Yet again, Meghan Markle is using her podcast to clap back at haters! On Tuesday’s new episode of Archetypes titled “To ‘B’ Or Not To ‘B’?” with guests Mellody Hobson and Victoria Jackson, the Duchess of Sussex slammed the use of the word “bitch” while appearing to hit back at her “Duchess Difficult” nickname!

On the podcast, the 41-year-old insisted the word “difficult,” something she’s also been called a lot, is merely used to “gaslight” strong women, just like the “B-word.” Noting how the derogatory label tends to be given to a “specific type of woman,” Prince Harry’s wife shared: Seems like she’s speaking from first-hand experience!

At the time, one of her reportedly negative habits included sending emails at 5 a.m., leading an aide to quit! The unfortunate nickname was first reported in the Daily Express when royal correspondent Richard Palmer claimed the Suits alum was “regarded as difficult and demanding by some in the family and on the staff.” It wasn’t long until other negative accusations popped up in the headlines — such as the claims she left Princess Catherine AKA Kate Middleton in tears over demands about Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaids’ dress ahead of her wedding.

A matter of contention they are still arguing about… Interestingly, “Duchess Difficult” is not the only nickname she has earned in the royal family.
