She went on to explain how she started her own brand, As Ever, with just a simple jam-making operation – and how it grew organically because it was real. And we can't help but feel inspired by this message!

Of course, no podcast would be complete without some juicy celebrity gossip. So when Emma asked Meghan about her recent twerking video (yes, you read that right!), the Duchess laughed it off as a reminder of the "real, authentic, fun life" she's living now.
