Meghan Markle Faces Backlash After Mariah Carey Labels Her a Diva

Meghan Markle's reputation as a diva has been further solidified by revelations in Tom Bower's book, portraying her as quick to cry racism when criticized.

However, what happens when the critique comes from none other than global pop icon Mariah Carey?

For the second installment of Meghan's podcast Archetypes, Carey joined her to discuss the nuances of the term “diva,” shedding light on both its positive and negative connotations.

Among Meghan's known aversions is her reported disdain for her sister-in-law, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge.

Speculation suggests that Meghan expressed disappointment when Kate declined an invitation to go shopping with her.

This rumor implies that Meghan overlooked Kate's responsibilities as a mother of two young children, with a third on the way, as well as her royal duties.

Meghan's subtle jabs at the royal family, particularly Catherine, during the podcast episode did not go unnoticed.

Mariah Carey's characterization of Meghan as a diva further fueled the ongoing criticism surrounding the show.

Australian columnist Justin Smith criticized Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, for seeming out of touch with reality during an interview on Sky News Australia.

Smith's comments were met with a response from Sky News Australia host Chris Kenney, who highlighted Meghan's missed opportunities to engage with accomplished women like Serena Williams and Mariah Carey.

Despite their impressive achievements, Meghan's podcast episodes often revolve around herself rather than allowing her guests to shine.

Veteran journalist Peter Ford added to the chorus of disapproval, slamming Meghan for releasing the podcast episode on the 25th anniversary of Princess Diana's death.

Ford questioned Meghan's timing, suggesting she could have shown respect for Diana's legacy by postponing the release.

He took to social media to express his disappointment, emphasizing that Meghan had the platform to honor Diana in a more meaningful way.

Ford's criticism extended to the potential impact of Meghan's actions on Prince Harry, insinuating that he might have considered the implications of overshadowing such a significant anniversary.

The timing of the podcast release raised eyebrows and drew attention to Meghan's seemingly self-centered approach to her public appearances.

The controversy surrounding Meghan's podcast episodes underscores the ongoing scrutiny she faces in the public eye.

While her guests bring substantial accomplishments to the table, Meghan's tendency to steer the conversation back to herself has drawn criticism from various quarters.

As the debate continues, Meghan's handling of her public image remains a topic of interest and discussion among observers and commentators alike.
