Meghan Markle alleged that she was called ‘ambitious’ for dating the Prince
Meghan said, “I don’t remember personally feeling the negative connotation behind the word ambitious until I started dating my now husband, and apparently ambition is a terrible, terrible thing. For women.” She further said, “Since I felt the negativity behind it, it’s really hard to unfeel it. I can’t unsee it either in the millions of girls and women who make themselves smaller, so much smaller on a regular basis.”
Further, she also talked about how society starts treating men and women differently after they have kids. “The double standard between how men and women are treated after having kids is so, so real. I’ve felt it,” she said.
The Duchess explained that through her podcast she wants to explore stereotypes that inhibit women, “boxes like a diva, crazy, the B-word” and get to the bottom of where they come from, and why they’ve stuck around for so long.
She also added that she wanted to share her experiences and those of other women, in the hope that her own “own lived experience will help other women open up to reveal the layers of thriving within all of us”.
