The Duchess of Sussex has shared her frustration after being told a ‘million times over’ that she was very fortunate to have ‘been chosen’ by Prince Harry.
In the third episode of her Spotify podcast, which featured The Office star Mindy Kaling, Meghan described the comments as stereotyped and gendered, explaining that her husband had ‘countered the narrative’ and told her: “They’ve got it all wrong. I’m the lucky one because you chose me.”
The mother-of-two said that when they became engaged, everyone told her: “Oh my God, you’re so lucky, he chose you.”
But the Duchess hit out at the comments and said: “At a certain point, after you hear it a million times over, you’re like, ‘well, I chose him too.’
“But, thankfully, I have a partner who was countering that narrative for me and going ‘They’ve got it all wrong. I’m the lucky one because you chose me.’”
Meghan also described the remarks as stereotyped and gendered as it fuels the idea that she was waiting for someone to tell her that she was good enough.
When Kate Middleton started dating Prince William, she told a friend who said that she was lucky to be going out with the prince: “He’s lucky to be going out with me!”
Meghan and Harry tied the knot in May 2018, with crowds flocking to see the couple on their wedding day.
The former actress wore a pure white wedding gown by Clare Waight Keller.
In her podcast, the mother-of-two said that she planned her wedding when she was 14 for an assignment in her religious education class.
She said she wanted it to be at the 5-star Hotel Bel-Air with a swan lake.
“But my grade on the project is actually neither here nor there because what strikes me now from my 40-something vantage point is the fact that this project was even graded at all,” Meghan expressed.
“The fact that this project even existed at no point, could you say nope. My dream for the future is to be single the message, even at my feminist all-girls school was as traditional as it gets. First comes love, then comes marriage.”
